Seasoned Recipes

Seasoned Recipes Seasoned Recipes was created to share the hand-written recipes I have collected over the years from my friends and family. Join me cooking!

So many of these recipes mean the world to me because of the people in my life who have handed them down to me.

A trusty recipe that I have made for so may years that I have adapted to my own and have a few versions depending on what’s on hand or what sounds good!
1 rotisserie chicken shredded
1 med onion chopped
1 clove of garlic
2-3 TBS of butter
1 can (4oz)chopped green chilies
1/2 Cup milk
2 TBS flour
1/2 to 1 cup Sour Cream
1 can chicken broth
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
10-12 flour tortillas
1-2 (14 oz) packages of Colby Jack (depending on you cheesy preference!)
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium sauce pan sauté the onion and garlic in the butter. Add the green chilies. Stir together the flour and milk (can sub a can of cream of chicken instead.) Add to chili mixture. Add the sour cream and stir it until smooth and thick. Add the chicken broth, spices and chicken. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Place a spoonful of mixture in a flour tortilla and sprinkle with grated cheese. Roll in place in a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish. Repeat until dish is full. Pour remaining mixture over the top and cover with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
Second version is White Enchiladas— sub sour cream with half a block of cream cheese and Monterrey Jack instead of Colby Jack.
I serve this with a simple salad that is a go to for any Mexican dish! Old school dressing of mayo with shredded onion, salt and pepper tossed with salad.
Enjoy!!!

Monterey Spinach Spaghetti

This is a delicious side dish to serve with a simple protein and side salad! We are having baked chicken breast and a simple salad along with this pasta for dinner tonight 🍴

4 oz spaghetti, broken into 2 inch pieces
One egg
1 cup or 8 ounces of sour cream
1/4 Cup grated Parmesan
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2-1 tsp salt (I added after making)
2 Cups Monterey Jack cheese
10 oz  package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and drained
1 can french fried onions, divided

Cook the spaghetti. Beat the egg in a medium bowl. Add the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Drain the spaghetti and add the egg mixture along with the jack cheese, spinach, and half of the onions. Pour into a greased 2 quart baking dish. Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350° top with the remainder of the onions and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the onions are brown and crispy.

Variations:
— substitute pepper jack for the Monterey Jack
— add a small jar of chopped and drained, artichoke hearts

I wish I knew where this recipe originated from. It’s not named or signed. My guess is my mom where most of my good stuff comes from!

I’m working on 2 old recipes this week and thought I’d share this shortcut I use all the time! I buy tomato paste in bulk every time we go to Costco. Many recipes only call for 1 or 2 tablespoons leaving almost an entire can open and usually wasted! I started measuring out tablespoons of the tomato paste, smear them into a snack sized baggies and put the in the deep freezer. When you’re ready to use, run under hot water, cut one end of the baggie and pipe it out like icing! Wasting less is so gratifying to me!!🥫🍅🥫

After a very long pause, Seasoned Recipes has returned!! Working my way towards dreams of writing a cookbook one day, I’m jumping back in to old family handwritten recipes and will also share some of my own creations.
Kicking off with my Dad’s Salad Dressing. It’s a very simple balsamic vinaigrette that you can put on anything!
Crush 3 cloves of garlic with 1 teaspoon of salt (dad used 1 tablespoon but I think that makes it a bit too salty)
Add 1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar, mix again
Add 1/4 cup olive oil and serve!!
Key to this recipe is using real garlic cloves vs canned minced and really muddling in well with the salt.
Stayed tuned! Will try to post 2-3 recipes a week!
Let me know what you think and post pictures in the comments if you try any of them.
Also, be sure to scroll back to the old recipes I’ve already posted, many during 2020 when we were all going stir crazy during the pandemic.

Thanksgiving is crazily right around the corner! I will post some of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving dishes in case you are looking for new (old) ideas this year!
I am starting with my Mom’s Corn Pudding. It’s really more of a corn soufflé— don’t let the word “pudding” throw you off!
It’s not too heavy, sweetly yummy and loaded with 🌽 !!

This serves 8-12 people. I halved it in the pictures.

1 1/2 C milk warmed in microwave
Mix in two heaping tablespoons of cornstarch, so it’s not clumpy.
Then add:
2 (17oz)  cans of cream style corn
1 can of  drained kernel corn
3 TBS sugar
1tsp salt
1/2 stick of butter cut into pieces
6 eggs brought to room temperature

Combine all and mix well. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 Pyrex dish. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle with paprika after baking and serve!

Aunt Susan’s New Potatoes

My dad’s sister, my sweet Aunt Susan, pioneered this easy but delicious side dish! Hope you enjoy.

Boil new potatoes in skins, drain and cut in quarters. Place in a casserole dish. Sat and pepper.
Melt butter (about 1/2-1 stick) over potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and grated cheddar.
Melt cheese in microwave. Serve with sour cream!

You win some, you lose some! Last night I made another 70’s Ground Beef Recipe called “Judi Brick’s Hamburger Pie” from our neighbor in Haughton, La. circa 1977 ish. My husband from Wisconsin said this was similar to the “hot dish” in the Midwest but I personally thought it was a flop. Needed spice and it was dry.
I later talked to my mom who said my step-father loves this recipe! I guess for those basic meat and potatoes eaters this is could be up your alley!
If there is any interest I will post the recipe— if not I will try one more 70’s ground beef recipe before moving on!
