My 3 FAVORITE Recipes!!

Okay so growing up, my mom was known for 3 things: Her chili, her chicken enchiladas, and MOST importantly her corn chowder. Mmmmmmmm....I could literally live off of her corn chowder. It is TO DIE FOR! I thought I would share the recipes so everyone could enjoy them!


Chicken Enchiladas
(Feeds about 4 people usually)

The ingredients you'll need are:

• 4-5 pieces, Boneless, skinless chicken
• 2 large cans of Campbell's cream of chicken
• 1 jar of Pace's salsa
• 2 cans of diced green chilies
• 1 medium container of sour cream
• 2 cans of enchilada sauce
• Lots of shredded/grated cheese
• About 10 or so LARGE tortillas (depending on how many you're feeding)

First step is to boil chicken pieces whole, until cooked all the way through. Then cut the chicken into small/shredded pieces. Mix chicken, cream of chicken, sour cream, salsa, and green chilies into a large tupperware bowl. I usually make each enchilada separately. I lay out the tortilla, put about 2 tablespoons of of enchilada sauce on the tortilla, then about 2 largish spoonfuls of the already-made batter, then put a handful of cheese on top. When it comes to folding the tortilla, I'm not going to try and explain how I do it so you can just get creative. You might find you want to mix the recipe up or whatnot so that's perfectly okay, as well. You lay all the folded enchiladas on a greased pan/bakeware. Once laid out, I spread the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the enchiladas (my sister likes to put cheese on top, as well). You put them in the oven and cook them at 375 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes. They should be a just a little crispy when done, but not brown/black...because that means they've burned. Let 'em cool an enjoy!



Homemade Chili
(Feeds A LOT of people, so you can just cut everything in half if you need to)

Ingredients include:

• 5 cans of dark kidney beans
• 2 cans of black beans
• 5 cans of diced tomatoes
• 2 cans of unsweetened corn
• 3 cans of tomato sauce
• 2-3 packets of chili seasoning
• 2 lbs. of hamburger
• 1 diced onion

First step is to fry up the hamburger and when the hamburger is getting close to being done, add a diced onion and fry until done. Put the hamburger & onion into a large pot, then add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn (make sure you drain the juice out of all of the cans), and then add the tomato sauce, stir it all up well then add in the chili seasoning. Cook on medium to high heat until hot. Make sure you stir every so often so that the chili doesn't burn and stick to the bottom of the pot. Serve up and enjoy!




Corn Chowder
(Serves a bunch of people)

Ingredients include:

• 1 package bacon
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 thing of green onions, chopped
• 2 cans of corn
• 1 1/2 boxes of Swanson's chicken broth
• 1 carton of Land O Lakes Half and Half
• About 7 potatoes

First off, fry up bacon until crispy-ish. Be sure to add the diced onion when the bacon is getting close to done and fry it up together. Then dump it into a large pot; add diced potatoes, chicken broth, and half N half. Let it boil for a while, enough for the potatoes to soften up a bit. Then add the chopped green onions, diced bell pepper, and corn (be sure to drain the corn). Add some salt and pepper (but not very much). Let it boil until the potatoes are completely done and then enjoy!!
