Oodles of Noodles

This recipe is my mother-in-laws. I love it but my husband refuses to eat it since he recently realized it contained Creamed Corn. Don't let that scare you off though, it's time to put that forgotten can of cream corn in the back of the pantry to use.

Ingredients

• 1 Box Rotini Noodles
• 3 Cans Creamed Corn
• 3 Tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 2 Cans Rotel
• 16 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Brown and drain meat and return to skillet; add corn, Rotel, and chili powder
• Cook mixture over medium heat about 20 to 25 minutes
• Prepare noodles according to package directions
• Place noodles in a 13" x 9" casserole dish (The Pampered Chef "Rectangular Baker" works perfect here)
• Pour the mixture over the noodles and cover with cheese
• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes

Tara's Sidenote (Just imagine this is me, whispering over your shoulder in the kitchen, creepy huh? lol jk) Most people prefer to serve this dish with some tortilla chips

Broccoli Casserole

This recipe comes from my momma and it is my favorite recipe ever!

Ingredients

• 2 Bags of Frozen Broccoli (little pieces, not big ones)
• 1/2 Block Velveeta Cheese
• 1/2 Cup Milk
• 1 Cup Breadcrumbs

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Boil broccoli according to package directions and set aside (yep, your house will definitely stink like broccoli)
• Cut Velveeta into small cubes and put into microwave-safe bowl with milk
• Microwave for 1 minute and stir. Continue this step until cheese is melted and liquidy
• Place broccoli in a 13" x 9" greased casserole dish and pour cheese mixture over it (I use The Pampered Chef "Rectangular Baker")
• Gently mix; then add breadcrumbs and mix
• Cover and cook for 45 minutes
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with a handful of breadcrumbs and return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes

Tara's Sidenote * If the mixture seems to runny after the first cup of breadcrumbs then continue to add more breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
