I am surprised more people have heard of this recipe.. It is an old pampered chef recipe that my mom made a lot! :)

DIRECTIONS:
PREHEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES. ADD CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, BELL PEPPER, GARLIC, AND CHEESE INTO A BOWL. MIX GENTLY. ADD MAYO, DILL AND SALT. MIX WELL. UNROLL 1 PACKAGE OF DOUGH. DO NOT SEPARATE. ARRANGE LONGEST SIDES OF DOUGH ACROSS WIDTH OF, ( I USUALLY USE MY STONE, BUT A COOKIE SHEET WORKS. ) REPEAT WITH REMAINING PACKAGE OF DOUGH. TAKE BOWL MIXTURE AND SCOOP IN THE CENTER OF CRESCENT DOUGH. ONCE THE MIXTURE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE DOUGH, WITH THE SIDES OF THE DOUGH OPEN, SLICE INTO STRIPS. TO BRAID, LIFT STRIPS OF DOUGH ACROSS MIXTURE TO THE CENTER, TWISTING EACH STRIP ONE TURN. CONTINUE ALTERNATING STRIPS TO FORM A BRAID. TUCK ENDS UNDER THE SEAL AT THE END OF THE BRAID. BRUSH EGG WHITE OVER DOUGH. SPRINKLE WITH ALMONDS. BAKE 25-28 MIN. UNTIL DEEP GOLDEN BROWN :)

I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE!

Sloppy Lasagna - Callie Christensen

I'm late, too! That's just how we roll...

Sloppy Lasagna

(sorry if you've seen this already; it's become popular on pinterest lately)

1 lb ground beef
1 pkg (12 oz) farfalle pasta (bowtie)
1 jar (26 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 T Olive Oil
1 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t Italian seasoning
1/2 c shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c sour cream (I ususally use light because we have it on hand. It's fine.)

Brown ground beef. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain cooked noodles, return to pot and drizzle with olive oil. Mix spaghetti sauce with noodles. Add browned beef, seasonings, cheese, and sour cream. Fold together over low heat until cheese is melted, about five or ten minutes.

This serves six and is so good and easy (about 20-30 min tops). I have dumped it in a disposable pan before and taken it in for neighbors with salad and bread. It worked great and they loved it, too!

Coke Roast - Rachael Coon

Sorry I'm late. I just got my internet back after being gone for a week! This is a super easy and different way to cook a roast. It is sweet and savory and has a favorite ingredient in it!!
Coke Roast
By Rachael Coon
This is the Roast you just can’t stop eating! It makes for great sandwiches the next day too!

Roast Beef (any cut and size works fine)
1 Cup Ketchup
1 Cup Coke (I use caffeine free)
1 Soup Onion mix

Season roast with salt and pepper and brown each side in a hot greased frying pan. Place in Crockpot. Mix all ingredients from above and poor over roast. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 10 hours. The meat will just fall apart and serve the sauce with it as sweet gravy

Chicken & Wild Rice Soup - Lindsay Eckersley

One of our favorites is Chicken and Wild Rice Soup- It's perfect for a snowy day!

CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP

Bring to a boil: 6 cups water
1 box wild rice (I use the 6 oz box of Uncle Ben's)
1 envelope chicken noodle soup mix

Once it has reached a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in: 1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
(You can add more or less of the veggies- I just estimated how much I use.)
Cover and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Stir in: 2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
Cook 10 minutes until tender.

We love this recipe and the leftovers are really yummy too!

    Swiss Chicken - Kodi Knudson

    Sorry me too! One of our favs is Swiss Chicken. It is so fast and easy and delicious!

    6-8 chicken breasts
    1 pkg sliced swiss cheese
    1 can cr of chicken soup
    1/2 to 3/4 container of sour cream
    1 cube butter
    1 box of chicken stove top stuffing

    Spread chicken on bottom of a 9x13 pan. Evenly put the cheese on each chicken breast. Mix soup and sour cream in a bowl and add a little milk so it's not too thick, but not very much. Pour over the chicken. Then put dry stuffing over the top. Slice the butter in small pieces and dot on top of stuffing. Cover with tinfoil and bake 350 for 45min-1hour. Enjoy!

    Lazy Stroganoff - Candice Mangum

    Sorry! I am a day late.
    Don't try and double this recipe. I did that once when I had to take a meal to a family. After I had delivered the meal, our family sat down to eat, it was way to salty. I was horrified.

    1 can cream of celery soup
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1/3 can water
    1-2 lbs. stew meat
    1/2 cup sour cream

    Combine all ingredients except sour cream. Place in baking dish. Cover and bake at 275 for 3-4 hours. Stir in sour cream before serving. Serve over rice or noodles.
