Taco Dip

This has got to be Chris' favorite dips!! The recipe comes from my best friend Christin, and it's a home run every time we have it!! Sometimes I will add black olives between the bean and meat layers. I also only put jalapenos on half when I make it for the entire family so that the kids don't get any in theirs! 

INGREDIENTS:

16oz container sour cream
1lb ground beef (or venison)
1 (14.5oz) can re-fried beans
1 package taco seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar (or fiesta blend)
1/2lb grated jalapeno cheese
sliced or diced jalapenos (optional)
4oz can black olives (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Cook ground beef and drain. Add taco seasoning and stir. Spread meat in bottom of 9x13 casserole dish. If using olives spread them over meat. Spread re-fried beans over top of olives and meat. You can heat the beans on the stove or in microwavable bowl until they are softened up and easier to spread. Sprinkle jalapenos over beans...remember it doesn't take much! Next spread the sour cream then top with the cheeses!!

BAKE:

OVEN: 350
TIME: 40-45 until bubbling and cheese is melted!

Serve with tortilla chips!

ENJOY!

Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a very easy recipe for chicken noodle soup! I have never been a big fan of chicken noodle soup but last week, as my entire little family was recovering from a terrible bug,  I made a batch of this and it was SOOO good! Hope you enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

1 TBSP Butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 (14.5oz) cans chicken broth
1 (14.5oz) vegetable broth
1/2 lb chopped cooked chicken breast
1 1/2 cups egg noodles
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion and celery in butter until just tender, about 5-7 mins. Pour in chicken and vegetable broths and basil, oregano, carrots, and noodles. Salt and pepper as desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 mins before serving!

Makes about 6 servings. Although I added a little more broth, chicken, and noodles to make a little more! Delish!!!
