  1. Chicken Quesadillas
    Cindy Brueggeman

    4-5 boneless chx breasts, diced
    1 jar of salsa
    1/2 tsp cumin
    1/2 tsp chili powder
    1/2 can black beans
    1/2can corn
    4-6 tortilla shells
    Cheese??

    dice up the chicken in bite size pieces. add all ingredients to a pan, leaving out the corn and beans for now. cook until chicken is fully cooked, then add beans and corn. the longer you simmer this, the more the flavor goes thru it. you can add more cumin and chili powder if you like it a little more spicy, taste test first! Place chicken mixture in a freezer bag. Bundle with the tortillas and cheese. Seal, label and freeze flat.

    Serving instructions:
    Thaw contents of bag completely. Place a portion of meat mixture on half of the tortilla, add cheese, fold over other part of tortilla....continue this until all meat mixture is used up. bake at 350 for 10-15 mins, until a light golden brown.

  6. Italian Hot Beef

    For each supper swap meal, use 1 recipe with 2 pounds of chuck roast.

    For every 2 pounds of chuck roast (or chuck tender roast) mix together:

    12 oz beef broth
    1 Tblsp ketchup
    1/4 tsp Worchester sauce
    1/4 tsp Kitchen Bouquet
    4 drops Hot sauce

    Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper on roast to taste. Put in crock-pot with above mixture. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. Shred beef with a fork and
    return to juice.

    Jonelle’s note: I used chuck roast or chuck tender roast - whatever is cheaper. It is great to make ahead. I did 2 roasts in 1 big crock-pot. Can be frozen and reheated easily. Include buns the day of the swap.
