Easy Dinner Recipes

Since I've been sick since Sunday, I've been cooking easy meals. The less time on my feet, the better. I'll share them with you!

Easy Quesadillas

• 2 cups cooked boneless chicken (or you can use left over taco meat, shrimp, sausage... whatever meat you want) I use left over rotisserie chicken
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (or a Mexican or taco blend)
• Taco sauce (or salsa if you prefer chunks)
• 8 soft taco shells (or 4 burrito tortillas)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Put one shell down on baking sheet, spread sauce, chicken, and cheese over top. Top with a second shell.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through.

Let sit for a minute and cut into quarters. Serve with desired toppings (we use sour cream and taco sauce)

Slow-Cooked Vegetable Beef Soup

• 1 lb. beef cut into cubes (you can also use venison)
• 1 (15 oz.) can of tomato sauce (or use V-8 for extra flavor)
• 2 cans diced potatoes, drained
• 4-8 oz. frozen mixed vegetables (I use peas, corn, and green beans. Sometimes I find a bag with lima beans in it as well)
• 1-2 Tbsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt (depends on how spicy you want it)

Put beef, tomato sauce, and Lawry's Seasoned Salt into your crock pot. Cook on low for about 5 hours (or on high for 3 hours). Add drained potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook on high for another hour.

Serve with bread or rolls. Serves approximately 4-6 people.
