HOTDISH (TATER TOT CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the beef to the onions and cook until the meat is brown, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the yummy brown bits, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the beef and onion mixture from the skillet into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scatter the green beans and corn evenly on top. Spread the cream of mushroom soup over top and top with frozen potato tots. Bake uncovered for 1 hour; the potato tots should be golden brown. Serve.

JENN'S HOT MESS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to package directions.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the canola oil over Med/High heat.
• Add the chicken and sprinkle with garlic powder and seasoned salt, to taste. Saute until no longer pink.
• Add mushrooms and saute for another minute or two. Remove from heat and drain.
• In a large bowl, mix rice, chicken and mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, corn, kidney beans and ONLY 1 c of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
• Transfer the concoction to a casserole dish and sprinkle remaining cup of cheese on top.
• Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until heated through.
• Note: I usually switch the ingredients up every time I make it but I always use things that are on the "healthy" side so I have something quick to just throw in the microwave at lunch time. It's also a cost effective alternative to lunch meats and microwavable frozen lunches. This recipe is just an idea for you to use to create a healthy meal for yourself.
