Chicken pillow crescents

Ingredients:

3-4 cups shredded turkey or chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)

1 can cream of chicken soup 

8 oz. brick of cream cheese

1/3 cup ranch dressing

2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

2 tubes of crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom of two 9 x 13 pans.

Combine chicken, cream of chicken, cream cheese, ranch and 1 cup of cheese in a saucepan until cream cheese is melted.  Salt and pepper to taste. Roll out crescent rolls.  Add mix to the middle of crescent rolls and make into a dumpling. Cook for 15 minutes.  Add remaining cup of cheese and bake for 3-5 more minutes until cheese is melted.  

Sriracha ranch and bacon cheeseburger sliders

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 package king’s Hawaiian rolls

6 pieces bacon, cooked and cut in half

½ cup ranch dressing

2 tbsp sriracha

Cheese slices (I recommend sharp cheddar or pepperjack)

4 tbsp butter

Garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 inch pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together the ranch and sriracha sauce. Set aside.

Brown ground beef and drain. I seasoned with salt and pepper and added some minced garlic and chopped white onions. Mix ground beef and ranch sauce.

Put the bottom of the rolls in the baking dish. Butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.

Spread the ground beef and sauce over them. Top with cooked bacon, cheese and top with the top half of the rolls. Mix the butter and garlic salt together and spread over the top of the rolls.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

Perfect Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:

6 eggs

3 tablespoons ranch dressing

1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/8 teaspoon salt

Paprika

In 2-quart saucepan, place eggs in single layer; add enough water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Heat to boiling. Immediately remove from heat; cover and let stand 15 minutes.

Drain water from eggs; rinse eggs with cold water. Place eggs in bowl of ice water; let stand 10 minutes. Peel eggs; cut in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks; place in small bowl. Mash yolks with fork until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients except paprika until well blended.

Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika.  Chill until ready to serve. 

I skipped the celery because I'm not a fan but I was pleasantly surprised by replacing the traditional mayo in a deviled egg with ranch. I also added a dash of pepper and garlic powder.  Yum! 

Buffalo chicken bread

Ever wonder what to do with leftover buffalo wings? I know, as if that happens very often! But it happened to me this week and rather than eat them plain or throw them away, I came up with this delicious concoction. 

Ingredients:

2 pieces garlic bread/texas toast (I use the frozen kind that already has butter and seasonings on it)

Buffalo wings

Ranch

Hot sauce

Green onions

Shredded cheese

Sprinkle bread with some garlic.  Pull the chicken off the bone and shred.  Drizzle bread with ranch dressing and hot sauce.  Top with chicken, shredded cheese and green onions.  Bake at 350 until the cheese is melty and golden brown.  Or if you have a pizazz, use that! Quick and easy no stress dinner.
