Enchiladas

 Enchiladas.... they're so good, easy and makes plenty for company or leftovers! I use boneless chicken breast about 3 half breasts. I put into a pot with about a cup of water and boil until cooked. I then remove the chicken and shred, return to pan. I melt some cream cheese in the pan about a half of brick.

 once melted I add a jar of salsa verde (green salsa) and some shredded cheese. I add a can of green chiles and chop up some cilantro.
I let cool a little..... just makes it a little easier to fill the shells if it's not scalding hot! At this point, you can preheat the oven to 350. I use soft corn shells. Fill, roll and place in a baking dish.
Once they're all stuffed, I use canned enchilada sauce and spread evenly.

Cover with shredded cheese. Use what you want. Cheddar, Monterey Jack. I use a bagged blend, just makes the process quicker.
 Place in the oven and bake about 20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly but not brown. So good!

Shepard's Pie

OK so, maybe it doesn't look that delectable but it WAS! Very tasty, and perfect winter comfort food! I cut up potatoes and put them in water to boil to make the mashed potatoes. In the meantime I browned up about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef. Added onion celery and carrots, a cup of water, and 2 beef bullion cubes. I also added some frozen corn. You can add peas as well. I cut up 2 springs of Rosemary and some fresh Thyme added to the meat mixture. I then added a packet of brown gravy and a little bit more water and let simmer. Oh and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 375. While that was simmering I drained and mashed up the potatoes. Adding milk, butter, and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Put the meat mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish and then spread the mashed potatoes gently on top. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until bubbly. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top bake an addition 5 minutes. Serve!

Empanadas

Empanadas...they're delicious and the kids love them!! I never have leftovers when making these. If I have some they disappear before morning. You can put different fillings in, I made beef this time. I first browned up hamburger meat 1.5 lbs, I diced up an onion and put that in and then I added a can of green chiles. Now you can add peas, which I like but the boys aren't super fans of peas in general. I add pepper and the key ingredient: Goya Adobo. It's a Hispanic all purpose seasoning which is fabulous! I use it in a variety of dishes and always have it on hand. I add some cilantro. I also added some cheese not a lot about 3/4 cup. You can add it individually when filling the empanadas or not add cheese at all up to you. I used Monterey Jack but a white cheese is what you use when making cheese empanadas.   I actually let the meat mixture cool down before filling them. it makes it easier to stuff the empanadas because the dough gets soft and then br...
