Chicken and Wild Rice Alfredo Bake

This dish is easy and very versatile. You can use a jarred Alfredo sauce or make your own. You can also add a can of drained veggies, if you like. Good choices are: French-style green beans, mixed vegetables, mushrooms and water chestnuts.  Slivered almonds make a tasty addition to this dish, too.

½ cup milk
10 oz. package refrigerated Alfredo sauce*
3 cups cooked cubed chicken
6 oz. pkg. long grain and wild rice mix, prepared according to package directions
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.
Mix milk and sauce in large bowl; whisk to combine.
Add chicken and prepared rice to sauce mixture; stir to blend.
Pour into prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese.
Return dish to oven long enough to melt cheese.

*Homemade Alfredo Sauce

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly.
Remove from heat; gradually add milk, whisking to keep smooth.
Return to heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly until thickened.
Add Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Add salt and pepper.

    Yes, Heather. This amount of Alfredo sauce works well in this casserole.
    I also think roasted red peppers would work well in this casserole! I'll give it a try!

    Thanks for your question! I saw a lot of great sounding recipes on your blog! I'll definitely be trying them!

    Many blessings ~ Connie

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.
