Crockpot Chicken And Wild Rice Casserole

A tasty crockpot meal that I can throw together with just a few items in my pantry and off I go.  This is a combination of wild rice soup and chicken and rice casserole.  I used frozen chicken for this recipe but you can always use left over chicken.  Also, make sure you use long cooking rice or you will have a mushy mess!



Ingredients

1 medium onion chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 10 ounce cans low sodium cream of chicken soup
1 10 ounce can low sodium cream of mushroom soup
2 cups milk
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 cups wild rice (not the fast cooking)
1 lb chicken breast (I use frozen)
1 cup Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Throw everything into the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for about 4 hours. 
Easy Easy!!

Beef Stroganoff

Not the best picture I've ever taken but between homework and rushing out the door for practice I was unable to take the time to snap a great shot.  It's that time again, when the weather is supposed to turn nice and the kids activities go into full gear.  Well okay,  it's still snowing outside but the kids sports have started and I am back to making dinner before practice.  This is actually quick and easy, plus is a good meal to reheat after we get home.



Ingredients
1 1/2 lb beef sirloin steak or fajita style beef
 2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion chopped
1 garlic clove
1 1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
3 cups egg noodles cooked
Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet; add onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender; remove from skillet.

Salt and pepper your beef, add to the same skillet. Brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer. Cover and cook for another 15 minutes.

Whisk remaining broth and flour together; add to the beef mixture. Add onion mixture and bring to a boil; continually stirring until mixture thickens, about a minute.  Turn the heat off and stir in the sour cream.  Serve over noodles!
