~Chicken Enchilada Casserole~

~Chicken Enchilada Casserole~

Just to let anyone who ventures to read my blog- I like to cook. 

Most of the time....

When I'm hungry....

When I feel inspired....

When I get a hankering for something special...

Ok so most of the time I cheat and use Dream Dinners.

Then I can get Mr. Smith to cook too.

He just follows the instructions.

(Warning:Mr.Smith is DANGEROUS if left to create his own recipes).

Since I do the majority of the cooking-I have become the expert of creating with what I have on hand.  I know others are experts in this field as well.

Sorry for the photos-I decided to blog about this recipe after the casserole was 2/3rds consumed. 

This is what was for dinner last night, plus a can of refried beans and the last of the bottom of the bag of tortilla chips (Juanita's-they are simply the BEST).

I actually thought about this meal ahead of time by putting in  2 frozen chicken breasts in a crock pot earlier.

2 chicken breasts with the last of the box of chicken broth, a little garlic powder, chili powder and cumin. Oh and some water.

Once I got home from picking up Boy Wonder from Cross Country practice, I shredded up the chicken.

Preheated the oven to 350 degrees.

This is where it gets complicated folks....

I opened a can of cream of chicken soup, dumped it in a bowl, added sour cream, mixed it up and added water to get a sauce consistency.

No measuring cups were used in the making of this casserole.

I greased (sprayed Pam) on a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.

2 flour tortillas (I had to throw the corn tortillas away-they weren't looking too hot-that's how I ended up using flour tortillas) layered on the bottom of the pan, put some of my "sauce" on top, 1 shredded chicken spread around, and a healthy layer of shredded cheese.  Repeat step.  Top with 2 more flour tortillas, the last of the sauce and more shredded cheese.

 

Bake at 350 degrees till bubbly and the edges get crispy.  Maybe 30 minutes?

Serve with heated refried beans and tortilla chips.

Servings?  Have no idea....my 2 kids and I about polished off the entire pan ourselves.

My kids are just starting to eat casseroles so I was happy that they liked it so much!

Enjoy!

Loving Black & White!

Jar full of black and white dominoes found their way into my urn or as the kids call it "The Bird Bath".

A few years back I decided that I would only pick up black and white items for my house.

I am loving any type of game piece right now!  Dice, chess pieces, dominoes etc.

So much fun to fill up a jar or urn.

So instead of my black rocks for this time of year, I tried to think outside the box.

Boy Wonder helped with the drawing of the giveaway and the winner is...

Autumn Arrived Early at My Booth!

Making the transition from summer to fall at my booth.

Loaded up the car this morning and headed over to Oregon St. Antiques Mall.

Added cobwebs, ravens, spiders, and leaves.

Plus brought in a car load of items from the Open House!

Oh yes, did you notice the natural light and the wall?

I moved the other week to a different booth upstairs.

Same size of space as before but with 2 walls and a window!

I have PACKED this booth! 

I'm sooo not a professional photographer~plus doesn't help that I've dropped my little camera a few times.

Shh don't tell Mr. Smith-that will be our little secret!

 

I'm off to take Drama Queen to visit great grandma and watch the animal show at her assisted living apartments!

Successful Open House!

The Open House went well yesterday!

Now I'm in the process of getting my house changed from a "shop" back to a "home".

Deciding what to take to Oregon Street Antiques Mall tomorrow and what I will save for the Roses and Rust Barn sale in October.

Car is packed and I'll be heading to Oregon St. Antiques Mall tomorrow to change my booth from summer to fall!

As a side note: I mentioned something about a giveaway for my 100th post-which I conveniently forgot about since I was getting ready for the open house.

From my Etsy Shop-to celebrate 100th post and 100 followers I'm giving away a bottle cap pendant and tea towel.

Just leave a comment letting me know which bottle cap pendant and tea towel you would like if you win!

Nothing fancy I know but quite honestly I am TIRED and it's all my little brain could think up for now!

Oh yeah I just about forgot....I'll announce the winner on Saturday, September 18th.....
