Chili Bean Enchilada Casserole

Well, this is recipe seems really bad for you, but it serves 4 and actually only has 360 calories per serving. That's pretty darn good! I, of course, made my mine with a vegetarian chili and added some kidney beans to it for extra protein, but you can just use a regular can of chili con carne.

There's only a few ingredients in this recipe and it's definitely bachelor approved.

Preheat oven to 425. I'm making mine in 2 mini casserole dishes so I cut the tortillas to fit in each one better.

Spread some enchilada sauce in the bottom of your dish and brush onto the sides.

Put in 1 layer of tortillas and top with ingredients of your choice. (You're going to do multiple layers so you don't have to put 1 of everything on each layer if you don't want to.)

Add another layer of tortillas and top with more enchilada sauce.

Top again with your choice of ingredients.

Repeat again with the tortilla, enchilada sauce, and more ingredients.

Top with final layer of tortilla, enchilada sauce, and cover with cheese. Spray foil with cooking spray before covering so it doesn't stick to the cheese when baking.

 

 

Bake at 425 covered for 20 minutes. Then remove foil.

Put back in the over and continue baking until fully heated through and browned. While the casserole finishes cooking, chop up whatever toppings you would like. I chose avocado and cilantro.

Let it cool for a few minutes, plate, garnish, and ENJOY!

Cauliflower Casserole

Here's a cute recipe for cauliflower that my mom used to make for us. It's not THAT healthy, I can admit, but it's a cheesy creamy way to get non-vegetable lovers on board.

First, preheat your over to 375 degrees.

Steam the cauliflower. Remember, it's going in the oven, so don't over cook it.

While the cauliflower is steaming add some mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl.

Stir thoroughly and to taste.

Place steamed cauliflower in a casserole dish (or two mini ones!)

Spread mayo/mustard mixture lightly and evenly over the top.

Top with sliced cheddar cheese.

Bake, uncovered, until cheese melts and just starts to brown.

SERVE!

Grandma's Scalloped Potatoes

Well, if anyone knows me, they know I worship the potato. I think it's the purest vegetable to ever grow from the ground and I love that there's nothing you can't do with it. I feel like Forest Gump talking about shrimp... You can hash it, mash it, bake it, brown it, fry it, or make it into soup, breads, or salads. WOW!

Sometimes we over complicate our foods and my grandma always made really simple (BUT DELICIOUS) recipes. As with any recipe from a grandma, it's not really a recipe. I've tried to put exact measurements, but honestly it's a little different every time because you sort of add as you go.

I added a couple of my own ingredients to this to really make it my own. Hope you enjoy these delicious and homemade scalloped potatoes! MMMMMM

The Unhealthiest Potato Casserole in the whole world!

Actually, I hate this recipe. I hate it because everyone LOVES it. I hate it because I made two -from scratch- recipes (Plus this one) and all people could talk about was this stupidly delicious potato casserole. I hate it because you gain 10 pounds just from looking at it. I hate it because it's cheap and easy and seems like a cheater recipe. I hate it because people request I make it every time I'm supposed to make something.

Make it and tell me if you hate it too!

A recipe in pictures.

In a big bowl, mix:

1 thing of sour cream:

1 thing of Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 stick of melted butter

1 packet of ranch dressing

1/2 packet of Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Stir all those thoroughly together and then add:

1 package of frozen shredded hash browns

 Put in a big casserole dish, cover with remaining cheddar cheese, and cover with foil. Bake for at least 30 minutes at 400. Remove foil and finish crisping up the top for at least 15 additional minutes.

I don't have a picture of the final product because as soon as I set this sucker down, it's GONE!

That's it folks.

ENJOY!
