Anywho, I'm here to thrill you with this weeks recipe and it's a good one! I've had this week's recipe in my recipe folder for over a year now and I finally wanted to give it a shot. Not sure what took me so long. Maybe it was my lack of experience in the food world, the fact I burned easy mac so the thought of me actually making a meal scared the hell out of me (haha), or maybe it was I didn't have a blog like this at that time which is hella cool either way it was time to bring it out into the daylight. This week our food for thought comes to us from the Campbell's kitchen. Ah, yes Campbell's. That nifty company who always has soup available when you get bitten by the cold bug. Well hopefully everyone is feeling just fine and this week we'll use Campbell's for something a tad different. So grab your pen and paper cause away we GO!
Quick & Easy Dinner Nachos Supreme
Source: Campbell's Kitchen
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
1 pound ground beef
1 package (about 1 ounce) taco seasoning mix or burrito seasoning mix
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice
Pace® Chunky Salsa
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce
Tortilla chips
*Cook the beef and taco seasoning in a 10-inch skillet until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
*Stir the soup, water and rice in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the rice is tender.
*Top with the salsa, cheese and lettuce. Serve with the tortilla chips for dipping.
So how did this one stack up? It was fabulous but I did have one tiny problemo with it. My tortilla chips weren't packing the muscle punch to hold this heavy goodness. So that little tid bit down below about stronger tortilla chips? That was me, haha. I love this dish. I'd say it's a keeper. :D.
Tid Bits:
*As always substitute your beef for turkey.
*We doubled ours tonight so if you need to feed an army try mixing it up and going with one pound of turkey and one pound of beef.
*If you're using burrito seasoning (if you don't like it on the spicy side) use half of the seasoning pack if you're not doubling it. If you're doubling the recipe use a whole packet.
*This dish is on the heavier side so make sure you buy really strong and delish tortilla chips.
Ma's Spot: I really enjoyed tonight's dish. It was simple and easy to make but a little bit spicy for me. When I make this dish again I will hold back on the spices. I think I'll try this in like a casserole form. Add some Cilantro maybe some kidney beans. As always I encourage you to tweak it and make it your own. Next week is my pick and I'm going to make some chicken that Dinah Jane loved when she was little.
Aw, time for the blog to sign off for another week. No tears, we'll be back next week. Same time, same channel. What's in store next week? You heard the lady in her spot really good chicken that yours truly loved as a tiny tot. Don't miss it! Have a great week guys!
