**Food Friday** This is How I Casse-role

By now you pretty much know I'm a third shift slave worker, which means I spend my days in bed and by the time I get up, Husband is coming home. Since our time together is limited, I've come to rely heavily on casseroles. This one in particular barely required any prep time, as I cook up a big batch of brown rice at the beginning of each week (for recipes such as this) and I had leftover rotisserie chicken. Really the most work I did was grating the cheese, perfect for waning midweek energy.





Mmmm cheese.



I've learned that casseroles are the perfect way to get Husband to eat his veggies. Still working on chunky tomatoes.

Tasted as good as it looks.

 Creamy Chicken Casserole

Printable Version
 

2 cups cooked chopped chicken

1 cup mixed veggies

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cream of mushroom soup

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 Tbl fresh parsley

**I used frozen veggies that I first heated in hot water before I added them in.**

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix chicken, veggies, 1/2 of the cheese, cream of mushroom soup, rice and parsley. Pour mixture into a 9x9 glass dish sprayed with Pam. Top with remainder of cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly.

In case you're wondering, this is one of those few dishes that had Husband going back for seconds. Further proof that cheese is a miracle food.

So what was worth going back for seconds at your house this week?

**Meatless Monday** Three Types of Cheese?! Yes please!

Every since I was little, I've been more of a vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, when I could eat red meat, I did my colon some hurtin'. Still, I prefer salad over steak and fruit over whatever the meat equivalent to fruit is. Then when you add cheese, make that 3 KINDS of cheese, well, that makes for one happy Undomestic Goddess.

I have to stop forgetting that my oven cooks way hotter than it should, but the golden brown bits did taste scrumptious.

Was thoroughly satisfied with this 3-Cheese Pasta Bake.

How about yourself? Do you prefer the meatless meals or is it bring on the beef??

*Meatless Monday* A Twist on Cheese Biscuits

I apologize in advance if this post isn't very cohesive but I'm adjusting to a new work schedule and just ate a quarter of a loaf of cheese biscuit bread by myself. This is also going to be a short post because if I sit in one place too long, I will fall asleep. For dinner today I made spaghetti and a loaf of this. Needs a little bit of tweaking but made good garlic bread.

Now this is one instance I can except cheesy goodness oozing out of my food.

So what did you make for dinner? An old standby?? Or something out of a the box?
