Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown hamburger in a large skillet. Drain fat, then add tomato sauce. 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Stir, then simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.

Cook egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and cottage cheese. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add to noodles and stir. Add green onions and stir.

Make sure you add plenty of Ground Red Pepper...it makes it sooo much better! :)   ~Megan~

Sour Cream Enchiladas

I haven't actually tried this one, but my brother called and requested the recipe.  It is from a homemakers club that my mom belongs to.  They started a cookbook years ago & we all have a copy - they are getting worn out! I love the old collections put together - real home cookin'!

Soften tortillas in oiled frying pan.  Lay in cake pan.  Add to one tortilla, 2 teaspoons sauce, 1 teaspoon onion, 2 tablespoons cheese and 1 tablespoon cooked meat.  Roll tortilla and place on side in pan.  Fill pan in same manner.  Pour remaining sauce over entire pan.  Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 1/2 hour at 350.

Spanish Rice (Tomato Rice)

Wahoo! Food blog....this is gonna be good :)

I've been trying out random recipes

off of the internet so I can use my pantry more,
(plus I'm sick of everything else)

and I found this rice recipe I liked:

Spanish Rice

Yield: 3 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

Ingredients

• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1  cup  uncooked instant rice
• 1  cup  chopped onion
• 2/3  cup  diced green bell pepper
• 1/2  teaspoon  prepared mustard
• 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
• 1  (14.5-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
• 1  (5.5-ounce) can tomato juice

Preparation

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add rice, onion, and bell pepper; sauté 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Because I had so much, I've had to

eat it a few times.  So, I changed it up

a bit by adding chicken and olives.

It will just depend on what you like! :)

(P.S. it's basically tomatoes and rice

...but still really good)

Pulled Pork

My friend Brenda brought this by when I had surgery last year.  Mara & I especially loved it - & so easy!

Pulled Sweet Pork
from Brenda Tingey

Pork Roast (around 3 lbs.)
1 cup picante sauce
1 cup brown sugar

Slow cook the roast overnight.  In the morning, pull it apart and add the picante sauce and brown sugar.  Then put it back in the cooker and simmer for several more hours.  Done - yup it's that easy & that yummy!  You can serve it on a bun, or it tastes a lot like the Cafe Rio pork that we always get on the salad.

Walking Tacos

Just for Amy - and anyone else who is interested - Walking Tacos!!! We sell walking tacos at the school snack shack for fundraising. I'll give you a quick lesson. We use the small bags of doritos & cut the side open. Then crunch up the doritos in the bag:

Put taco meat right into the bag on top of the chips:

Some shredded cheese on top of the meat

lettuce on top of that

then Olives, onions (whatever you like on tacos)

Sour cream on top

And you have a walking taco. Use a plastic fork, and the dish duty is great - throw it all away. We have sold them at the football & basketball games for a long time. My sister-in-law decided they would be good for the family reunion and then we had them last Sunday at a family gathering. We have had them camping too. They work great for a crowd and the kids think it is fun! Enjoy!
