Chicken'n Dumplings

Makes 4-6 servings

2 cups cooked chicken (we shredded ours)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 soup cans water
4 tsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)

Mix all ingredients, except biscuits in a crock pot.
Cut biscuits into quarters and gently stir into mixture. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours


This was a super easy meal that Jacob made for us the other nights. I think that it need some carrots or celery in it, so if anyone tried to cook some veggies with it...please let me know how it turns out. We can't wait to eat this again.

White Bean Chicken Chili

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Great Northern Beans, undrained
2 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken (or turkey)
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup salsa (I use Pace Chunky Mild, less spice for the kids!)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remainder of the ingredients, except the mozzarella cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup comes to a simmer. Add the mozzarella cheese one handful at a time, stirring to let each addition melt before adding the next. Stir to combine and make sure all the cheese has melted and serve.

Jacob and I really enjoyed this. When we ate it, we crumpled up a few tortilla chips and put them on top. It was very delicious and we can't wait to eat it again.

Mexican Delight (Taco Soup)

We found this recipe in a ward cookbook. We were both hesitant to make it because of all the tomatoes in it. (We don't like tomatoes.) After it all was done, we both agreed that there was not a strong tomato taste and we really want it again.

1 lb hamburger, brown with
1 onion chopped

Add:
1 (15oz.) can tomato sauce
3 cans water
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. salt
1 small can tomato paste
2 TBSP sugar
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin seed
1/2 c. rice
1 c. corn, drained (optional- I added this just for a little more texture and sweetness)

Bring to boil and simmer on low until rice is done. Put in individual bowls and add toppings of choice--tortilla chips, chopped onions, grated cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced onlives, chopped tomatoes, avocado, sour cream. (Serves 6)
