OMG I love this!
I was addicted to this for almost two years. It was what I thought of every time I was hungry. It is easy, but tastes like it was hard to make.
Sometime earlier, bake 4 chicken breasts for 45-50 minutes at 350'
Cool and dice
Sautee' in lg. skillet in 4 TBSP butter:

Red Onion, Garlic, Celery and Red Pepper (all diced)
**You won't believe how good this smells already
Add: 1 Can Chicken Broth (8 oz)
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1- 8 0z. Philly Cream Cheese (softened)
2 Cups Parmesan Cheese
Mix well
Simmer this, for about 1/2 hour. If it gets to thick, add more cream
Spoon it over Uncle Bens Wild Rice

Yes, that's me making it

Stubby Roy with his long suffering wife, Clara Berry

I named this chili dog sauce after one of our family dogs who lives with my daughter now, because for some reason, I know this would be one of his favorites. Stubby Roy is a very overweight dachshund , (alright, he's obese). He finds food no matter where you put it. Anyway, I miss him and here it is:

1 Pound Lean Ground Chuck
1 Small Onion
1 Garlic Clove
2 TBSP Oil
1/2 Cup Beef Broth
1 TBSP Kikkoman (tastes best) Soy Sauce
2 tsp Chili Powder
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Celery Salt
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Ginger

Sautee' onion and garlic in oil
Add beef, cook
Add spices, soy sauce and broth
Spoon onto any hotdog
Top with cheese
there is no way to describe these, so try them!

Be different this Thanksgiving! Don't buy Cool Whip. Instead, buy a small carton of heavy whipping cream, then customize it. Add 2 TBSP powdered sugar for each Cup of Cream. Chill your bowl in the freezer for 1/2 hour first, then it will whip faster. It only takes a few minutes, and Cool Whip can't compare to real whipped cream. It makes your pumpkin pie and all desserts taste so much fresher.
You can add a teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract, or 1/3 cup brown sugar for a caramel flavored whipped cream. Add orange, lime or lemon shavings for a citrus flavored burst. Add 2 TBSP honey! You won't believe what this will do to an ordinary piece of Sara Lee pound cake
.

Make it up to two days ahead, and keep it in a plastic container in the fridge. Add it to your morning coffee. Yum!

My brother Brad is still talking about this casserole, and I haven't made it for him since 1998. He's weird that way. Well, he's weird in every way really. He's very picky, so if he likes it, I'm sure anyone will!
Ingredients:
1 pound lean Hamburger
1 pkt Taco Seasoning mix
1 Can Green Giant Mexicorn, drained
2 TBSP Butter
1 Can Nacho Cheese Soup
1 Bag Tater Tots

Heat oven to 375. Brown the ground beef and add the taco seasoning mix, and 1 Cup water.

Spoon meat mixture into (ungreased 2 qt) casserole. Sprinkle corn over meat mixture. Spread the soup over the corn.

Place tater tots in a single layer over soup. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned and the mixture is bubbly.
Top with sour cream if you want
