I would like to take a nice dish to my friends house?

Question

this weekend,there will be three of us and I would like for it to be like a one dish meal. Not spaghetti or lasagna.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This is the pasta recipe i give all the time. My fav.

Chicken Salad Deluxe

1 ¼ cups prepared buttermilk salad dressing – I make my own from the dry pack.
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons half and half
1 ¾ teaspoons Beau Monde seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
5 whole chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), skinned cooked and cubed – I boil mine in chicken stock
10 oz. shell macaroni, cooked, rinsed, and drained and cooled
3 cups diced celery
2 ½ cups seedless green grapes, cut lengthwise into halves
12 oz slivered almonds, reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish
2 cans (2.25 oz each) sliced water chestnuts
½ cup chopped onion
Lettuce leaves
Cantaloupe slices

Combine salad dressing, mayonnaise, half and half, seasoning, salt and pepper in small bowl; blend will. Cover; refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.

Combine chicken, shells, celery grapes, almonds, water chestnuts and onion in large bowl. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with reserved almonds. Serve with cantaloupe slices.

Makes 20 servings, but my family of 4 eats half the first day and finishes the rest the next. This is my all time favorite pasta dish. What’s nice is you can do the dressing one day and do the rest the next.

Answer 2

How about Enchilada Pie? Here's a good recipe to try:

11/2 lb ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
1 clove of garlic minced
3 T olive oil
1/3 cup Piquante sauce
1 can Enchilada Sauce
1 can drained pinto beans
1 small can sliced olives
3 cups Fritos corn chips
3 cups shredded Mexican Cheese blend

Heat olive oil in skillet and saute ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain and add picante sauce, enchilada sauce, olives and pinto beans. Simmer for 15 minutes. In baking dish, layer 1/3 of the corn chips, 1/3 of the meat mixture, and 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers and top with cheese. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees and let cool for 15 minutes before serving. This dish is nice with a green salad and Spicy Ranch Dressing.

Answer 3

Sweetie,why not do a pasta bake or casserole?Here are a couple recipes you may be interested in trying.

Alfredo Fake Bake

1lb penne pasta
1 1/2 cups half and half or heavy cream
2 cups grated parmesan
salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

Cook pasta til it still has a good bite to it.Place in a casserole or baking dish.Add cream,parmesan,salt and pepper.This would be the time to add extras such as frozen peas or your meat of choice.Place in a 350 degree oven until sauce is thick and bubbly,pasta will finish cooking in the sauce.Remove from heat and top with shredded mozzarella.Place back in oven under "broil" until cheese is melted and desired color.Serve with garlic bread,bread sticks,or a nice side salad.

Easy Vegetable Pot Pie

2 cans of cream of celery soup(you could use cream of mushroom as well)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen carrots
1 cup thinnly sliced patatoes(they will cook,make sure they are thinnly sliced)
1 1/2 cups half and half,heavy cream,or low fat milk( i find the cream gives it a nice consistancy but milk can be used in a pinch)
1 can grands jumbo biscuits

In a baking dish place condensed soup and cream or milk.Whisk to combine.Toss in peas,carrots,patatoes,and any vegetables you desire.Salt and pepper to taste.Stir to combine vegetables with soup mixture.Top with biscuits,and dab biscuits with butter.Place in a 350 degree oven once biscuits are browned and cooked through the vegetables should be nice and tender.Remember,even after you remove from the heat,it will continue to cook.The patatoes,you want to make sure they are extremely thinnly sliced.This could easily be made into a meat dish,by adding your favorite meats.

Good luck hun,and have a good day!!
