Tailgaiting

We faithfully attend the University of Louisvlle football games and I prepared this tasty dish when we stomped Cincinnati last week.

Philly Cheese Steak (It's Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby!)


Hoagie rolls-split, lightly toasted...you want them to still be soft

1/2 lb rib eye steak shaved (by your butcher) for each sandwich (I made 6 using 3 lbs)
Wet hands with olive oil and work the meat apart
add bout 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, heat, add meat and then
add a liberal sprinkling of Lawry's seasoned salt
a dusting of Lawry's Garlic powder
pan fry until no longer pink

sauteed peppers and onions (2 large onions and 1 bell pepper sliced, plus one clove of garlic)
I also add a hot pepper, diced
Sauteed in butter and a little olive oil

Saute mushrooms if desired (Butter and a little Worcester sauce)

Provolone cheese

Line each bun with a slice (or 2) of provolone cheese
Place a liberal helping of meat on each bun
top with sauteed vegetables and another slice of cheese

Wrap in foil for easy transport to the game
Place in a glass casserole with a warming element
Delicious!

The Versatile Chicken Breast

Since I haven't had time to post in awhile I thought I provide a few easy chicken recipes. Once you've made these you won't need a recipe, they are THAT easy

Crock Pot Chicken and Rice

enough frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts to feed your family

1 can cream of chicken condensed soup for every 6 breasts

1 container of sour cream for each can of soup

cumin, if desired to taste

Season with salt, pepper and cumin breasts to taste

place in crock pot on low setting

cover with soup

allow to cook all day

sauce may be thin so you can thicken with flour if necessary

add sour cream, stir to blend. Allow to warm as you prepare the rest of your meal

Serve over brown or white rice you prepared in the microwave. Served with a veggie or a salad

Make Extra, this is yummy!

Chicken Wallo

enough chicken tenders to serve your family

one egg, beaten

Italian flavored bread crumbs

olive and butter for sauteing

1/4 cup Italian dressing

Salt and pepper chicken tenders

dip in beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs

saute in butter with a little olive oil til nicely browned (do not need to be cooked thoroughly)

remove chicken and drain oil from pan

return tenders to the pan and add Italian dressing

allow to simmer until done

Serve with wild rice and a veggie. Easy and delicious

Chicken Wallo is great because it is tasty but you can make as much or as little as needed (just add more tenders and dressing). Kids love to take the leftover tenders in their lunch box

Skillet Cordon Bleu

Boneless chicken breasts, 1 per person, pounded until flat or use MARKET DAY Chicken Steaks

1 egg, beaten

Canadian bacon, thickly sliced and then cut into strips (I use 2 slices per every 3 breasts)

Swiss cheese slices

dip in egg, roll in bread crumbs

saute in olive oil until nicely browned and nearly done, with little pink remaining inside

Transfer to an oven safe baking dish

top with sliced Canadian Bacon and cheese

bake at 350 until done and cheese has melted

Outback Chicken
