Easy Hubby Supper's...and my kitchen is a wreck!

As many of you may know I've been sick for a week now...yea I'm all snotty and pathetic! It all started with a sore throat that ended up being strep and then turned into a head cold not it's migrated south and set up residence in my chest like those lil fat mucus people on the mucinex commercials. I'm pretty sure my mucus family looks a lot like the family from Honey Boo boo and they are all down there fighting over the barrel of cheese balls!!! And the coughing lawd have mercy! I'm one of those select few that did not get the graceful coughing gene...OH No! I have violent coughing, convulsing, gagging fits! Yep and nothing seems to help! Sooo....now that I have whined enough. 

Let me get to the good stuff...Recipes! When ever I am sick or when I was in nursing school and needed some extra help in the kitchen...I invent these recipes that always begin with "Easy hubby...". Like Easy Hubby lasagna, Easy Hubby Casserole, and today was Easy hubby Veggie Beef Soup!

I find that while my husband is so generous and kind about helping out, he is indeed a man & let's face it their brains just work differently. So when I design these recipes they are normally written in man language and E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G all spelled out to the very last detail. Not that they need it super simplified but because the whole idea of this is so you don't have to be in the kitchen. And there isn't a whole lotta questions about everything. 

I will save you the lengthy man style details on here though.

So here are the latest two dishes my DSH has made for us! Hope you enjoy :D

Easy Hubby Chicken Casserole

• 1 rotisserie chicken
• 1 can cheese soup
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 3/4 - 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
• 1 bag of frozen broccoli, thawed
• 1 bag 20 oz of shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
• Half a stick of butter, melted
• S/P to taste and some dry seasonings of your choice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, coat a 13x9 baking dish. In a large bowl mix soup...sour cream, milk, cheese, and add in shredded chicken, then broccoli and seasonings to taste. Pour into casserole dish. Mix in same bowl hash brown potatoes and melted butter. Spread potatoes over top of casserole and bake uncovered for 55-60 or until golden on top.

Easy Hubby Veggie Beef Soup

• 1-1.45 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, diced. (can get fresh or already diced frozen ones)
• 1 can of veggie broth, 1 can beef broth
• 1 bag frozen diced country hash brown potatoes (this is a short cut secret for having to peel and cut up potatoes in any recipe)
• 1 bag frozen mix veggies or soup mix veggies
• 1 can diced tomatoes, do not drain
• 1-2 small cans V-8 spicy/ regular
• worchestsire sauce, moores sauce, mrs. dash of choice, pepper, white sugar, and bbq sauce.

Brown meat and diced onions, season with mrs.dash, worchestsire and moores. Drain

In large soup pot, combine all other ingredients. As for potatoes and veggies just add as many you would like. Stir and add one half to one tablespoon sugar and a squirt of your favorite bbq sauce. If there isn't enough liquid just add in some water. Let it simmer stirring periodically until veggies are tender. Serve with some french bread or bread sticks. 

This can be made ahead in crock pot and left to simmer on low all day (add potatoes in during last hour so they don't dissolve). If you are wanting it super fast...just pre cook or thaw veggies before adding to soup. 

Hope you all enjoy these recipes...and most importantly I sure hope this makes sense. Trying to type and compile your thoughts while completely wonky on cough medicine is actually kinda hard! LOL
