Recipes!

Over the past few months Pat and I have been trying all sorts of different recipes and these are the two that we enjoy the most so far. That is apart from the ol' stand by's like potato soup, tacos, Parmesan chicken.

Taco Casserole  

1 lb. ground beef

1 can creamed corn

1 can pinto beans

8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

Tortilla chips

Brown ground beef. Add creamed corn and pinto beans (with juice) then mix together.

In a glass baking dish spread the tortilla chips over then bottom then spread the beef mixture over. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Cover the top with cheese and place back into the oven until melted. We love to eat it with sour cream.

BHG's Garden Spaghetti

8 oz. spaghetti 

2 cups small broccoli florets

2 cups fresh, canned, or frozen corn

1 cup chopped carrots

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 cucumber, chopped (optional)

2 tbsp oregano or basil

1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel

2 tbsp lemon juice

2-3 tbsp olive oil

Tomato or pasta sauce optional

Cook spaghetti with 1 tsp of salt added to water. Add broccoli, corn and carrots the last 3 minutes of pasta cooking time. Drain. Return pasta mixture to pan. Toss in tomatoes, cucumber, oregano, lemon peel, lemon juice, and enough olive oil to lightly coat ingredients. Makes 6 servings.
