Share the Family Recipes!

Several years ago, I started a cookbook project, with the intent to compile recipes from each of Dell and Pearl's children and their families. Several recipes were collected and I began researching the options for having them published . . . and it was more time-consuming and expensive than I anticipated . . . then all the recipes got stuck in a drawer and thought about less and less.

Until now. Who needs another book on a shelf? We're going online! I am still adding all the recipes I was sent years ago, but it's a start. (Notice the recipes submitted from kids who are now teens?) And I'd love to continue adding! So if you have a recipe to add to our family cookbook, please send it to me in an email and I will get it right up! Feel free to add any anecdotes attached to the dish too. Photos would be great as well!

Subscribe over there on the right and any new recipes and updates will be sent directly to you.

Happy eating!


Nacho Chicken Casserole / King Ranch Casserole

Rosalie Robison Risk

Boil: 6 chicken breasts until very tender, (or purchase a roasted supermarket chicken). Remove meat from bones and cut into small pieces.
Mix with diced chicken:
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 cup or more grated cheese.

Add 1 cup sauted diced onion and 3/4 cup of chicken broth. Spray 9 x 13" casserole pan with Pam spray. Crush a thick layer of tortilla chips on bottom of pan. Pour chicken mixture over chips, mixing lightly together. Partially crush another thin layer of chips and sprinkle over top. Cover with foil (sprayed with Pam) and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and add another cup of grated cheese to top. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more without foil.
