1 pkg. Frozen Tator Tots
1 Cup Shredded Cheese
Brown ground beef with onion (& salt & pepper to taste).

Place frozen tator tots in bottom of greased 9x13 pan. Top with beef/soup mixture. Top with shredded cheese.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Pretty yummy & kids will love it!! VERY kid friendly!!
**I got this recipe first from an old church cook book & back when I only had 2 babies & they were little little, they LOVED this!! The first recipe I got did not have the green beans in it. Then I got the other recipe from my friend Lori Williams in Colorado. She calls it the "Full Meal Deal" & her recipe calls for green beans too! It's great & yet another one that sneaks in veggies! Not exactly one I'd make for company but I usually have all the stuff laying around the house & kids eat it! Can't ask for more!!
Enjoy!!

(I've heard them called many things!)
Unroll Crescent Rolls
"Smoosh" perforated edge together to make a rectangle.
Add a heaping spoonful of chicken/cheese mix ture.
Pinch corners together to make "pillow".
Take "pillow" & dip into melted margarine.
Then dip into bread crumbs.
Line up on cookie sheet.
Serve with your favorite veggies & everyone will enjoy.
I make a chicken gravy to pour over the top of the pillows.
Do you remember "Mikey Likes it!!" Well, this is our Mikey. She likes next to nothing, but when it comes to Chicken Pillows, she is all over them!! Guaranteed to be a family favorite!!
BEST EVER, Chicken Pillows
Kate Alger
2 Chicken Breasts, cooked & cubed
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Tbls. Margarine
2 Tbls. Onion
small handful of mushrooms, sliced
2 Tbls. Milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Cube Margarine
2 Cups Italian Bread Crumbs
4 Pkgs. Crescent Rolls
Cook chicken & cut into bite size pieces. Melt 2 Tbls. of margarine in saucepan. Saute onion in margarine & add mushrooms. When cooked thru add cream cheese, milk, salt & pepper; add chicken.
Melt Cube of Margarine in bowl, set aside.
Pour Bread crumbs into another bowl.
Build "pillows" as illustrated above. Roll out crescent rolls, form into rectangles, add a "dolop" of chicken/cheese mix, pinch all corners together to make Pillows. Roll into margarine, & then dip into bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet.
Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Make a chicken gravy & pour over top & serve.
**So, serious when I say CROWD PLEASER! We call them Chicken Pillows. The first recipe I got for these was way back before I was even married & it called for crushed stovetop instead of bread crumbs. Different taste, but still yummy. And, that recipe called them Chicken Crescent Rolls. (I'm sure most of you have seen this recipe or one similar, I see one similar in almost every church cookbook I look thru) I always double this because they make such fabulous leftovers! I know some people or recipes do a diluted cream of chicken soup mixture as the gravy. You can do that with a can of cream of chicken soup & 3/4 of a cup of milk. I like doing a chicken gravy instead. Either canned or a gravy mix packet. They are a little labor instensive. I like to do the chicken in the crockpot (I do all my chicken in the crockpot) & if you make the filling ahead of time & put it in the fridge it's much easier to work with. (My sister in law Kim gave me that tip!) So so yummy!!!! Enjoy!!

Crock Pot
Cran-Apple Pork & Sweet Potatoes
Kami Alger
- Layer Crock-Pot with the following:
1 Cup Apple Sauce
2 T Brown Sugar or Honey
2 Large Sweet Potatoes - peeled & sliced
2 - 2.5 lbs. Pork Chops or Loins
salt & pepper
1 can Whole Cranberry Sauce
Crock Pot on low for 7-9 or high for 5-6 hours. Yum!
Crock-Pot Shredded Chicken
Janie
Make it into Burritos, Tacos, & Tortilla Soup.
Put about 8 boneless/skinless chicken breasts in your crockpot with 1 jar of salsa, 1 onion chopped, 1 can diced green tomatoes, 1 small can diced green chilies, & 1 can chicken broth. (If you're in a hurry, just add chicken & salsa- you can add the other stuff later when you make the soup) Cook about 5 hours on high. When done remove chicken from pot & shred with two forks.
Tortilla Soup:
Put one or two breasts worth back into the pot with the soupy stuff & freeze in a gallon ziploc. (lay zip loc flat, so it will thaw faster) or a large glad ware container. Take out to thaw the night before you plan to serve it.
When you're ready to have tortilla soup just add 1 can corn, 1 can pinto beans, & 1 can black beans. Serve with Tortilla Chips & grated cheese.
*Janie adds extra to make it stretch for her big family. She adds a can of refried beans, another can of tomatoes & chicken broth. She said with all the extras it's enough for 2 meals for her family of 8.
Chicken Tacos:
For tacos just us the shredded meat in taco shells, instead of ground beef. Then decorate with cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc. Make burritos with any leftover meat & freeze them for later!
Chicken Burritos:
Take 1 large tortilla, add refried beans (she warms a large can with about 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup grated cheese, & 1/4 cup salsa) shredded chicken, & grated cheese. Then roll them, & wrap them in tin foil, stick them in a freezer ziploc & freeze. When you're ready to serve, unwrap & microwave for 1 minute, turn over, & warm 1 minute more. Of course you can have them fresh too & just make up your leftovers for the freezer.
*So, for 3 or 4 pounds of chicken breasts & a little work, you've made at least 3 meals!!! Yum!
