This sounds like it would translate to a crockpot very easily... and have all the ingredients on hand except the cream of chicken has no herbs... how was it?

Like that old Alka Seltzer commercial... I can't believe I ate the whole thing... (without the stomach problems) still full...

BURP! (or other LOL!)

I love the idea of that recipe above for your enchiladas montadas. I am kinda of anal about prepared box & canned goods, but I AM going to try it this weekend with fresh mushrooms and homemade mushroom soup.

Were the chiles pre-fireroasted / blackened and skinned and seeded and simply diced and added into the sauce or as garnish? I missed them in the instructions.

Turned out quite well...though it took more like 45 min. to an hour instead of the estimated 30 min.

I know using a can of soup as a cooking ingredient may have its share of critics and I can understand why, but I kid you not...it makes one heck of a shortcut if you just got home from work and want a dinner that didn't come out of a paper bag. I've even seen Paula Dean stir in a can of "Cream of Celery" from time to time!

Is your unit gas, electric, other?

As funny as this is about to sound; when was the last time you checked the temperature calibration of your oven or its temp sensor unit?

I need to control elements like sodium and such that I do not need and when calculating the cost for low or non-sodium (and other things) I can spend a bit more time, make a bigger homemade batch and freeze it off in handy portions for later use; and over all my per portion cost are MUCH lower; even when factoring ingredient, time and such.

Sorry watching Tv in the Ht... roasted then frozen, peeled and diced before use and stirred into the meat when it was about halfway done...

NP... They are warm peppers so thats why only the 2, I used almost the same recipe for Green enchilada's with Beef Hamburger and they came out much hotter the only difference, Cambells Soup on this batch and the Wal-Mart brand on the other... this batch much thicker and added the egg. (back to the HR20 )

Sorry...I didn't mean you...I noticed your edit after the fact...

I was actually thinking about a guy at work who was razzing me about it.

Anyway, my oven in an electric convection oven. Its only about three years old.

Honestly, I just left it in the oven longer to make the potatoes nice and tender...

Thin new york strip steaks, trimmed clean of fat, rubbed in a little garlic and herb, and grilled on the stovetop grill. Took some french bread about the length of each steak, sliced open sandwich style. Brushed all sides with olive oil. Thru the steak on there with a slice of provolone and put it on the panini press for about 5 minutes.

Now that was delicious....
