Taco Chili

Chili:
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 vidalia onion
1 26.5 oz. can of your favorite pasta sauce
1 15 oz. can light red kidney beans

Toppings:
6 roma tomatoes, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 bag shredded lettuce
2 cups shredded taco cheese
1 jalepeno pepper, sliced
1 bag regular Fritos
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can black beans, warmed

Brown ground beef and add vidalia onions to saute. Drain. Add rest of chili ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.

Put toppings in seperate containers, and serve buffet style. Fill bowls half full of chili, and then people can top their chili with taco toppings, beginning with cheese (so it can melt) and Fritos, then beans and fresh vegetables. This is a favorite in both cold months (to take the chill off) and warm months, when veggies can be taken right from the garden or the farmer's market!
Yield: 6-8

Salsa Chicken

4 Chicken Breasts. If your me, they are usually still mostly frozen. This is because I'm random.
1 packet of taco seasoning or two tablespoons of the jarred variety. I use both. They both work.
1 jar of salsa. If you're us, it's a New Mexico variety. Pace works, though.
Tortillas. I like corn. Jeff likes flour. You could even go earthy and get whole grain.
Some non-stick something-or-the-other.
A Crock Pot.

Spray (or rub) the crock pot down with the non-stick something-or-the-other. Throw your still partially frozen chicken in. Or you could arrange it neatly at the bottom of the crock. Sprinkle your taco seasoning over the chicken. Pour the salsa in. If you're not happy with the liquid level (which is apparently very important when you're a crock pot cook) put about a quarter of a cup of water in. Turn it on low and walk away. If you're in a hurry turn it on high and stay a little closer. In my experience, I have no idea how long it's going to take to cook in your crock. I'm thinking you could also bake this in a casserole dish, covered with foil. When it's done, and this is the hardest part) take two forks and shred that stuff UP. It's just amazing this way. The juice and the chicken seem to meld together a little better this way. To serve, put it in a tortilla and go to town. This will serve roughly six adults.

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg Old El Paso taco seasoning
1 large jar medium salsa
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 bell peppers (red & green), julienned

Simmer while preparing vegetables. In saute pan, heat 1-2 Tbsps of olive oil. Add garlic, peppers, onion, salt and pepper. Saute to desired tenderness. Add vegetables to meat mixture and stir well.

Serve with: Soft tortillas and/or tortilla chips, refried beans, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, cheese, black olives and guacamole.

Enjoy!!

Taco Crescent Ring

2 packages crescent rolls
1 lb. ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
shredded lettuce
chopped tomatoes
green onions
1 cup sour cream
salsa

Brown ground beef in a skillet. Drain off the grease. Add the contents of the taco seasoning and follow package directions.

Unroll the 2 packages of crescent rolls. On a pizza pan or cookie sheet, place the crescent roll wedges in a circle, with the wide side of edge towards the middle, pointed edge towards the outside.

Add the cheese to the ground beef and stir it in. Place the ground beef on the crescent rolls. Then wrap the pointed edges around the meat mixture so that it forms a ring. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes (I usually make sure the middle is done)

Now you can put the lettuce in the middle, the tomatoes, green onions whatever you want. I usually just leave it like it is and have every thing sitting to the side.

Crockpot Nachos Supreme

1 brick o'velveeta cheese
1 lb taco meat (I use ground turkey), browned and seasoned with
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can Rotel (i use store brand)
1 can black beans (rinse very well)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk

Cube cheese into crock pot. Add meat, tomatoes, beans. Cover and let heat until cheese really starts to melt. Stir in sour cream and milk, stir thoroughly. After completely melted, add another splash of milk if necessary. This is enough for a large crowd (I take it to work and school quite frequently). The milk thins it out just a big, so it's not that super thick break the chip off burn to the side of the pot kind of Rotel. It also stretches it a bit further, as do the beans.
*Variation* If you are having a Halloween-themed food day at work, just add a few drops of food coloring until you get a grotesque shade of green, then put a sign on the crock pot calling it "Snot-chos," win the Golden Spoon Award for the day, become the stuff legends are made of.

1 tsp. of fresh grated parmesan cheese

Topping:
1 cup of boxed biscuit mix - (or substitute mashed pototatoes for topping)
1/2 cup of milk and
1 egg

1. Mix all the meat sauce ingredients to the browned and drained ground beef. Simmer.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Grate cheeses, I use my food processor to speed up the process.
4. Mix the topping ingredients in a 4 cup measuring cup until blended.
5. With a soup ladle, pour meat sauce into a 9-inch square baking dish. Top with cheese then pour biscuit mix over cheese.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. ENJOY!

Makes 6 servings.

Any cooked leftover meat can be stored in freezer bags and frozen for future use for pasta sauce, chili or lasagna.

Serve with side salad or cut up veggies with dip: sweet peppers any colour, cucumber, tomato, carrots or anything that may be in your fridge. The dip could be any cream based salad dressing or sour cream with 1/2 package of onion soup mix added and blended well.
