Recipes are simple ones, they are not always fast cooking, but they are easy to make. These are basic recipes, no fancy foo-foo items needed. The kids will eat these recipes.The recipes are not low fat, or low calorie and do not claim to be. These are good stick to your ribs recipes. A lot of them have tomato or pasta sauce so steer clear if you are allergic.I learned a few modifications for two of my recipes, chicken pot pie and my lasagna recipe. I will be trying these ones right away.The pictures aren't the greatest but I judge by the recipe because my food is home cooked by a non-artistic person. I can pretty much guarantee that anything made with my hands won't look like the picture in the book!Bonus recipe not in this book.Enchilada Casserole1 10-15 ounce can of black, pinto or kidney beans-drained1 can of corn- drained or leftover corn from another meal12 corn tortillas shredded into strips or inch pieces. Cut them if you want uniform or just rip them-you choose1 large can or aprox two cups of enchilada sauce red or green. Use ranchero sauce if you prefer1 cup of salsa or not, your choice to add or delete1 pound of browned and drained hamburger or aprox three cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey1 cup shredded cheeseSour cream for garnishTurn the oven to 350 to preheat. Put your casserole dish on a baking sheet, then add ingredients except the cheese, in any order that pleases you. Stir until all tortillas are wet with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until bubbly, aprox twenty to twenty five minutes.Serve with a green salad or get creative and dump your shredded lettuce on top of each serving. This recipe is called Gambler's Choice around here. I make it by my mood. Some days I add a medium chopped onion browned with the meat, some days I leave out the corn, some days I add pitted olives (read the label, as a newlywed I served this with olives that had pits inside!), etc.. I have even made this with chili instead of browned meat, omitting the enchilada sauce. Be sure to note what version your family enjoys best so you get it just right.
