Lilly’s Chicken

by Mrs Marvel

Whenever I see someone’s name attached to a recipe, like this one, I know that when this dish was made, someone was thinking fondly of the person who gave it to them. There is that social networking again. Lilly made this for friends one night, passed on the recipe, now I am sharing it with the world. If it hadn’t been for Lilly, some family somewhere would be having a boring chicken dish again but instead they are having Lilly’s Chicken. See how that works?

I think I might make this for dinner tonight with mixed veggies.

Lilly’s Chicken

4 boneless chicken breasts, split

1/2 lb Swiss cheese in slices

1 can cream of chicken soup, mixed with 1/4-1/3 c white wine

1 1/2 c Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix

Arrange chicken breasts in large Pyrex dish. Cover with Swiss cheese, then soup mix. Top with stuffing mix. Cover with foil. Bake 350 for 1/2 hr. Remove cover & cook for 10-15 min longer.

Green Beans Oregano

by Mrs Marvel

Looking for a way to turn those boring old green beans into something new and interesting? Here is a recipe for Green Beans Oregano that is somewhat reminiscent of the famous green bean casserole you find at Thanksgiving dinners across America.

Green Beans Oregano

6 cups green beans (frozen)

1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

2 cans (4 oz each) mushroom slices drained

1 to 2 envelopes onion soup mix, depending on flavor desired

1/4 to 1/2 tsp oregano

4 to 6 slices bacon

Cook beans until barely done. Drain. Mix with remaining ingredients saving 3 slices bacon for garnish. Refrigerate over night to blend flavors, this is a must. Bake in 3 quart casserole at 350 degrees 30 to 40 minutes. 8 servings.

Vidalia Onion Casserole

by Mrs Marvel

Vidalia onions are fairly young, considering they were first discovered in 1931 during the tough days of the Great Depression. They grow exclusively in Georgia and are named for the town of Vidalia which is located close to the first fields that grew the crop. The onion is sweet because of the low sulphur content in the sandy Georgia soil. It’s quite possible you would not be able to grow Vidalias sweet if you did not have the right soil mix and make up.

Vidalia Onion Casserole

4 cups onions – cut in chunks

1 can cream of mushroom, undiluted

4 ounces sour cream

1/2 cup seasoned bread stuffing mix

1/2 cup margarine

About 7 slices provolone cheese

Saute onions in skillet, until clear, using half the margarine. Stir in soup and sour cream and place in baking dish. Layer slices of cheese on top. Toss stuffing mix with the rest of the melted margarine and sprinkle on top of casserole.

Bake at 350 about 30-35 minutes
