Classic Hearty Chili

By Kristin from Couponing to Disney on at

DSC_0133-2

This is a classic hearty chili recipe, perfect for cold winter days. It can easily be doubled (or even tripled if you a have a big enough pot) so that you can freeze some for your next snow day or game day party.

Ingredients
2 medium onions diced
1 and a ½ lbs. ground beef
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
3-14 ½ ounce cans of diced tomatoes
2-15 ounce cans of kidney beans drained

Seasoning Mix- A store bought chili seasoning packet will be enough for one pot of this chili or use my seasoning blend:

1 ½ teaspoon oregano
1 ½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder

Brown together the ground beef onions and garlic drain well. Return to pot and add in remaining ingredients. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Top with your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, cheese and banana peppers. Enjoy!

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie For $1.60 Per Serving

By brandyvasquez14 on at

Chicken Pot Pie

I love to eat homemade chicken pot pie when the weather is cool out.  It is so simple and this recipe makes 2 13″ pies or 2 small casserole pans.  I always make one for that evening and the second I put in an aluminum pan and freeze.  This is a great money saving meal and tastes even better the next day heated up.  This recipe costs just $10.00 for 16 servings that is $1.60 per serving and is a complete meal.

Chicken Pot Pie
Note-I have used rotisserie chicken and chicken bullion instead of boiling the chicken and the flavor is almost identical.

1 whole fryer or 8 pieces (whatever is cheaper)
6 Stalks of Celery2 Onions
1/2 Stick (4T) of Butter (Use real butter it gives it such a richer taste.)
1 Small package of Frozen Peas
4 Carrots or 1 package of Matchstick carrots
1/4 C. Flour
2 C. Chicken Stock or broth reserved from boiling the chicken
1 C. Half and Half or Evaporated milk
1 Sprig or Thyme or 1 T.
Pie Crust Recipe to Follow

Roughly chop up 4 stalks of celery, 1 onion, and 1 carrot add it to a large stock pot of water with the cut up fryer or chicken pieces add salt and pepper and 1/2 of the thyme.  Bring to a boil and cook for 2 hours.  After 2 hours you should see that the meat is cooked thoroughly.  At this point the chicken should be falling of the bone.  Take the chicken out of the pot and sit it on a large platter to cool.  After it is cooled debone the chicken and sit it aside.

Chop up the remaining celery, onion, carrots and thyme.  Melt the butter over medium heat add all the remaining vegetables including the peas to the melted butter.  Cook for 5-10 minutes stirring frequently until you see that the onion is translucent.  Add the Chicken and stir to combine.  Sprinkle the flour over the mixture stir it gently and let it cook for a few minutes.  Pour in the 2 cups of reserved chicken stock from boiling the chicken.  Pour in the half and half or evaporated milk turn the mixture to low and allow it to come together add more salt and pepper if needed taste to see if it is to your liking.  Pour the half of the chicken mixture into a deep dish pie pan or casserole.  Pour the other half into an aluminum pan.

Roll out the pie crust so that its 1 inch larger then the pan.  Place the pie crust over the chicken mixture.  Cut small slits in the top so steam can escape.  Press the crust gently into the sides of the dish to seal.

Bake for 40 minutes at 375 F or until the crust is golden brown.  Cool for 15 minutes this step is very important to ensure when you cut into it, it doesn’t run.

Perfect Pie Crust
makes 2 pie crusts

I double the recipe and make 4 pie crusts at a time and freeze them individually inside gallon ziploc bags.  Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough out after it is inside the ziploc bag and write on the outside of bag what is inside and the date so later on you don’t have mystery in your freezer.  When you are ready to use the dough set it out on the counter for half an hour or so and then it will be ready to roll out on floured surface.  It is actually easier to roll the chilled dough then room tempurture

3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
1 egg
5 Tablespoons of cold water
1 Tablespoon distilled vinegar

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.  Add the shortening using a pasty cutter until the mixture resembles tiny rocks this should take about 5 minutes.  Lightly beat the egg then add the egg to the mixture.  Next add the cold water and vinegar.  Stir the mixture together until its just combined.  Then divide the dough so that you have 2 crusts.  Roll out on a lightly floured surface.

Crock Pot Shells and Cheese

By Kristin from Couponing to Disney on at


DSC_0032

This recipe keeps it simple and the result is delicious, thick and creamy shells and cheese. No need to boil the noodles first and dirty up an extra pot, just dump your ingredients in your trusty slow cooker and you’re good to go. This recipe would work just as easy with elbow macaroni too!

Ingredients

  • 1-16 ounce box of shells
  • ½ stick of butter
  • 1 stick of cream cheese
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1-12 ounce can of evaporated milk
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Lightly butter your Crockpot and dump all of your ingredients in at once. Set on high for one hour, check back often to stir and ensure ingredients are melting and mixing together well. Cook for an additional hour on low temperature continuing to stir occasionally. After two hours your noodles should be cooked and the sauce should be thick and creamy. Additional time may be necessary depending on your crock pots cooking capacity and what temperature it generates.

Citrus Spiced Pork Chops

As I mentioned before, my friend Tammy visited me recently.  The last night she was here, she made these citrus spiced pork chops.  They were SO YUMMY!!  I know the name sounds a little strange, but trust me, you will LOVE these pork chops, too.

Kristin’s Kitchen: Citrus Spiced Pork Chops
Recipe Type: Dinner
Author: couponingtodisney.com
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork chops (approx)
  • (could also use chicken instead of pork)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix all of the liquids together.
  3. Whisk spices into the liquid mixture.
  4. Pour over pork chops.
  5. Bake for 30-45 minutes (or until the pork chops are done).

Money saving tip:
Cook in the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours. The house won’t heat up from the oven being on!

A GREAT tip for marinated meats (which you can see I did in the picture): Put the meat in a gallon size ziploc freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the meat. Flatten as best you can. Sqeeze as much air out as you can. Freeze flat. Just pull it out of the freezer and put in fridge the night before you want to cook it.
