TOSSED SALAD

Easy Chicken Stroganoff Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons butter
1 lb. chicken breast, cut in strips
2 cups mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
4 cups egg noodles
Directions:
1. Cook chicken in 1 Tablespoon butter. Remove.
2. Cook mushrooms and onions in remaining butter.
3. Stir in soup and sour cream. Heat until boiling.
4. Return chicken to the pan. Heat thoroughly.
5. Serve over noodles, with a tossed salad and buttered Italian bread.

I used olive oil instead of butter, but otherwise followed the recipe.  I haven't seen cream of chicken soup here so I used cream of mushroom instead!  Very good, very easy and leftovers are for dinner tomorrow!!!! This recipe comes from www.momswhothink.com

Pizza Casserole

This recipe comes from: http://www.momendeavors.com/2012/01/pizza-casserole.html

Ingre­di­ents:
1 — 2 jars red pasta sauce (just depend­ing on how “saucy” you like it)
1 box penne pasta (cooked & drained)
2 — 3 Cups moz­zarella cheese
1/2 C shred­ded Parme­san cheese
Pizza Top­pings of your choice (we used pep­per­o­nis & black olives–about 30 pep­per­o­nis and 1 can of olives)
Direc­tions:
1. Spread a thin layer of sauce along the bot­tom of a pan (might be ben­e­fi­cial to spray with cook­ing spray first)
2. Place 1/2 the pasta noo­dles on top of the sauce.
3. Arrange half of your pizza top­pings on top of the noo­dles (for us, that was olives & pepperonis).
4. Top that layer with moz­zarella. I used a lit­tle less than half so that the top would be a lit­tle more cheesy!
5. Con­tinue lay­er­ing with the other half of the ingre­di­ents. Top the whole thing with the remain­ing moz­zarella & sprin­kle with shred­ded Parme­san cheese.

6. Bake at 350 for 30–45 min­utes (until the cheese is bub­bly & the top layer starts brown­ing just a bit). You can cover with foil for the first part & then uncover. Though the last time I made this, I skipped the foil and it came out just fine.

I used sausage and mushroom as my toppings for this pizza!  It was really good, I decided though next time I will try to use pizza sauce instead of pasta sauce or 1/2 and 1/2 to make it taste a little more pizza like!! Other wise this was super easy and gets a thumbs up from everyone in our house!!
