Buffalo Chicken & Cheesy Potato Casserole

Another Quick Chicken Recipe

Sprucing up chicken seems to be my favorite pastime, especially since I don't particularly care for chicken! The Pinterest recipes I've found are just that appealing, I can't turn them down! I found this recipe a while back and decided to give it a try...and if we're being honest the most appealing part of the recipe wasn't the chicken but the cheese, potatoes, and bacon!

Here's how I made this recipe my own:

Ingredients

1 pack of chicken tenders (about 6-9 chopped into chunks)

8 potatoes, cubed

1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1.5 tsp of salt

1.5 tsp of pepper

2 tbsp of garlic powder

6 tbsp of hot sauce

1 pack/14 oz. of any kind of cheese you like (I chose sharp cheddar cheese)

1 container/2.3 oz. of Hormel bacon bits

 6-8 stems of green onions (cut to size)

Baked Potato Casserole

I'm trying to get a better footing on my cooking game, so I'm up for trying new things; I always have been up for trying new things.

My best friend Nicole posted a recipe on Instagram that looked simply delicious.

The recipe was for Baked Potato Casserole!

I had to give it a try because I just love all things potato!

I wanted to try it so bad I requested the recipe in advance and cooked it the day after she posted the picture!

Here's how my casserole turned out:

Visit her blog for the recipe. Aside from having to peel the potatoes, which took way too long for my liking, it was quick and easy!!

I have a similar recipe that I wanted to try soon...but my boyfriend requested that I stick to making this recipe, preferably every week, because he likes this one! Lol...I aim to please, so I see a lot of potatoes and potato peeling in the near future :-)

Have a great week y'all!!

Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Grits Casserole

I tried this recipe last night and gave it two thumbs up. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the quickest because it's not...lol, but it is pretty tasty. Usually, when I bake I forget to grease the pan, but I didn't this time and I could definitely tell the difference. I had Pam...but I decided to use butter. Although that's not the healthiest alternative, I love butter! I'm not shamed!! :-)

I found this recipe on Pinterest (Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Grits Casserole), so that already puts me at 2 Pinterest demonstrations this month!

Bacon and Cheddar Potato

So...a little while back my sister put me on these things called Bacon and Cheddar Potatoes (from Wendy's). I caught myself buying 2 or 3 of these things a week!! It was getting ridiculous. Wendy's has lost their minds because they don't have a $0.99 menu anymore (actually they do, but some of the items that used to be up there have magically increased in price). A Bacon Cheddar Potato is almost $3...for ONE!! When you order a potato...it's usually very messy, not done right, missing something, etc.! So one of my coworkers suggested I make my own.

Of course, I looked up a "recipe" to figure out the best way to bake a potato and I found a way that works for me. I altered this recipe a bit. I coat the potato with oil but I don't salt it. I don't eat the skin so there's no need to. I leave the potatoes in the oven for an hour. I usually don't turn them halfway through, but maybe I should start. After I take the potato out of the oven, I split it into four sections, salt and pepper it, butter it, then place cheese all over it. I then put the potato in the microwave to further melt the cheese. After that's done, I top it with bacon.

I love this snack and it usually will hold hunger back long enough for me to get some real food!

Give it a try!
