Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steaks
Always gather all ingredients before starting! Below is a list of the ingredients you will need:
*1.5 lbs beef round steak
*1 green pepper thinly sliced (you could always use more peppers or even types just depending on how much you want in the recipe. The more the further it will go)
*1 medium onion thinly sliced (same as above, could use more)
*1 envelope Italian dressing
*1 14oz can of beef broth
*Pack of hoagie buns
*Sliced provolone cheese for topping sandwich (& whatever else you would like to add for toppings)
Spray crock pot for nonstick spray. Cut meat into thin strips, once finished put meat in the slow cooker. Add thin cut onions and peppers, beef broth, and dressing mix. Cook on low:7-8 hrs OR high:3-4 hours. This recipe made about 5 sandwiches for me. You can use whatever sauce you like, I used A1 and it was pretty good!
Nacho Chicken Bake
Always gather all ingredients before starting! Below is a list of the ingredients you will need:
*4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
*1 packet taco seasoning
*1/2 cup thick & chunky salsa
*1/4 cup sour cream
*1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
I also used shredded Mexican cheese to top this. You can add whatever other toppings you like (ex: black olives, diced onions, sliced jalapeno).
Before starting you want to preheat your oven to 400*. Place chicken on a foil covered pan. Slice each breast three times and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Next you are going to top each breast with even amounts of salsa, sour cream,& tortilla chips (as well as other toppings you desire). Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes. I serve this main dish with a side of mexican rice & beans!
One Pan Italian Chicken Bake
*4-6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
*5-6 new potatoes cut into fours
*Green beans (I used a family sized del monte canned, drained)
*1 packet italian dressing
*1 stick melted butter
*Salt & pepper to taste
*Garlic salt & onion pepper to taste
First preheat your oven to 350*. Next put your potatoes in a strainer and run them under cold water to rinse them. After you have rinsed them cut them into fours. Arrange the chicken breasts in the middle of a 9x13 dish, place cut potatoes on one side & drained green beans on the other. Sprinkle with packet of italian dressing, salt and pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Top with stick of melted butter. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. I got this recipe from pinterest. The person who I wrote it down also said you could use fresh green beans (did not say amount though) or any other green veggie you would like. Like I said I used the family size canned green beans!
