Recipe: Potato Chip Casserole

I’m at it again; entering this week’s Holiday Recipe Exchange for a chance to win a 3.5 quart Le Creuset French Oven. Come join the fun at the My Baking Addiction and GoodLife Eats Holiday Recipe Swap sponsored by Le Creuset.

This another “heritage” recipe, handed down from my mom to me to my daughter. It’s the first oven-dish I ever taught her to make. My mom makes hers with tuna but my daughter doesn’t care much for any fish other than shrimp or my blackened salmon, so I changed this recipe up with a can of chicken instead.

You can add veggies to it if you like, but I enjoy it just as it is… helping after helping after helping.

INGREDIENTS:

1 bag (12 oz.) potato chips, crushed
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can Cream of Chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 soup can of milk
1 can (12 oz.) chicken or tuna

Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

It’s that simple, and even more delicious!

Holiday Recipe: Mocha Flavored Coffee

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

This recipe has been passed through the family for decades. It’s a favorite holiday beverage as well as great for gift giving! I made a mistake when copying the recipe, which actually made it so much better, and now it’s my own original.

MOCHA FLAVORED COFFEE

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup instant coffee
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
1 Cup powdered creamer (I like flavors such as vanilla or hazelnut)
2 TBSP Cocoa powder
2 TBSP instant hot cocoa mix

Mix all ingredients together. Use 2 rounded teaspoons (or more!) per 8 oz. hot water. If desired, top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and sprinkles. Serve with a candy cane.
