Arroz Con Pollo (Ana's Favorite!)

You will need two to four (2-4) chicken breasts (depending on how many will be dining and what part of the chicken you desire), one quarter (1/4) of a medium sized onion, one half (1/2) can of diced fire roasted tomatoes, two (2) chicken bouillon cubes, and one (1) 5oz. package of yellow rice, and one (1) tablespoon of vegetable oil for this recipe.

Chop a quarter of your onion into size desired.

Brown your chicken using the vegetable oil in a medium/large skillet or frying pan. Remove the chicken from the pan and let rest on a dish.

Meanwhile, boil 14 oz. of water and drop your two (2) bouillon cubes in to dissolve. You may also use prepared chicken broth or stock if you have some available.

After your chicken is done, saute your onions in the pan juices.

Add to the onions the tomatoes (do not drain), rice, chicken broth/stock, and your chicken. Carefully mix your ingredients together.

Cover your pan and let simmer on low for thirty-five to forty (35-40) minutes.  Check after thirty-five (35) and make sure your rice isn't burning on the bottom of your pan.

When the lid is removed your meal should look like this.  The broth and tomato juices will be completely absorbed by the rice.

Plate up and enjoy!

Cheesy Sausage Croissants

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Gather your ingredients: one (1) chub of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage (any flavor you like, though I used maple), one (1) container of cheddar cheese spread (don't know the brand off hand), and two (2) tubes of crescent rolls (should be a total of 16).

Brown your ground sausage, crumbling while you cook.

Mix together the cheese spread and the drained sausage.

Spray your cooking sheet with Pam or Crisco to prevent the croissants from sticking.

Unroll your crescents and place one heaping tablespoon of your sausage mixture onto the dough.  Roll your crescents as you would normally.  Be careful that your mixture does not fall out of the sides.

Cook your crescents for 12-15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy!

Dorito Cassserole

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Brown 1 - 1.5 lbs of ground beef, depending on how much meat you prefer.

Gather the rest of your ingredients while your ground beef is cooking.  You will need one (1) regular sized bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, one (1) can of cream of chicken soup, one (1) can cream of mushroom soup, one (1) can of Ro-Tel tomatoes (spicy or mild), and two (2) cups of shredded cheddar or cheddar cheese blend.

Drain your cooked ground beef.

Mix together the ground beef, soups, two (2) cups of broken Doritos, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and one (1) cup of cheese. Pour casserole into a 9x13in pan (I actually used one a that was a bit smaller - 9x11in) and crumble 1/2-1 cup of Doritos to make a top layer.

Your oven should be preheated by now.

Cook your casserole covered with foil for about 20-25 minutes.

Remove your casserole and cover it with 1/2-1 cup of cheese.  Cook for five minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Take out of the oven and enjoy!
