I mentioned on Twitter earlier this week that I was making my favorite Chicken Tetrazzini recipe for our household and was also making it for a friend who recently had surgery. I got a few requests for the recipe, so I thought I’d post it and another family favorite. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures for either recipe, but you can use your imagine that both will look absolutely delicious when you’re finished!
Bow Tie Fiesta
Ingredients:
8 ounces bow tie pasta
1 pound ground beef
½ onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt to taste
1 cup sour cream
1 cup salsa
½ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Cook the pasta using package directions and cooking for 7 minutes; drain. Brown the beef in a skillet, stirring until crumbly; drain. Add the onion and green pepper and mix well. Cook until the onion is tender, stirring constantly. Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, and salt. Combine the pasta, ground beef mixture, sour cream, salsa, black olives, jalapenos, and tomato in a bowl and mix well. Spoon into a 9×11-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Yield: 8 servings
Chicken Tetrazzini
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package spaghetti, cooked and drained
3 cups of cubed chicken
1 (6 ½ ounce) can mushrooms, drained
1 to 1 ½ cups crumbled cooked bacon
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, chopped
White Sauce:
½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules (or 4 cubes)
Dash of pepper
3 ½ cups plus ½ cup milk
2 ounces sliced almonds for garnish
Directions:
In a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish layer the spaghetti, chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. Preheat the oven to 350. For the white sauce, melt the butter in a medium-size pan over low heat; stir in the flour, bouillon, and pepper. Add ½ cup milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the remaining 3 ½ cups milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Pour the white sauce over the chicken mixture. Bake for 45 minutes. Garnish with the sliced almonds. Yield: 8 to 10 servings
