Tuna Tetrazzini

Here is one of our new favorites. I enjoy cooking it with my young kids. It's a great one for them to mix together, because none of these ingredients are a danger problem when raw.

Tuna Tetrazzini

8 ounces of egg noodles
2 six-ounce cans white tuna (drained)
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup (hang onto the can, you will need it to measure some milk)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 can milk (put milk in previously emptied soup can to measure half a can)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Cook egg noodles according to package directions (usually 10-12 minutes) and drain. Combine remaining ingredients together with the noodles and pour into greased baking dish. Top casserole with shredded cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Chicken & Biscuits

Here is a recipe from Kraft that I can't wait to try. I'm excited to have some recipes that use ingredients that I have around the house for a change! Keep in mind that the recipe calls for certain brand names, and of course it would be okay to use a different brand of sour cream, for example...I left the brand names in, because it's the least I can do to thank Kraft foods for the nice recipe -- but you can use any brand you want of course, really!

Chicken & Biscuits
Prep: 15 min
Total time: 50 min
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:
1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup Breakstone or Knudsen Sour Cream, divided
2 cups chopped cooked chicken**
1 pkg (16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup Kraft shredded mild cheddar cheese
1 cup baking mix
3 Tbsp milk

Heat oven to 375.
Mix soup and 1/2 cup sour cream in 8 -inch square baking dish. Add chicken, vegetables, and cheese; mix.

Place baking mix in medium bowl. Add remaining 1/4 cup sour cream and milk; stir until stiff dough forms.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls into 6 mounds over chicken mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and chicken mixture is hot and bubbly.

**My tip: If you would like to make this REALLY easy on yourself, you could shred a rotisserie chicken for this, or you could cook a chicken in a crock pot all day.
