Potato Casserole.
-2 cans of cream of potato soup
-Several medium to large size potatos
-Bacon bits (I usually use two to three containers found in the salad section)
-Colby jack cheese
-Chives
Boil the potatoes until barely soft. Drain them and chop them up into square pieces as big or as small as you like (the smaller the faster it cooks, the bigger the longer it cooks). Take you 9×11 pan and spread the potatoes to fill it. Pour the soup over the potatoes generously. Pour one container of bacon bits over the potatoes. Cover with cheese. Put in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes typically. About 5 minutes before the casserole is done pull it out and add the chopped chives, the rest of the bacon bits and a bit more cheese. Voila!

season and sautee some chicken in a skillet with a little oil in it. then put it in a casserole dish and pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over it and a half can of water, and some dried thyme. bake it for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven with the lid on. serve with mashed potatoes and dinner rolls because the gravy is incredible! you can also throw in a few carrots and onions in your casserole dish too before baking in the oven. delicious!

slice a few potatoes and onions. Layer them alternately in a caserole dish and dot with butter and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake at 350 for about 45 minues or till potatoes are tender.

OK, I'm not a meat eater, but whatever meat you choose, try this pasta with vodka sauce on the side, instead of potatoes. It's heaven, and really easy and quick to make. My hints are: be sure to use fresh grated good quality parmesan cheese; don't be afraid to add the vodka to the boiling water; don't worry-the alcohol boils off.
