A little something tasty for dinner...

Well, I'm back, got kind of busy for a while there.... who has time to blog anyway?  Oh, wait, I do!  Now that all of my kiddos are in school, I am finding myself with extra time.  I have recently become obsessed with Pinterest... LOVE IT!  And that reminded me of my blog that I had dropped a year or so ago.  I thought, I can do that!  Instead of just repinning other people's pins, I started pinning things I found outside of Pinterest, and then I thought, why don't I start back my blog, and pin my own stuff?  So, I am starting with a recipe that I fixed for dinner tonight.

So good, my kiddos love it, even the picky one!  It's kind of a cross between chili and that Dorito casserole I've seen around, and it is very forgiving.  I've never made it exactly the same twice, I use whatever is around.

Tonight I started with taco flavored ground turkey.  We like the turkey meat, you can't really taste the difference between it and hamburger because of all the flavor from the other stuff, and it's cheaper.  Cook the meat in a large pot, this way you only have to use two pans for cooking. 

 

 

Cook rice in a separate pan.  I prepared 1 1/2 cups (uncooked) rice.  While rice cooks, add one can of beans to the meat.  Tonight I used a can of pork and beans, because that was all I had.  You can use chili beans, red beans, black beans, etc. 

I also added some chili, because we had some left over from chili dogs.  I have used in the past diced tomatoes and that worked nicely also.



When the rice gets through cooking add that to the pan also.  Mix everything together well.

Then add cheese and smashed up Doritos on top!  I only have a picture of the cheese, my Doritos picture did not come out (and we already ate, so I can't take another one!)

Enjoy!!
