New Recipes

I tried a few new recipes this week. They turned out really well. They were super easy and quick, so I wanted to share them with you.

Chicken Tortilla Chowder

*from Taste of Home* 2 cans cream of potato soup 2 cans cream of chicken soup 2 cups milk 1 can chicken broth 1 can mexicorn, drained 1 package ready-to-serve chicken breast strips, chopped (I used Oscar Myer Deli Fresh Southwestern chicken strips) 1 small can chopped green chilis 3 flour tortillas, sliced 2 in. x 1/2 in. strips cheese Heat soups, milk, and broth in large pot, stirring frequently. Add corn, chicken, and chilis; bring to a boil. Stir in tortilla strips. Simmer 5 minutes. Stir in cheese.

BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups

*from Kraft Foods* 1 lb. lean beef Small green bell pepper, chopped Small red bell pepper, chopped (I used onion instead) 1/3 cup Bbq sauce (I eyeballed it and added a little more) 1 can of refrigerated biscuits (about 10 biscuits) Mexican style cheese Brown the meat in a medium pot with peppers (and onions). Stir in bbq sauce. In a muffin pan (12 cup pan), press 1 biscuit into the bottom and press it up against the sides of each cup. Fill biscuit cups with the meat mixture, and press the mixture down with the back of a spoon. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until biscuits are lightlybrowned. Top with cheese and bake 3-4 more minutes until cheese is melted. I served my beef biscuits with mashed potatoes, Steam Fresh corn (which I have fallen in LOVE with), and sauteed fresh green beans and zuccini with garlic.

Delicious!
