Hamloaf
Seriously the easiest thing ever. I love Fareway’s hamloaf. I normally do 2lbs. All you do is put the hamloaf in a glass bread pan pretty much, and layer the top with your favorite BBQ sauce. Place in the oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour per pound. That’s it! Slice it up and serve it.

“Mac & Cheese with Meat in it”
It’s as simple as it sounds. Literally a pound of ground beef cooked, and then 2-3 boxes of Mac & Cheese made per box instructions. Mix it all together and you have yourself Mac & Cheese with meat in it. Literally the MOST requested meal and I am not even kidding. It’s one of those meals I make when it’s late and need something quick! Hands down so yummy!

Pull Apart Pizza
This was a new recipe I tried and WOW, it was absolutely delicious! You can easily doctor it up if you would like, but honestly I didn’t think it really needed it. Just remember your pepperoni! I had it all made put it in the oven, and looked at my counter at the pepperoni I never touched. I pulled it out and just placed them on top.

Homemade Nacho Cheese
I have been always trying to find the perfect Nacho cheese dip. We have Taco John’s where I am from and they have the best cheese for oleys. I am hoping this easy recipe is close enough to it!

Baked Goulash
Ingredients
1lb ground beef
2/3 Cup chopped onion
Pepper to taste
2 t minced garlic

Once combined add the noodles to the mixture. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray. Dump mixture into the pan, and add the mozzarella cheese on top. Place in the oven for 30 minutes and once it’s done let it rest for five minutes before eating.

Chicken Enchiladas

Chicken Breast-2 to 3 large cans (It is by the tuna cans at the store) You could also buy chicken breast from the meat counter and boil/shred your own.  Cans are faster…

1 package shredded cheddar cheese

1 8 oz. container of sour cream

1 can of cream of chicken soup

1 can of green chiles (They are in small cans near the Mexican food)

1 pkg. of medium flour tortillas…I like the extra soft ones.

Any additional toppings for when done baking:  tomatoes, onions, olives, cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drain your chicken.  In a bowl, mix together your chicken, 1 container of sour cream, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, and can of green chiles.  Add some cheese (I just guess)…Maybe half of a bag or less…It’s up to you.  I sprinkle in a LITTLE bit of chili powder and pepper to taste.

Next spray a 9 x 13 Pyrex dish with cooking spray.  Warm up your flour tortillas in the microwave so they are warm and bend easily.  Use a paper plate to lay your tortillas on and spoon in the chicken filling (from above) You can kind of guess how much filling to put in each one.  You’ll want to save some to put over top when done rolling.  Roll them up and put the seam side DOWN in your Pyrex dish.  They should be touching and you may need to squish them together in order to make them all fit.

If you have leftover chicken filling, I like to pour it over top of the enchiladas.  Cover with aluminum foil and put them in the oven for about 30 minutes.  You can take them out a few minutes before/after and add more shredded cheese on top.  Put them back in the oven until the cheese has melted.  You’ll be able to tell when they are done, because the filling kind of “melts.”
