Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.





COLA CHICKEN





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


%26gt; %26gt; 1 cup catsup


%26gt; %26gt; 1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)


%26gt; %26gt;


Put chicken in a non-stick pan. Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce becomes


thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot


Wings';! Not tried this, yet.





I have used Ribs, just as good.





Fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe) but...I


added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo


Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it


was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN





1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions


4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves


1 egg, beaten





LIGHTLY CRUSH:





Onions in a plastic bag.





DIP:


Chicken in egg





COVER:


With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.





BAKE:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan.


Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired.


Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.














POOR MAN’S SWISS STEAK


Mix: 1 lb. hamburger


1 cup cornflakes


salt %26amp; pepper to taste


small amount dices onion


Spread in a square baking pan.

(combine together, first)


Pour over meat mixture.


Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.








CHILLI DOG CASSEROLE


1 pkg. (8) hot dog buns


1 pkg. (8) hot dogs (use more if you like)


1 can Chilli (15 oz. without beans, use more if you want)


1 small onion (chopped)


2 cups shredded cheese


mustard








DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat oven 350 degrees


In a 9'; x 13'; baking pan, break up hot dog buns (bite size) and spread in pan.


Cut up hot dogs (about 1/2'; size) spread over buns.


Spoon/spred chilli over hot dog/buns.


Sprinkle onions over all.


Squirt mustard over entire mixture (don't spread...just make a few lines both ways across mixture)


Cover with shredded cheese.


Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.


(Hint: If using extra hot dogs %26amp; chilli, don't add extra buns.)





POT ROAST


Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)


1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix


1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix


1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix


1 cup water


Put beef in pot.


Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.


Until meat is tender.


The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better.


If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.

Recipe name: Spaghetti Fra Diablo with Herbs





Recipe by: Chef John V., Good Cooking, Inc.








Serving size: 4





Recipe note: This is a Spicy Recipe!





Preparation time: 0:30

















Amount/Measure/Ingredient:





Fra Diablo Sauce





2 tbsp. olive oil, regular, not extra virgin


½ cup onions, minced fine


1 tbsp. garlic, minced


¼ cup carrots, shredded fine


½ tsp. marjoram


¼ tsp. black pepper, fresh ground


6 each fennel seeds, ground fine


1 tbsp. Kosher salt, (2 tsp. if regular table salt)


2 tsp. sugar


¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes---no seeds


1 can crushed plum tomatoes, 28 ounces


2 tbsp. tomato paste


¼ cup water





2 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil





Heat oil on medium heat in a heavy bottom pot, add onions and garlic and cook slowly with out browning for about 2 minutes until translucent, add carrots, marjoram, black pepper, fennel, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes, and stir in the tomatoes, paste and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook slowly on low heat for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and blend to puree the tomatoes with an immersion hand held blender---until slightly smooth but still with some visible pieces of tomato. (Don't puree until totally smooth!)





Add extra virgin olive oil, keep warm and don't re-boil.





Basil Puree





½ cup fresh basil leaves, packed into the measure


2 tbsp. olive oil, regular, not extra virgin


1 tbsp. cold water


½ tsp. Kosher salt





Puree all ingredients in a blender until very smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and keep at room temperature.


Spaghetti





Use your favorite brand and cook it to the doneness you prefer. If you want a special treat, then try Italian De Cecco brand spaghetti and cook it for 11 minutes (al dente) in boiling water salted to taste like ocean water---salty. Cook exactly 11 minutes and not the 12 suggested on the box. Drain immediately, return to the pot and toss with 3/4 cup of the Diablo sauce. Into 4 warm pasta bowls, divide this coated pasta equally and top each portion with 4 ounces of sauce. Drizzle on 2 teaspoons of the basil oil and sprinkle with grated Italian Parmigiano Reggiano cheese or your favorite grated cheese.





Garnish





Fresh basil, Italian parsley, marjoram, chives and a radicchio leaf, wrap into a bundle, slaice and chop all


together. Place a mound on top of each pasta portion, enjoy!
