You will need cooked & cooled chopped chicken. Room temperature cream cheese and refrained beans. 2 small bowls, 1 large baking dish 13/9 is best. A dipping dish like one you would use for French toast. CLEAN HANDS.


Please read entire recipe first before you start any recipe.


Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs of cooked, cooled and chopped Chicken
1 can refried beans
1 lb cream cheese
1 package corn tortillas (flour tortilla works best)
2 jars of green salsa verde
1 lb cheddar cheese
green onion as desired.


ok… Let’s start..
Step 1. Pour 1 jar minus 3 TBSP green verde in shallow dish, pour the 3 TBSPs in the baking dish and spread out to cover bottom. You will now take a corn tortilla and coat it in the shallow dish with the verde sauce. Continue until the bottom of dish is covered with tortillas. Break tortillas in half to use to cover bottom of dish. Only have a single layer of tortillas. Don’t overlap them.
Step 2.  layer is the chicken and cheddar cheese. Place chicken to cover the bottom and put the cheddar on top of chicken.
Step 3. Layer tortillas again dipped in green verde and cover chicken.
Step 4. Put Cream cheese in bowl and mix with some salsa. Spread some cheese on top of cream cheese. Spread on top of tortillas until covered.
Step 5. (I know but it is worth it,I promise) place more dipped tortillas on top of cream cheese layer.
Step 6. Open cans of beans(regular works best) with some salsa and mix together in bowl. Spread this mixture on top of tortillas. Add cheese on top of this.
Step 7. Place more tortillas dipped in salsa and place on top of beans.
Step 8. Use the remaining tortillas to partially cover the beans or just place three on top dipped in salsa.
Step 9. Use green onion on top of tortillas if you desire.
You can use more or less cheese and salsa. This recipe comes out different every time I make it but it is always a hit. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes or until nice and bubbly. Cover with foil for 40 minutes. The last 20 minutes of bake time should be uncovered.

The Meat from Urban Farm

We have had this meat since January 9, 2016 and it does take getting used to. The chop meat is different but I am getting to like it. It is good in a sauce, tacos, meatballs, or chili. I have not had a burger with it yet because burgers are not my thing.The round steak was my favorite. It is tender and made awesome fajitas but i did not have tortillas I ate my over rice and beans with green salsa.  Oh man, it was good.  The beet stew meat is also good. I made it as beef stew. Good idea, right. It was. Beef stew over rice and served in a gravy, green peppers and onions. We are going to eat beef stew again tomorrow night and I will post how it is tomorrow. The short ribs we tough but it was our fault, we cooked it wrong. You read that correct, we did it wrong. Short ribs needs to cooked in a broth or gravy. We baked it in the over like ribs. Nope, can’t do that. Short ribs will be cooked differently next time.

Open Stuffed Cabbage

My husband wanted stuffed cabbage but I was not in the mode to boil cabbage leaves so I came up with this delightful dish. This was another smash hit.
Items neede:
Shallow baking dish
Fry pan
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs of cooked ground beef (we used fresh from Urban Farm in Crestview)
8 cabbage leaves
leftover sauce from previous chicken dish.
1 can of rotelle tomato mild
1 can tomato paste
1 TBSP Italian seasoning
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Lay 6 cabbage leaves up so you can fill them. Break up remaining leaves to over any cracks. Spoon the ground beef in to cover bottom. Next spoon tomato sauce over meat and add a slice of mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes pull dish out of cover to fold the cabbage leaves over the cheese. Now put back in over for 10 minutes.
