Onion Crusted Chicken
Haven't served this to a child or adult who didn't LOVE it!
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4 - 6 (depends on size chicken)
3 - 4 Boneless Chicken breast halves
1/2 cup+ Dijon Mustard
1 - 2 Lg. Cans French's Dried Onions, crumbled
Preheat oven to 350 F
I filet the chicken breasts to 1/4" or so slices (cooks faster and easier to cut for the kids).
Then, put the mustard and the onions into SEPARATE bowls.
Keeping one hand wet & one dry...
Coat the chicken in the mustard, then coat both sides with the onions. Lay on a cookie sheet. BAKE for 20 - 25 minutes @ 350 F.
Serve with Green Bean Casserole, potatoes of choice, and Cranberry Sauce!

Even though Kim hates casseroles, I think he would like this one. My son calls it "That stuff Nanny makes".

In a large bowl combine
1 can of corned beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup and about 1/2 bag of precooked egg noodles. Mix well. Pour all into a greased casserole dish and bake until bubbly. I add grated cheddar cheese to the top, but this is optional. I also noticed your Baked chicken with Broccoli recipe, I add rice to the same recipe. It's real good. One more quick recipe that my son loves (he's 10).

Noodle and Cheese
(basic macaroni and cheese dish made with egg noodles)

1 bag wide egg noodles
1/2 block medium cheddar cheese-cubed or monterey jack for variety
1/2 block sharp cheddar cheese-cubed
1/2 cup milk
1/2 stick butter or margarine
Precook the egg noodles and begin layering in the casserole dish. Noodles first them a layer of both cheeses and slice of butter, noodles, cheese, butter, etc. Add milk over the top and bake at 350 for approx. 25 minutes. I sometimes stir every 10 minutes to keep everything moist. Top will begin to brown when done. Enjoy, really easy with a somewhat different taste.

Steve's Totally Gay Barbecue Chicken Wings
Submitted by: Steve Swonder, Minneapolis

Everyone who's ever tried this recipe liked it - so far.
They're messy but they're good enough to be worth it.
3 to 5 pounds of chicken wings
1 12oz can of Classic Coca-Cola
1 12oz bottle of Catsup or Ketchup
(never did figure that out)
Preheat oven to 425.
Place wings in a roasting pan that has been treated with a light coating of cooking spray.
Roast COVERED for 45 minutes at 425.
While wings are roasting, mix catsup and Coke in a medium mixing bowl until well blended.
Remove wings from oven and drain off fat carefully.
Spoon catsup Coke mixture over wings until completely covered.
Return wings to oven and bake UNCOVERED for another 45 minutes gently stirring and basting ONCE about half way through.
The Coke will glaze and the no one will be able to guess what's in the sauce.
Serve with plenty of napkins or, better yet, provide finger bowls with warm water and lemon.

Okay, Robin. Here's another one. This is a favorite because everyone tries to figure out what's in it but no one ever does.

Secret Sweet & Sour Sauce
for Cocktail Meatballs, Vienna Fingers, little sausages, etc.

In a medium saucepan, combine equal parts prepared mustard and grenadine syrup.
Heat gently until completely blended (at least 30 minutes to allow the mustard to calm down).
Place cooked, hot cocktail meatballs in a chaffing dish and pour over sauce.
Flambe Option: Flame with one to two ounces of heated Cognac.
If you make your own cocktail meatballs, try using Italian style breadcrumbs -
works well with the sauce.

one jar of nacho cheese (with chili if you prefer)
other options you can add: salsa tobasco sauce (highly recomended)
peppers and onions chopped meat (cook it first)
Cook the stuffing according to directions on box, then just simply add all the other goodies.
Serve with chips, fritos, bread, or anything else you can think of. mmmmmmmmmmmmm
