Taco Rice

I love this, it is so easy. I got it from my sister Beth, she made it for us the week after I had my 2 y.o. and we have made it ever since. So easy and cheap.

Taco Rice
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion-diced
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 (16 oz)can Diced tomatoes
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Brown meat and drain. Combine meat, onion, taco seasoning, cooked rice, and tomaties in large saucepan and simmer 5 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas and cheese.

This is a great recipe to double or triple and freeze.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

I love these biscuits, I have been making these for several years, I originally got this off All Recipes. They taste just like the ones you get from Red lobster.

4 C baking mix
3 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded (we usually add more)
1 1/3 C water

1/2 C melted butter
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. dried parsley

Directions-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, cheese and water. Mix until dough is firm. Using a small scoop, place dough onto pan.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Combine melted butter, garlic, onion, salt and parsley. Brush over biscuits immediately upon removing from oven.

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs

"Honey, soy sauce, pepper and garlic make a terrific marinade and basting sauce for chicken chunks grilled on skewers with your favorite vegetables - try onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, or mushrooms."

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground
black pepper
8 skinless, boneless
chicken breast halves -
cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cloves garlic
5 small onions, cut into 2
inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut
into 2 inch pieces
skewers

DIRECTIONS:
1.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Before adding chicken, reserve a small amount of marinade to brush onto kabobs while cooking. Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better).
2.
Preheat the grill for high heat.
3.
Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
4.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Turn and brush with reserved marinade frequently.
