My Tip - Grilling

 

When grilling to add some extra pizzazz to your dish, throw some herbs into the fire, this will create a nice smokey flavor.

 

My Question - Cracking Eggs

 

I heard that the better way to crack an egg is on a flat surface, is this true? And do you know why?

[lapseofreason]

I usually crack my eggs on the edge of the sink or counter. You just have to make sure there aren't any shell pieces inside when you dump the egg in a bowl or whatever.... On a flat surface, I can't see anything other than smashing it, or barely denting the egg.

[SonOfBeastSucks]

I just crack the egg on the bowl I'm using to mix the ingredients in. If I accidentally get any egg shell in the bowl, I just scoop it out with a spoon. Works for me...

OK, so here is an actual family recipe, since I noticed this thread was lacking:

 

Weirdo Yummy Tomato Cheese Soup Chicken Casserole Thing A La Amanda

Canned tomatoes (the chopped ones, DRAIN THE FREAKING CAN FIRST)

Grated cheese (your favorite, we used cheddar)

Breadcrumbs

Casserole dish (a glass rectangular one)

 

1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2)Dump 1 can of soup in the casserole. (This depends on how much chicken you are putting in, otherwise 1 can will be enough to cover all)

3) Put the chicken in.

4) Add the other soup (if necessary) and tomatoes

5)Spread a good thick layer of grated cheese on top, then a good amount of breadcrumbs

6) Cover the pan with tinfoil and bake at 350 degrees F until everything is gooey, bubbly, and delicious-looking.

Chicken Wing Dip-It's SOOO good!

 

8oz. Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded

Two 8oz. bricks cream cheese

1 cup of Red Hot hot sauce

1/2 cup blue cheese dressing

1/2 cup ranch dressing

As much cooked cut up small chicken as you see fit

 

Mix everything in an oven safe thing, make sure there's room, it makes a lot. Stir well, and bake until bubbly and hot. I usually do 400 degrees for around 30-40 minutes, stiring every 10 or so. Best with Tostito's Scoops.

 

When I make this mainly for myself, I cut the recipe in half.
