Chicken and Potato Casserole

This is another recipe that I changed a bit because I didn't think Marley would like the buffalo sauce on it. Okay, who am I kidding, I didn't think I would like it either.  If I make it again, I will probably put the sauce in but for now I left it out.

1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips

6 cups frozen (thawed) southern-style hash brown potatoes

1 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 

1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of celery soup

1/2 cup corn flake crumbs

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix potatoes, celery soup, cheese, and ranch in a bowl. 

Pour into 9x13 baking dish. 

Place chicken on top of potato mixture. 

Mix corn flakes with melted butter. 

Pour corn flakes on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. 

Uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. 

Tater Tot Tacos

I'm not really sure why these are called tater tot tacos. There's no taco shell, but there is taco seasoning so maybe that's why. Who knows?! All I know is that it was delicious!

1 packet taco seasoning

1 lb ground beef, browned and drained

tater tots

shredded cheddar cheese

Cook tater tots according to directions on package.

Brown ground beef and drain grease. Mix in taco season according to package directions. 

Place cooked tater tots on bottom of baking dish or bowl. Pour taco meat on top. Cover with shredded cheese. Place in warm oven until cheese is melted.

March Kiwi Crate Review

I signed Marley up for a monthly subscription to Kiwi Crate back in November. She loves getting them in the mail and making each little craft.

This month the theme was Secret Agent. Her crate had two crafts, a periscope and a disguise kit. 

It also had an invisible ink pen. That's probably the coolest part! 

She jumped right in and was able to make the disguise masks herself. 

After she was done playing with the masks I helped her make the periscope. Sometimes the crafts require a lot of adult help and sometimes they don't. 

We spent some time spying Mike while he was outside fixing his car. 

This is the sixth crate that Marley's received. I have been very pleased with all of them.

Crock Pot Sour Cream Chicken

I've been using my crock pot a lot this month. It's so nice to just throw everything in there in the morning or afternoon and have it ready when we're ready to eat dinner. I found this recipe and I tweaked a few things but it still turned out amazing. Mike added this chicken to his list of the best meals I've made.

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 (10 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Mix sour cream and both cans of mushroom soup in a small bowl. 

Place chicken in bottom of crock pot and sprinkle some salt and pepper on top. Spread sour cream mix over top. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.

This could be served over rice or noodles or just by itself.  

We're not big sour cream fans but I didn't taste the sour cream at all so don't let the fact that it has sour cream in it scare you away.
