RockCrock Tuna Noodle Casserole

I am trying out my RockCrock and LOVING IT!!!  Tonight I made a Tuna Noodle Casserole b

INGREDIENTS:

1- TBS Butter or Olive Oil

2- Cloves of Garlic

2- Cups Spinach

1- Container of Mushrooms

1- Large Can of Mushroom Soup (28 oz)

1- Cup Plain Greek Yogurt

3- Cups Twisted Noodles (cooked but with a bite)

2- Sleeves Ritz Crackers or a cup of Butter

1-TBS Butter

Boil your pasta in the RockCrock. Cook your pasta just to a bite, about 7 mins depending on pasta. 

Drain pasta & rinse in COLD water!  Leave in strainer. 

Heat oven to 400*

Return RC to the stove top.  Melt your 1st TBS of butter.  Using a bamboo spoon mix around.  Add the garlic with the Garlic Press. Sauté for 1 min. Add the mushrooms and toss for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and toss around. Sprinkle some salt and toss again, cover for 4 minutes.  Stir up. 

Add the soup, Greek Yogurt and tuna. Chop the tuna up with the Mix 'N Chop, making sure the tuna is broken up. 

Stir well. Add the pasta and toss again. 

Bake in preheated oven for 30 mins. 

While that cooks, put the ritz crackers into the MFP and turn them into bread crumbs. In the 8" skillet, melt the butter on med-low. Add the crackers and toss for 3-4 minutes. 

After the casserole is done, remove and top with crackers. Bake for 5 more mins. 

Remove from oven and let cool 5 mins. 

Scoop and enjoy!

Grinchmas Dinner Celebration

I've been DYING to do this dinner!  It was a big day for Ant, so I decided it called for a celebration. 

A Grinchmas Dinner!  Complete with Roast Beast, Who-Hash, Green Beans Fit For A Queen, Who Pudding and Frinch Punch

Here are the recipes!

Roast Beast

Simple Chuch Roast (my favorite). I put mine into my Pampered Chef Roasting Pan on the stove top. I covered it in Kosher Salt and Pepper. Seared it up then threw it into a 325* oven for 4 hours-ish. 

Green Bean Fit For A Queen

The easiest recipe for this is on the French's Fried Onion container. I believe it is:

1- 10.5 oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup

2/3 Cup Milk

2- Cans of French Cut Green Beans, drained

1- Can French's Fried Onions 

Pepper

Mix all ingredients but 2/3 cup of onions together. 

Bake at 350* for 35 mins. Add remaining onions and bake 5 more minutes. 

Who-Hash

1- Bag of Frozen Shredded Hash Browns

1- 10.5 oz can of Cream of Mushroom

1 Cup of Sour Cream

2- Cups Cheese

Bread Crumbs

1/4 onion

Salt & Pepper

Mix the potatoes, soup & sour cream together. Chop up onion in Manual Food Processor, add to potatoes. Mix in seasonings and cheese. 

Top with bread crumbs. 

Cover and bake at 350* for 40 mins. 

Grinch Punch

Brace yourselves for this one. It's ridiculously easy!!!

1- Tub of Lime Sorbet

1- Bottle Lemon-Lime Soda

Scoop all the ice cream into Trifle Bowl, pour in soda. 

Hard, I know!

Who- Pudding

I'm just going to link up. Simply because I think that it is AWESOME that there is a link to Suess Ville with this recipe!

Chicken Enchilada Soup

I've been cleaning out my cupboards and frozen left overs. I can get mighty creative!  Last night I came up with Chicken Enchilada Soup. Here's the recipe:

3 Cups Chicken Stock (Whenever I bake chicken, I drain the juice and freeze it)

2 Cups Veggie Stock (I always have this in the freezer. I keep all of my odds & ends of veggies, toss them into freezer bags and freeze until I have about 3 bags. I then boil them up, strain them and freeze the broth)

1 Large Can of Green Enchilada Sauce 

1 Large Can of Pinto Beans, drained & rinsed

4 Bell Peppers, diced small

1/2 Bag of Sliced Carrots

2 Cups Leftover, Chopped Up Chicken

Grated Cheddarella

Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Add all of the liquids together in the pot.  Add the veggies and chicken. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer just until the veggies are tender. Add salt to your taste. Serve and top with cheese. 

I made cheese quesadillas to go with the soup. 

Enjoy!

*picture isn't the greatest because I asked my daughter to take it. Sorry!*
