Recipe Tag!

My cousin Caley tagged me in "Blog Recipe Tag" on HER blog, so here are my recipes!

I tag Stef, Jess and Julie to put THREE recipes on their blogs now! :o)

And for anyone who might be on the Weight Watchers diet, I have the points already figured out on the first two because these are recipes I use often. :)











Pizza Casserole
(from Taste of Home – makes TWO casseroles)

3 C uncooked spiral pasta
2 lbs ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 sm cans mushrooms (or use fresh)
1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
1 (14oz) jar pizza sauce

Cook ground turkey with onion; drain. Add mushrooms, sauces, tomato paste and all seasonings. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta. Once pasta is cooked, mix with sauce. Preheat oven to 350. Divide half of the mixture between two greased casserole dishes. Layer with cheese and pepperoni. (Can use other pizza tops.)Top with the other half of the noodle mix and the rest of the cheese. Top with parmesan and bake covered, 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

Put all ingredients in crock pot, except for sour cream and cheese. Cook on low for 6 hours or more, shredding chicken during the cooking process. Shortly before serving, stir in sour cream and cheese. Serve with tortillas, or over tortilla chips or rice.

Easy Chunky Chocolate Cookies

1 pkg dark chocolate fudge cake mix
2 eggs
½ C butter, melted
¼ C brown sugar, packed

Preheat oven to 350. Stir cake mix, eggs, butter, brown sugar and vanilla together with a spoon until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired. Drop onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. Cookies will still be puffy. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet and then remove to wire rack to cool.
