Three Great Recipes

***Note to self: I am cheap so normally I buy store brand. With 3 kids our grocery bill is HUGE. BUT, last time I made meatloaf, I had to get Campbell's tomato soup because they were out of the store brand, I did not realize how thick Campbell's soup is compared to the store brand which is 99% colored water!!! It worked SO much better and kept the meatloaf from being too soggy!! And considering that I got that recipe from the Campbell's website, I guess that is a good thing!

Our internet is having troubles, I killed the laptop and the desktop internet is SOOO slow so I am going to do 3 recipes today since I am behind. I found a new one for meatloaf, which incidently used to take me FOREVER to make and cook, but we had it for dinner Wednesday night and there was NONE left!

Best Ever Meatloaf

2 lbs ground beef
1 can tomato soup
1 packet onion soup mix
1/2 cup bread crumbs (or I use Stuffing mix)
1 egg
1/4 cup water

Mix all ingredients, place in large loaf pan or baking dish.
Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes at 450.
I did have to drain mine at the end, but it was delicious!

One Dish Chicken and Rice Bake

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

In a baking dish mix xoup, water, rice, paprika and pepper. Place chicken on rice mixture. Sprinkle with additional paprika and pepper. Cover and bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

Easy Chicken Parmesan

1 large jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (it depends on what is on sale for me)
6 tbs parmesan cheese
6 small boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Pour sauce into baking dish. Stir in 4 tbs of parmesan cheese. Add chicken. Turn chicken over to coat both sides with sauce. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until done. Uncover and topw ith mozzarella cheese and remaining parmesan cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is tender. I serve mine with spaghetti.

Cathy makes hers on the stove top, but I like to throw stuff in the oven when I get home!!!
