Easy Cheese enchiladas -

1 lb hamburger meat

2 cans Wolf Brand Chili
White corn tortillas
1 big bag of the Kraft Mexican blend cheese (or store brand if it's cheaper!)


Directions
Brown your hamburger meat drain grease. Add the package of taco seasoning following directions on pkg, and then add the chili. Keep warm in pot on the stove.

Warm tortillas in microwave between moist paper towels. Roll the cheese in the tortillas and line in a casarole dish. Once you get your first layer spoon your chili mix over it and then cover in more cheese. Make additional layers the same way. Once finished making layers cover with foil and place in the over for about 10 min. at 350 giving the cheese enough time to melt.

Chicken A la Nicole!

3 cups of rice
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
Some Velveeta cheese (depends on how much you like cheese to how much you want to put in)

Boil the chicken until done and easy to pull apart.
Boil your rice
Mix the mushroom soup and chicken soup together, add a little bit of water, and cube up however much cheese you would like. the more the creamier!
when chicken is done, cut up into little cubes

mix all of the above. top with some shredded cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted. its super easy and takes no time at all and its very tasty! this is a recipe i made up when i didn't have anything else in the house and the store was closed! hope you enjoy!!

Quoting Noobalishtasticabilities:“ Does anyone know anything tasty to do with Cod, or the best way to prepare it?”

my mom used to make the best cod! I've never been able to remake it but, here goes a try.

in a food processor she mixed mushrooms, red and yellow bell pepper and garlic. she chopped in the processor super fine until it was almost but not quite a paste. She'd top the cod w/the mixture and pan fry. Darn tastey!!!
