Deluxe Sour Cream Chicken

(courtesy of allrecipes.com)

This recipe is so easy to make – cook up some bacon and throw everything in a pan and you're good to go!

18 slices bacon (1 pack)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 (16 oz.) container sour cream

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pork chops also work well)

Cook bacon over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels. Preheat oven to 350*. Place chicken in a 9x13" baking dish and cover each breast with bacon (I usually chop it up). In a large bowl combine the soup and sour cream. Mix together and pour over chicken; spread out evenly. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes.

This is great with mashed potatoes.

Caramel Pecan Cheesecake

20 caramels

3 Tbsp. milk

½ cup pecans (or any favorite nut)

9" graham cracker crumb crust

2 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

½ tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

Microwave caramels and milk in small bowl on high 2 minutes or until smooth, stirring every minute. Stir in pecans; pour into crust. Refrigerate 10 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Pour over caramel mixture.

Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Garnish with pecan halves and caramel sauce.

Cream Cheese Cookies

Another simple recipe – only 5 ingredients!!

1 – 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

¼ cup butter or margarine, softened

Cream together butter and cream cheese. Blend in egg yolk and vanilla. Gradually beat in cake mix. Dough will be stiff. Cover & chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets, drop dough onto sheets (teaspoon size). Bake 8-10 minutes or until firm. Cool on wire rack.
