Cheesy Doritos Chicken Casserole – Your family will love

Nancy Lee and Me - Cheesy Doritos Chicken Casserole

Cheesy Doritos Chicken Casserole – If you are looking for a quick and delicious Mexican casserole dish, this Dorito chicken casserole is the perfect meal for you.

Origin of Mexican Casserole

The first version of a Mexican casserole seems to have been the muk-bil (literally, “to put in the ground”). Made by the Mayans on the Yucatan Peninsula since pre-Hispanic times, it is the King Kong of tamales. Truly gigantic.

The corn dough wraps around a filling of turkey (after the Spanish arrived, chicken and pork were used as well) rubbed with a pungent paste seasoned with achiote (annatto) seeds, spices and tomatoes. It resembles the flavors of cochinita pibil, a robust Yucatan dish.

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers – Love them sooo much

Nancy Lee and Me - Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers are a lighter option. All the flavors of the cheese steak and no bread! This easy-to-make recipe is a family favorite.

Origin of the Stuffed Bell Pepper

Stuffed peppers in American cuisine is a dish where bell peppers (often the green, yellow, orange, and red varieties) are typically filled with a stuffing such as ground beef, mixed with bread crumbs or cooked rice, eggs, herbs, and spices (especially paprika and parsley) and cheese. Recipes vary but often include hollowing out the peppers, boiling them, stuffing them, covering them with cheese, and baking or alternatively cooking them on the stove top at a slow simmer in canned tomato sauce until the peppers are soft. A sauce may be served with them, often a tomato sauce, but this, too, varies greatly.
