Firecracker Casserole

Very Popular and Delicious!

Firecracker Casserole!

Made it with ground deer meat (can be beef) Cook/brown the meat and mixed in with 1 taco seasoning mix, 1 can of rotel, one can of black beans (drained), 1/2 cup of frozen corn, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, mix well. Then put a layer of tortilla chips at the bottom of your bean pot, and layer with meat mixture then sprinkle with shreded cheese and contnue layering until you end up with meat mixture on top. Cover with more cheese, put bean pot with lid on in microwave and cook for 13 minutes. Let stand for a couple of minutes and serve with a dollop of sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes and extra tortilla chips. Very good and even better as leftovers if you have any left over to save!  

Easy Easy Easy Chops

1 package of butterfly chops, 1/2 package of ranch seasoning mix, and 1/2 can of cream of chicken soup. Mix soup with seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water. Whisk together, set aside and slice butterfly chops in half then dredge in the soup seasoning mixture and place in your bean pot. Add the rest of the mix, then put the lid on and cook in the microwave for about 15 minutes ( it really depends on the thickness of your chops. Thinner chops will take less time so adjust cooking time based on thickness.) We had this with seasoned green beans and roasted potatoes , but would be great with mashed potatoes.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

4 bell peppers - slice the tops off and remove the seeds. 

Chop up 1/2 cup of purple onion, the good part of the bell pepper tops,

Rotisserie Chicken

Who loves Rotisserie Chicken? If you love tender moist falling off the bone chicken this dish is for you! You will need 1 chicken (this one is about 4lbs), 1 can of low sodium Chicken broth, seasoning, and your bean ...pot. Rinse your completely thawed chicken, remove insides and place in your bean pot, sprinkle the chicken with your favorite seasoning. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken place lid on and microwave for about 30 minutes. Yes I did say microwave. After 30 minutes remove and I use a meat thermometer and check to see that the chicken is at 165 degrees. If not pop it back in for a couple of minutes until temp is 165 degrees. Oh this is so moist and tender. We serve it with some seasoned green beans, a tossed salad qnd a roll. Enjoy! But don't throw that great seasoned broth out. Let it cool and ck back tomorrow on how to use this broth, leftover chicken pieces and some items from the pantry for the best tasting home made chicken soup!

Pie Crust Chicken Pot Pie

First step is to mix together 1 large can of chicken breast (drained) with one can of cream of chicken soup and 1 bag of frozen vegetables. Now you can also use a can of mixed vegetables if you like. I did all the mixing right in the bean pot, which cuts down on dishes used! Next I put the lid on and microwaved for 10 minutes since the veggies were frozen. If you use canned vegetables you can cut the time down to 6 minutes. Turn your oven on to 385 degrees and let it preheat. Next I mix the pie crust up based on pkg. instructions. Roll it out to the shape of your bean pot. Remove bean pot from microwave and remove lid. Place the crust on top of chicken mixture. Before putting into the oven, lightly top crust with melted butter and place in oven for about 15-20 minutes, just long enough to brown the crust. ( do not put the lid on) Remove when its browned to your taste and enjoy.

Pink Lemonade Cake

Prepare vanilla cake mix per box instructions. Pour batter into your bean pot. Next drop spoonfuls of icing on top of cake mix. Do not stir. Place lid on and microwave for 13 minutes. Remove lid and scoop out the cake along with the tart goodness top with whip cream! A taste of summer on a cold winter day:)

Gumbo

1 box of gumbo mix

1 box of dirty rice mix

1can of cooked chicken breast drained and broken up

1 lb. chopped smoked sausage and

1 lb of already cooked shrimp (we buy it frozen and just remove tails). 

In your bean pot add 6 ½ cups of water and contents of both boxes. Whisk together till well blended. Next add chicken and smoked sausage. Place lid on and microwave for 15 minutes. Remove and stir again, then put lid on and microwave again for another 15 minutes. Remove and stir in shrimp place lid on and let set for 3 minutes. This is a thicker gumbo, almost like a stew. 

Serve with some fresh made cornbread made while your gumbo is cooking. Important Tip: This makes more than the two of us can eat, so I freeze a portion of it to have when I don’t want to Cook. So before you freeze a portion, remove the shrimp. Shrimp reheated are ok but just not at their best, so scoop those up and enjoy before freezing. You can always throw in some when you reheat.
