Grilling out this weekend? Why not try a yummy side dish that you can prepare on the grill as well?!

Ingredients:

3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Transfer to a double thickness of greased heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Dot with butter.
Fold foil around potato mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-18 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender.
Carefully open foil. Sprinkle the bacon cheeses over potato mixture. Grill 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Let’s face it, we as grown-ups still love the good ole Mac & Cheese. What if I told you could make it in the crock pot with UNCOOKED noodles?! Here’s how…

Ingredients:

Cooking oil spray
2 cups skim milk
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups preshredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Directions:

Spray the pot of the slow cooker or if using a liner bag, spray the bag well. In a mixing bowl whisk together milk, evaporated milk, egg, salt and pepper. Pour milk mixture into the crockpot. Add cheese and uncooked macaroni. Stir gently to mix.

Turn slow cooker on low and cook 3-4 hours, or until the custard is set and the macaroni is tender. (Do not cook more than 4 hours, or the sides will begin to dry out).

Rachel’s Recipes: Stuffed Cream Chicken

Rachel — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:11:18 +0000

This is a recipe I found from one of my grandma’s old recipe books. It takes about an hour to make, but the prep time is only about 5 minutes. Makes a good gravy as well for some mashed potatoes to go with the meal, and it will sound gourmet!

Ingredients:

6 Chicken Breasts
2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup (1 can of water to mix with)
Stove Top Stuffing Mix (Chicken Flavored)
1 stick of Margarine

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix Cream of Chicken Soup with 1 can of water and set aside. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of a glass 8 1/2 *11 pan. Smother the chicken with Cream of Chicken soup. After an hour in the oven, pull chicken out. Melt margarine in microwave and mix with stuffing mix. Layer this on top of the chicken and put back in the oven. Let cook for another 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes and enjoy!

Makes a really good left over dish as well!
