2 Quick Meals using Pre-cooked Chicken Fajita Meat

#1 Chicken Fajitas
2 pkg. John Soules Chicken Breast Fajitas/fully cooked (I found them at Walmart)
2 bellpeppers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil
shredded cheese
guacamole
diced tomatoes
salsa
sour cream
In a large skillet, add canola oil, peppers & onions. Cover with a lid and saute' on medium heat until the veggies are tender and browning a little. Add the chicken breast fajita meat and stir together. Cover with a lid and simmer until the chicken is hot. Serve with flour tortillas, shredded cheese, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, salsa & chips.

#2 Chicken Fajita Quesadillas
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded monterjack cheese
leftover chicken fajita mixture
flour tortillas
warm up your leftover chicken fajitas and remove from heat. Add cheeses. Stir until blended. Lay out your tortillas and add some of your chicken mixture evenly. Lay another tortilla on top. In a non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking spray, place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and allow to cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese is melted through.
Serve as is or with salsa, chips, guacamole, queso, sour cream, etc.

Smoked Sausage Egg Scramble

1 pkg. smoked sausage (your choice) diced
1 dozen large eggs
1/2 pkg. shredded cheese (I like colby/monterey jack blend)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
salt & pepper

In a large non-stick skillet, brown the smoked sausage and remove from pan and drain juices. Add the sausage back to the skillet, then add onion, eggs, salt & pepper.
Stir the egg mixture well and slowly cook until the eggs are done. Remove from heat and add cheese.

Serve with toast & hashbrowns, or it also makes a great breakfast sandwich, one of my favorites.

Pepper Steak

This is a family favorite!!

1 bag of pre-cooked steak strips (I get mine at Walmart in their freezer section)

2 bellpeppers cut in strips

1 large onion cut in strips

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 bottle Kikkoman Sweet & Sour sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce

rice

In a large saute' pan, add just enough butter to saute', add garlic, peppers and onions, half the jar of sweet & sour sauce and soy sauce. Saute' until tender, then add steak strips. Cook about 10 minutes or until the steak is heated through. Serve over cooked rice.

Cheesy Chicken & Dorito Casserole

1 family size bag of nacho cheese doritoes
2-3 packages of pre-cooked chunked chicken (or you can cook a whole chicken and remove the bones and cut into chunks. I prefer to use the pre-cooked chicken because it saves time.)
1 can rotel
1 can cream mushroom soup
1 can cream chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 bag cheddar shredded cheese

In a 13x9 pan, layer doritoes until the bottom of the pan is completely covered.
Top with chicken. In a bowl, combine rotel, soups & broth. Pour evenly over chicken. Top with cheddar cheese and bake at 350 until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. Serve with a salad or chips & dip.

(The picture is before the casserole is baked.)

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Combine the following ingredients in your crock pot.

4-5 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks.
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 small bag of baby carrots
2 pounds stew meat

Mix together, then in another bowl, take 1 pkg. stew seasoning mix and following directions. Pour the seasoning mix over the meat & veggies in your crock pot and stir. Cook on high for 4-5 hours and reduce to low heat for another 2-3 hours or until veggies are fork tender and meat is done.
Serve with crackers or cornbread.

Tip for using leftovers... "Easy Shepherds Pie" pour your stew leftovers into a glass baking dish. Prepare mashed potatoes however you like yours. Pour the mashed potatoes on top of the stew and spread evenly. Bake in the oven on 350 until potatoes are browned and dish is hot and bubbly.

Easy Good Snack Mix

1 box Kashi granola
1 pkg. m&m's
1 can mixed nuts
1 pkg. nut clusters(usually found by the canned nuts)
1 pkg. banana chips
1 pkg. cheerios (any flavor is fine, but we like honey nut)
1 cup pretzel sticks

Mix together in a bowl and pour into a large ziploc bag. Great snack!
