Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Where have those dang Howe girls been? Well, let's see.... We have been

*Camping

*Swimming

*Splash Padding

*Shopping

*Lounging

*Eating

*FaceTiming

*Etc...

Basically, we have been doing nearly everything we can before 3 of the 4 of us head back to school aka work and the other one sends her cutie off to 1st grade! We have, however, also borrowed a few recipes off good ol' Pinterest! Now it's time to share a recent one that we really liked! This little beauty came from Six Sisters Stuff. I'm pretty sure we've used their recipes before. All the credit goes to those ladies, but in case you are unfamiliar with their blog we are sharing their recipe over here.

You will need:

1 box of chicken flavored stuffing

1 small can  of Cream of Chicken Soup (Campbell's will always rank #1 in my book!)

1 Tbs. Dijon Mustard
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces

3 C. fresh broccoli florets
2 C. cooked, chopped ham (I actually used lunch meat that I chopped up)
6 slices of Swiss cheese

**Preheat oven to 375ºF.  

**Prepare stuffing as directed on package.  

**Mix soup and mustard in medium bowl then stir in the chicken, the broccoli, and the ham. 

**Pour/spread into 2-qt. (square) casserole dish sprayed with Pam top with cheese slices and stuffing.  **Cover with tinfoil and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.

ham & cheese sliders

oh man. the holidays brought some good food. i found this recipe on pinterest, and an appetizer party at my in-laws' was the perfect place to take them. yu-um. even the next day, after a little re-heating in the oven, they were delish. we ate them as an appetizer, but eat a few with some salad and you'd have a meal. i will probably be making these for dinner soon. my husband was a serious fan!

the recipe came from this blog 

ingredients:

12 dinner rolls (i used the costco ones from the bakery)

12 slices ham

12 slices provolone cheese

sauce:

i cube butter-melted

1 tbsp. poppy seeds

1.5 tbsp. mustard

1 tbsp. minced onion

make sandwiches and place in a baking dish. mix together sauce ingredients, pour over sandwiches, and bake at 350* for 15ish minutes. serve warm.

Nicki Specials

Back in the day the Howe sisters worked in a yummy little sandwich shop in Manti called Club Savoy. Man did we have some fun times there! Sadly, Club (as we called it) is no longer there but it lives on in our hearts every time one of us makes this yummy sandwich. I created it one night due to boredom and hunger. OK, mostly hunger. It became known as a Nicki Special and we still love it.

(This is just for one)

Deli bun

mayo

2-3 slices ham luncheon meat

5-6 sliced mushrooms

slice cheese of your choice

(I love swiss or provolone, but anything works)

1/2 an avocado, sliced

Sautee' the shrooms in a little butter until soft and brown. Scooch them over in the pan and add the ham--you just want to warm it up a bit. Scoop the shrooms onto the ham and lay the cheese over and let it melt!! Dump the whole thing onto the bun that you have spread with mayo. (Let me just say here that at Club we had a grill and I liked to toast the bun, but I only do that at home if I am feeling especially ambitious.) Spread the sliced avocado on top of the melted cheese and put the bun top on. Now I need to have one of these because my mouth is watering! Enjoy!

Breakfast Casserole

I got this recipe from my old neighbor, Kristen. She is a great cook, and I always love getting new recipes from her. This one is super simple and doesn't involve overnight refrigeration like most breakfast casseroles. We made it for the Howe family over Christmas and they all loved it, even the kids (which says a lot considering our group).

Not the best picture ever. If you haven't noticed, we are here on howetocook are amateur photographers.

Ingredients

15 eggs

1 C. milk

1 C. sour cream
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 C. ham or sausage (I buy the packaged, diced ham, and 1 package is the perfect amount)
1 green pepper (optional)
1 pkg. fresh mushrooms (optional)

Whisk eggs, add milk, and whisk again. Add other ingredients. Melt 3 Tbsp. butter ina 9X13 pan. Add egg mixture to pan. Bake at 350* for 45-50 minutes. Knife will come out clean.

I half this recipe and make it in a 8X8 pan for my little family, and it is plenty.

Mmmm. Now I'm wishing I'd made this for breakfast. Instead, I have these in the oven. Still yummy!
