media that feeds the belly

I have to say, one of my favorite forms of media is my recipe book. Several years back when my grandma Swenson was still alive, my sister had the brilliant idea to compile a book of the favorite family recipes. We had this huge day where all of the girls in the family came to my grandma's house and put the book together. From what I remember, there were several rooms where the girls sat, putting all of the pages in pocket protectors to create one very large recipe book. Every woman in the family got one and I cherish mine so much.

The only problem is: I rarely cook anything. It's not that I'm a terrible cook, I just never have time. When I do have time, I'm usually too tired and end up making Ramen, a sandwich, or just not eating. Healthy, I know. But, the other night I was feeling adventurous, so I decided to make chicken enchiladas for the first time in my life. Soooo good! And, I'm still eating the leftovers. So, for all of you out there who are just like me and want an easy, fabulous tasting dinner, here's my family recipe:

What you need:
2 lbs of chicken or ground beef
16 oz can of sour cream
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 small can of chopped green chilli peppers
1 package of large flour tortillas
1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package of shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat to 350. Brown meat and mix together the sour cream, chicken soup, and green chillies (chilli juice included).
Spoon out mixture onto taco shell, add a spoonful of meat, then top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Roll up and place in pan, (I ended up with about 6 enchiladas). Spoon the rest of the mixture on top of the shells and sprinkle off with cheese, (the more cheese, the better!). Cook for either 20-30 minutes. I'll have to get back to ya'll on the time :)
