I forgot an ingredient...
I forgot to put the chicken into the recipe below. I'm also going to try it with ground beef and see how that turns out. Working on a Mexican Lasagna recipe right now. Hopefully that will appear here soon.

Mystery Taco casserole
Ok. So I don't exactly know what to call this recipe....it's got lots of stuff in it that sound strange but the whole family really liked it...even Jake and he is picky.
Ingredients:
1/2 -3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 small onion chopped. (Saute' these until onions are clear in a little water and then drain.)
In bowl: 1 small can cream of mushroom soup (can use low fat)
green pepper/onion mixture
1 cup salsa (your choice on "heat")
2 cups shredded chicken (or 1 can chunk chicken)
1 can whole kernal corn drained
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
After mixed add 1 package of taco shells broken up (the recipe called for small corn tortillas, but our store did not have any). I used the 12 portion hard taco shells and it worked fine, crumbled up into smaller pieces.
When wet mixture is done, put one layer of it in a greased casserole and sprinkle with 1/2 of an 8 oz bag of your favorite cheese. I used colby/jack but I'm sure it would be great with any cheese (pepper jack, cheddar, etc)
Repeat layers. Bake or microwave until cheese is bubbly. I think the oven temp is supposed to be 350, but I used the microwave for 12
minutes and it was great.
Serve warm.

Roman on the Radio
As you could tell from reading our other blog....
donaldsonfamily.blogspot.com
Will and I lost one of our greatest friends yesterday. It is truly a heavy blow to both of us. For the last two days I have been trying to wrap my head around it all. It's hard. My mind keeps straying to all the good times though and with John it usually involved food. He loved to eat. We spent many an hour talking about food and how to cook things. If we weren't talking about food we were talking while we ate food. We knew the art of lingering.... we could make a meal last a long time. By the time we were finished, we would almost be ready to start all over again. John was a great conversationalist, a great eater, a great man and one of the world's great "friends". In his honor here is one of the simple recipes that he would cook for us all as we sat around blabbing while he grilled. I'll miss you John...
Grilled chicken Roman's way.
(We usually used chicken breasts, but it works with any chicken parts).
Take raw chicken and wash it under cold water, then place it in a heavy ziplock bag. Pour in Zesty Italian Dressing (we used Kraft most of the time). Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours (up to 12 is the most I've tried).
Pull it out and grill it like you would any other chicken on the grill and enjoy. It's full of flavor and moist each and every time.
Please try it and then sit around and enjoy it while talking to friends and really, really take your time and enjoy each other. That's what John would have wanted you to do.
and Roman on the Radio I hope to see you on the "flip side".
