2 pie crusts
1 lb hamburger
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can refried beans
2 cups shredded cheese
salsa
*Roll out pie crust into two - 9" pie plates. Prick with a fork and bake at 425 for 10 minutes.
*Spread refried beans across bottom of pie (if you heat them for 1-2 minutes in the microwave they'll spread easier).
*Brown hamburger and mix in taco seasoning. Spread on top of beans.
* Dob sour cream across top of meat.
*Top with cheese & salsa. (I used a mild salsa and it just gave it a nice tomato and onion flavor.)
Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes.

Shortcakes (from diabetic cook book)
I've been trying some recipes from a diabetic cook book - just to be healthier and I've found a few good ones. This was an excellent dessert!
(They want you to drain the yogurt through a sieve for 30 minutes, I didn't, the sauce is just a little runny, but not bad.)
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 1/2 Tb sugar
Cut in 1/2 cub butter until mixture is crumbly.
Add 2 tsp vanilla
1 cup yogurt (any flavor to match your fruit)
Mix until dry ingredients are wet. Knead on a floured surface 8X.
Roll 1/2 inch thick & cut into circles 2 1/2 -3 " ( I used a wide mouth jar lid)
Bake 425 for 12 minutes.
Fruit:
4 cups fruit (I used peaches and strawberries)
2 tsp sugar
Topping:
2 cups yogurt
2 Tb sugar
3 Tb jam (not sure you really need this)
Cut biscut in half, bottom layer, fruit, topping, top of biscuit.

Orange Rice
This sounded like it could be too strong of a flavor, but it turned out great with the Almond crusted Tilapia.
Definitely a keeper for serving with any kind of fish!
2 cups orange juice
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups rice
After the rice is cooked (I used a rice cooker), mix in 1 can (drained) of mandarin oranges and serve.

Beef Tip Gravy
I'm always looking for recipes to use Stew meat in. This recipe called for 90 mins of simmering, I did simmered about 10-15 mins on the stove and the meat turned out great. (A steak texture rather than falling apart stew meat.) So, take your pick according to how much time you have. If I were to actually simmer the 90 mins. I'd change this to a crockpot recipe and let it sit at low for a few hours.
1/2 onion chopped
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
2 Tb oil
Cook about 3-5 minutes, until meat is browned and oinions are translucent.
2 cups water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
Bring to a boil and simmer. (90 mins= stew meat, 10-15 mins = steak)
Combine :
1 cup water & 1 packet dry brown gravy mix.
Add into the meat mixture. Bring to a boil until slightly thickened.
I served it over potatoes that had been cubed, boiled, and slightly mashed with a fork.
Great hometown meal!

BBQ Chicken Pizza (French Bread)
I found a new bread at Walmart - the Italian Loaf. It's shorter and wider than a regular loaf of French bread and worked perfect for this.
1 Italian Loaf
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup red onion
BBQ sauce
2 cups Mozarella cheese
2 chicken breasts. Sliced thin - about the size of a domino.
Cook chicken and towards the end add 1/4 cup of diced red onion. Cook together just long enough to soften the onion a little.
Cut Italian Loaf in half (top and bottom). Spread chicken and onion across.
Drizzle your favorite BBQ sauce over - don't get it too thick.
Top with Mozarella cheese and bake in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes.
I'm positive it's healthier than regular pizza!

White Chicken Chili
With snow storms approaching, it's time for a good winter dish!
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 Tb oil
Cook until tender.
4 cups chicken broth
2 cans (white, pinto, or northern) beans (not rinsed helps it thicken)
2 Tb fresh cilantro or parsley
1 Tb lime juice
1 tsp cumin
Bring to a boil and simmer 10 mins.
2 Tb cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Mix until smooth and stir into chili.
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
Bring to a boil, cook & stir 2 minutes or until thickend.
I also added 1/2 tsp coriander & 1 tsp chili powder.
I never really got it to thicken, but it has a good flavor served with some wheat toast! One bowl will fill you up!

Chicken Popovers
1 tube of crescent rolls
1 cup chopped chicken, cooked
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1 Tb onion
4 oz. cream cheese
Mix chicken, lemon pepper, onion & cream cheese. Put a little scoop (1TB) in each crescent roll. Fold over dough and seal. Bake @ 375 for 15-20 minutes.
Chicken Gravy:
2 cups water & 2 tsp chicken bullion - bring to a boil.
Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup. Mix until smooth.
(The gravy seemed runny and kind of odd but tasted pretty good with the popovers.)
