Recipes
This week we're continuing the White Sauce recipes... Next week, we're experimenting with more food storage recipes. We're going to try Whole Wheat Meatloaf, Broccoli & Cauliflower Bake, and Spaghetti Pie. But that's next week...
2 cups Cream of Chicken soup (made from the white sauce recipe)
10 to 12 Tortillas
2 cans Green Chilis, drained
16 oz shredded cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 cups cooked & diced chicken
Assembly:
In a bowl, mix soup, cheese, chicken, chilis & sour cream. Now, fill each tortilla with a generous scoop. Roll tortillas, place in 9 X 13 pan. Continue filling tortillas until mix is used up. Sprinkle tortillas in pan with shredded cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve with salsa.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ham & Cheese Roll Ups (This is a great post-Easter-use-up-the-Ham recipe)
1-2 cups White Sauce prepared
2+ cups of ham sliced
2 cups shredded cheese
12 + tortillas
Assembly:
In each tortilla, scoop a generous heap of white sauce. next layer slices on ham and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla up and place in baking dish. When your dish is full of "Roll Ups", bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
Roll Ups should be sightly crispy. My kids hold & eat the Roll Ups like tacquitos.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CREAMED EGGS (Another post Easter Recipe that helps you use up the Boiled Eggs)
4 cups White Sauce prepared
8 boiled eggs
2 bouillon cubes
Hot Biscuits
Once you have your white sauce prepared, grate in the eggs and mix in the bouillon. Stir until well blended.
Poured creamed egg mixture over fresh hot biscuits.
(I like to serve this breakfast dish with sausage. I know it's over-the-top-artery-clogging, but we only eat this once a year.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
New Potatoes & Peas (Yummy with fresh peas from your garden)
2 cups White Sauce prepared
2 lbs new potatoes- cooked
1 lb peas
Prepare white sauce. Add potatoes & peas. Cook on medium for 10 minutes.
Serve.
