Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing (lumpyloohoo)

Take 3 or 4 chicken breasts. Put in buttered crockpot so surface is covered. Then cover the meat with 2 layers of swiss cheese.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 c. chicken broth, and a box of stuffing mix (just the bread and the seasoning packet). Mix all of this together well and pour evenly over the chicken. Finally, sprinkle with parm. cheese. I cooked it on high for 3 hours, never lifting the lid to peek. The chicken was not the least bit dried out or at all undone. This was the best chicken dish I've had in AGES!

Garlic Dijon "dump" Chicken---Freezer Recipe (marie)
2 Cloves Garlic -- minced
4 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
1 1/2 Pounds Chicken Pieces

For immediate cooking: Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place all ingredients into a
large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run
clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken
breasts).

For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag. Lay flat
in freezer.

To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make
sure the baggie is completely closed. Place the Bag on a shelf furthest
from the freezer (It works best if the bag is laying flat, although this
may not be the best option with a side-by-side fridge/freezer). Preheat the
oven to 350 F. Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and
bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30
minutes for chicken breasts).

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 soup can milk
1 can (6 ounces) chunk light tuna
1/2 package (1 pound) egg noodles, cooked and drained
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup crushed butter flavor crackers, optional.

1. In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine soup and milk; blend in tuna. Add noodles, peas, cheeses and pepper; mix to thoroughly combine. Top with crackers, if desired.

2. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed. Yield: 4 servings.

**(MikeyJrsMom) variation: It's really good, too, if you substituted cream of mushroom for the cream of chicken soup and use Ruffles potato chips in place of the crackers.

tacos with Bush's baked beans (saysayohplaymate)
I used the recipe on the can, but needed to change a bit b/c it was too spicy for the kiddos. I used a 48 oz. can of Bush's Baked Beans, 1.5lb cooked ground chuck, 1 packet of taco seasoning mix. Mix together in a large bowel, layer hamburger buns with taco mix, picante sauce, & your favorite cheese mix. Bake in the oven until the cheese is soft and the buns are a bit crisp. My kids tore these up! DH likes them better on soft shells. LEFTOVERS: Stuff taco mix into hollowed out green peppers, top with picante and cheese, bake until cheese melts and peppers are the consistancy you like.
