Texas Chili Bake

The days are starting to get colder so I need some good warm food. This recipe was delicious. I received it in the mail from a swapper over at Swap-Bot

1 lb ground beef

1 packet chili seasoning mix

8 oz can tomato sauce

1 cup water

16 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Brown ground beef and drain. Mix in chili seasoning, tomato sauce and water. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in kidney beans, 1 cup chips and 1 1/2 cups cheese. Pour into baking dish.  Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. 

Top with remaining chips and cheese. Bake uncovered for 4-5 more minutes. 

Cheesy Beef Pockets

This recipe is from one of the Taste of Home recipe books I picked up at the grocery store.

1/2 lb ground beef

1 tbsp chopped onions

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

2/3 cup shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Brown ground beef, onion, salt and pepper. Drain and cool.  Flatten out a biscuit into an oval shape.

Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with cheese.

Place another flattened out biscuit on top and press edges together with a fork to seal. Repeat for remaining biscuits.  Place on greased baking sheet. Prick tops with a fork. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Au Gratin Pork Chops

This casserole dish was very good and I loved that it had veggies and potatoes all cooked together. 

2 packages au gratin potatoes

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 cups milk, divided

16 oz frozen green beans

6 boneless pork chops

1 can cheddar cheese soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place potatoes in a greased baking dish. In a small bowl combine mushroom soup, 1 cup milk and 1 sauce mix packet. Pour over potatoes.  

Top with green beans and pork chops. In a large bowl combine cheddar cheese soup, remaining milk, and other sauce mix packet. Pour over chops.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20-25 more minutes.

Chicken and Ham Casserole

This is another recipe I received in the mail from a swap through Swap-Bot.  

It was pretty good and quick to prepare. 

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup diced ham

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup diced chicken

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place half of bread crumbs on bottom of baking dish. Spread ham on top of crumbs.  Mix chicken and mushroom soup and spread over ham. Cover with remaining crumbs.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
