Chicken Enchiladas


The other night I made this for dinner. I have been buying rotisserie chickens from Fry's or Costco and pulling the chicken off and shredding it to add to my chicken dishes. My family loves it! So for this dish the key was that I bought a Southwest Flavor Rotisserie Chicken from Fry's.
Ingredients:
Rotisserie Chicken
Flour Tortillas
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can Herdez Green Salsa Verde (this is a new staple in my house....I love it and use it on anything I can find)
How To Make:
Shred chicken and lay on flour tortilla. Sprinkle on some cheese. Roll up and place in 9x13 dish. Put as many as you want in your 9x13. Mix together some Sour Cream, Cream of Chicken Soup and can of Salsa Verde. Spread this mixture on top of the rolled up tortillas and then sprinkle on more shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Hadit Foo Bitsley

For us haditfoobitsley was the food of the Gods growing up.. Mum made it when she was in a dinner crunch.... and the smell of it is divine. But the taste is so impressive. I'm not sure where this recipe originated. I believe the beloved Geri Kofoed named it though.... Kids love it. Moms like to make it cuz it's easy and dad loves to eat it cuz it's OOOHHHHH SOOOO GOOD!!!
Ingredients:
6-8 red potatoes (washed skins on... bake until done... then sliced thick)
1 white onion
1 pkg bacon (cooked crispy)
salt and pepper
How to make:
cook bacon in pan. (Drain most of the grease... but save some for cooking the potatoes in.) Set aside bacon for later.
Cook sliced white onion in saved bacon grease. When translucent add potatoes (sliced 1/4" thick).
salt and pepper to taste.
When potatoes and onion are cooked add the crispy bacon to top and 1/4 C water to pan. Cover and let simmer for about 5-10 min. Stir occasionally.
