Taco Pasta Bake

Ingredients:

• 1/2 - 3/4 of a bag of large noodle pasta like Ziti or Rigatoni
  
• 1lb of ground beef
• 1 pkg/envelope of taco seasoning or 1 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  
• 1C water
• 1/2 pkg of cream cheese (about 4oz)
• 1 1/2C shredded cheese (I used marble/Colby)

1. Boil pasta, don't over cook it as you will be baking it later.
2. While pasta is cooking, brown ground beef.
3. When ground beef is cooked through add taco seasoning mixed with 1C water and let simmer.
4. When ground beef is ready add approx. half a pkg of cream cheese and stir until melted and mixed in.
5. When pasta is ready drain. 
6. In a casserole dish add cooked pasta, stir in some shredded cheese, the ground beef mixture, top with more cheese, and bake covered at 350 for about 30 minutes (the last few minutes you can take off cover so that the top browns).

Ranch Chicken Strips Recipe

Ingredients:

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)

1 cup Corn Flakes (crushed)

¾ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

½ teaspoon black Pepper

1 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley dry Ranch Dressing mix

1/2  cup Milk

1 Egg

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish.  In a shallow dish combine crushed corn flakes, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and dry ranch dressing mix. In a small bowl beat together eggs and milk.

Step 2: Dip each chicken strip into the egg/milk mixture and then roll in the crushed corn flakes/ranch dressing mixture. Repeat until all chicken strips are well coated.

Step 3: Place onto a greased baking sheet and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). 

You can also deep fry these. If deep frying the time will be less.
