Easy Peasy

Here are a few super easy recipes. You can never have too many!

Bisquick's Chicken Pot Pie



1 2/3 c frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup cooked chicken
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 c milk
1 egg

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix veggies, chicken, and soup in an ungreased pie dish.
Stir together remaining ingredients and pour over the top of the chicken mixture.
Bake for 30 min or until golden brown.



* I like to add a little bit of chopped, cooked potato and sometimes onion to this as well. I also usually season with salt and pepper and a little bit of garlic powder and add a little cheese to the top. Either way, it's super easy and yummy.

"Healthified" Mexican Pasta Skillet from Eat Better America (a great website)

"<span class=

1lb extra-lean (at least 93%) ground beef
1jar (16 oz) Muir Glen® organic mild salsa
1cup Muir Glen® organic tomato sauce (from 15-oz can)
1 1/2cups water
2cups uncooked regular or multigrain elbow macaroni
1cup Green Giant® Niblets® frozen corn
1/2cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
1.In 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
2.Stir in salsa, tomato sauce and water. Heat to boiling. Stir in macaroni and corn. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is tender.
3.Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

* I used turkey, instead of beef and whatever salsa I had in my fridge. It was really yummy and easy. Kind of like a homemade hamburger helper. Only this is better and cheaper, and possibly easier. You can't beat that!
