Super Easy, Super Yummy Rice

I make this rice as both a side dish and a main course. You put all the ingredients together and in the oven it goes... so easy! My kind of recipe!

1 cup rice (not the quick cooking kind)
1 can of french onion soup
1 can broth (chicken or beef... I usually have boxed broth on hand, so I just fill up the french onion soup can with the broth to measure)
1 small can mushrooms (if that's your thing!)
1 stick of butter (I usually don't use the whole stick...maybe a half or so)

This is where you can stop if you are using it as a side dish. Stir all the ingredients together and put them in a 9x13 dish for an hour at 350.

If you want to make it as a main dish/casserole just add shredded chicken (however much you want... I usually shred the white meat of a rotisserie chicken to use) and a can of water chestnuts. I guess you could add whatever vegetables you like... I am just a creature of habit that follows a recipe strictly! ha! This still goes into the oven for an hour at 350.

I have tried this with brown rice (thinking it would be healthier) and the rice DID NOT cook?!? I am not sure if I had a bad batch of rice, or if brown rice just takes a lot longer or what.... so I usually use enriched medium grain rice. It seems to work well.

This is really good with the cranberry chicken recipe that Alyssa posted. One of our favorite meals!

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

What you will need:

1lb chicken (tenders or breasts or even canned chunk chicken)

1 block low fat cream cheese

2/3 cup fat free ranch dressing

3/4 to 1 cup buffalo wing sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and a little more to top it off

What you will need to do:

1) Boil chicken until just done

2) Shred chicken, cut off any fat or skin

3) Heat cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch, and buffalo sauce until heated through.  Then add chicken until all is coated

4) Transfer to a small crock pot (top with shredded cheddar, if you want) and keep on warm or low.  It is ready immediately, since everything is cooked, but it's great take to bible study or a get together in the crock pot!  Serve with tortilla chips or pita chips.
