Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Bake

I ran across this on facebook the other day and made it.  We loved it.



Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Bake
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 ranch dressing mix--dry powder ( I used Italian because I had it)
14 medium potatoes, cubed    (We used about 9)
3 chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces  (used 2)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup green onions, chopped
1 tsp. black pepper

Preheat over to 500.
In a large bowl combine, olive oil, salt, pepper and ranch dressing (or dressing of choice).
Add the potatoes to the oil mixture and toss well.  Spoon potatoes into a 9 X 13 baking dish that has been sprayed. Leave behind as much oil mixture as possible.
Roast potatoes until crispy, about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Cut raw chicken into bite size pieces and add to oil mixture and toss well.
In a separate bowl mix the cheese, bacon and onion.
When potatoes are crispy, remove from oven. Lower the temperature to 400.
Top potatoes with raw chicken and the cheese mixture.  Bake for another 15-20 minutes.  (I did about 30)
Allow to cool for 10 minutes.  Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing (or dressing you used) if desired.

Breakfast Casserole

This is a casserole that I make often to take to work.

1 can crescent rolls
ground sausage
onions
green peppers
mushrooms
3 to 4 eggs
grated cheddar cheese
milk

Using a 9x13 dish spray the bottom.  Unroll the crescent rolls and put into bottom of dish pressing the seams together.

Cook your sausage with the onions, green peppers and mushrooms.  I season it with salt, pepper and some Cajun seasoning.  Drain when done. Put the mixture onto the rolls.

Break the eggs into a bowl and beat.  Stir in some milk and stir together.  Pour over the sausage mixture.  I put about 1/2 the bag of cheese on now.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.  When the crust is brown. Put the rest of the cheese on top when it comes out of the oven.

Sorry not more specific but haven't seen the original recipe in years and I just do it this way.
You can change the toppings and amount of eggs you put on.  Also adjust the seasonings.  Have used red pepper flakes too.

Turkey Pot Pie

Several years ago when my kids were younger we went by some friends house to exchange Christmas gifts and she was making a turkey pot pie from left over turkey and I have did it that way since.

Depending on how much you are making I use the jar turkey gravy --put it into a large pan, add the diced up turkey meat, and then I add cans of mixed vegetables or just seperate cans of green beans, carrots, corn and diced up potatoes. I add sage, Old Bay Herb Seasoning and some cajun seasoning letting it all get hot together and then I pour that into a dish and I add canned biscuits on the top and bake it at 350 until biscuits are done. We love it.

I add a dab of cajun seasoning to alot of dishes for some reason. Even to my chicken and dumplings.
