Super Easy Chicken Taquito Enchiladas

These are so good and so easy!  You won't even believe how easy it is.

Let's Get Crafty!

Preheat oven to 375

Ingredients:

12-15 chicken taquitos (our pan was full with 13)

1 can green enchilada sauce (we had a large can - I used about half of it and froze the rest)

1 1/2 cups of cheese (I used cheddar and a mexican blend)

That's It!  That is seriously it.

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until cheese is all melty and bubbly

Crab Cakes

The dinner request was for crab cakes and we decided to make it work with canned crab meat.  Not fancy... but turned out much better than I suspected it would!  Big shout out to my husband for his frying skills.

Let's Get Crafty!

Gently combine together:

1 pound crab meat (4 cans of 4oz each)
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped fine
4 tablespoons panko
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Whisk together and pour over the  crab mixture:

1 egg

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon stone ground mustard

Add to the party:

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Shape the crab cakes into the size you want

We tried to bake them on a low broil and they didn't seem to be cooking right.  They certainly weren't getting the crispy edges we were wanting so my husband fried them for 2 minutes on each side on medium high.

So good!  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.

Meatloaf Cupcakes

One of my favorite things about meatloaf is the crispy edges.  That is what intrigued me about this recipe.  By making them cupcakes - there are lots of crispy edges.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef (I used 88% lean)

2 eggs

1 cup italian breadcrumbs

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs 

3/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Bake for 20-25 minutes and then flip in the "cupcakes" and bake on a low broil for another 10 minutes or so to help them crisp up.

This made 24 cupcakes for us.  We ate some the initial night and then I froze some for another super easy meal down the road.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day.

Smashed Potatoes

We bought a bag of red and golden baby potatoes last time we were at Costco and I wanted to make a low maintenance side to go with dinner.  These are a total winner!  My favorite part is the way the edges get all crispy and delicious.

 

Let's Get Crafty!

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Ingredients:

Baby potatoes about a dozen - boil in water for 10-15 minutes until cooked

Smash the softened potatoes (I used the bottom of a cup) and then top with EVOO and minced garlic 

Then bake for 10-15 minutes. Ah-MAZ-ing.

So easy and so delicious.
