A quick and easy hotdish recipe

1 pkg of ground turkey

2 small onions

1 box of Uncle Bens rice (whatever flavor you like)

1 1/2 cups of chicken broth

1 can of cream of celery soup

1 box of stuffing mix (whatever brand you like)

Butter as directed on rice and stuffing

Brown ground turkey with chopped onions.

Add box of rice mix and seasoning.

Add chicken broth and stir until blended. 

Add butter and the can of cream of celery soup.  Stir until sauce thickens.  Don’t cook the rice to much or it will get soggy.

Poor mixture into a glass cake pan or casarole.

Prepare the stuffing as directed on the box.

Sprinkle the stuffing on top of the hotdish mixture.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.  Rice will firm and stuffing will be a little crunchy. 

Toss a garden salad with your favorite dressing and dinner is done! 

I made it tonight and it was delightful!  Everyone ate and no one complained!

Finally…A Hit!

I have attempted to make meals that are not boring and not the same every week.  I have been told by Ben and Mitch to stick to the old favs – cause they aren’ t much for experimenting – they like what they like.  But I get bored very easily and I don’t want to eat the same thing every week. 

I finally tried something different that was a real home-run! 

I had some hamburger buns left over in the fridge, so I took them out, cut them in half, slathered butter on the top and popped them int he over to broil for two minutes.  I fried some hamburger with chili seasoning.  Added the hamburger to the bun topped with shredded cheese and broiled for another 2 minutes.  Both of them loved it and expressed thanks more than once.  This morning Mitch said I should really make that again. 

So I guess I won’t stop cooking for the two picky-butts:-)
