Bacon Ranch Foil Packet Potatoes

One of my favorite things (of, admittedly, many) to cook on the grill is potatoes in a foil packet. The packets themselves are so easy to put together, and the flavor of the end product really is amazing. I especially love it when the potatoes at the bottom – the ones closest to the grill flame – get a little charred and stick to the foil. I love crispy potatoes, so my husband is always kind enough to let me have the ones in his packet, too. He’s a pretty good guy, that one.

Bacon Ranch Foil Packet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 3 sheets of heavy-duty foil
• 10-12 baby red potatoes, thinly sliced
• 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons butter
• Sour cream for serving, if desired

Instructions:

Spray each sheet of foil with cooking spray. Top each piece with equal portions of potatoes, bacon, and ranch dressing mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each serving. Wrap securely.

Grill for 20 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve in foil, topped with sour cream if desired.

Casserole recipes are fairly simple: grain or pasta + meat + sauce + cheese = delicious dinner. I don’t have a name for this latest creation. Maybe I should just call this “Crazy Good Casserole” – It has chicken, bacon, cheese, creamy saucy goodness… It’s crazy good.

I threw this together one busy weeknight. I had a different casserole in mind, but I found I did not have all the ingredients. So I changed it up a bit and came out with a winner. This Cheesy Bacon Chicken Casserole is one of our favorites!

Chicken Dumpling Casserole...a new twist on the southern Sunday favorite!

Chicken Dumpling Casserole
Recipe adapted from: flavorite.net

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, boiled and shredded*
• 2 cups chicken stock (from boiling the breasts above)
• 1 stick of butter ( 8 Tbsp which equals 1/2 cup)
• 2 cups Bisquick or self-rising flour
• 2 cups 2% milk (whatever you prefer)
• 1 can cream of chicken soup (the herbed cream of chicken soup adds lots more flavor)
• 3 t. Wylers chicken granules or 3 bouillon cubes
• 1/2 t. dried sage
• 1 t. black pepper & salt, as desired
•  (*you can use any chicken you choose this is simply what we use most often)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sauce pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat; place a lid on your pot and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking. Remove chicken from stock (reserve the stock) and allow to cool, then shred the chicken.

When building the layered casserole, do not mix the layers.

Layer 1 - In 9x13 or larger casserole dish, melt 1 stick of butter.  Spread shredded chicken over butter.   Sprinkle black pepper and dried sage over this layer.  Note: If you want to serve this as a pot pie, add a layer of vegetables now. 

Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour over chicken.

Layer 3 - In medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the chicken stock (strained, if needed), chicken granules and soup. Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer.

(Tip - Add some of the hot stock to the soup can to help melt the soup and get it all out of the can).

Bake time varies by oven and the size pan you decide to use, therefore, bake until the top is golden brown- approx. 50-60 minutes.

Chile Tortilla Eggbake

There are simply not enough words for "simple" and "perfect" to describe this do-ahead one-dish meal--the very best thing to bake and serve the crowd that is crowding hungrily around your kitchen looking for breakfast on, say, a holiday morning. Because you assemble it the night before, all you have to do the next day is pop it in the oven. When it emerges, the whole thing will be appealingly brown and bubbly and oozy, and the tortillas will have gotten thick and soft in a way that makes it kind of like quiche only, somehow, better. This recipe is also endlessly adaptable: you can simply omit the chiles, or swap in something else like sautéed mushrooms and onions.

Chile Tortilla Eggbake

Ingredients:

• 6 flour tortillas, soft-taco size (fewer if the tortillas are larger)
• 3-4 small cans of chopped green chiles, drained and rinsed in a sieve
• 1 pound grated cheese
• 5 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups milk (2% or whole, but not skim)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or half as much table salt)

Instructions:

Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish.

Cover the bottom of the dish with tortillas, overlapping as little as possible. You will use 2 tortillas per layer: Tearthem in half, and by the time you get all the flat sides pressed up against the edges of the baking dish, it's pretty much all set. Now sprinkle the tortillas with 1/2 of the chiles and 1/3 of the cheese, then add another layer of tortillas and top it with the rest of the chiles and another 1/3 of the cheese. Add the final layer of tortillas, sprinkle it with the remaining cheese, and then whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt in a bowl, and pour this over the whole casserole.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, heat the oven to 350 and get the casserole out of the fridge. Let come to room temperature.  Bake for 35 minutes. When done it will be gloriously browned around the edges, and it will jiggle not at all.

Let it sit 5 or 10 minutes before cutting it, so that it has time to set up. If you cut into it, and it's very obviously not cooked through (e.g. raw egg), then pop it back into the oven for 10 more minutes. But what is normal is for there to be a little bit of clearish liquid that separates out as you slice it: this is from the chiles and is fine.
