Sunday Meals

For those of us who don't have the fancy ovens that turn on and off at the appropriate times, here are a few Sunday meals that can be coking while we are at church.

BB's Chicken and Rice

1 whole cut-up chicken or 6 chicken breasts
3 cups rice
3 cups chicken broth
3 cans chopped chilies (they are very mild; they just add a little zip to the dish.)
1 1/2 cups sour cream 1 family-sized can cream of chicken soup

Pour the rice into an 11x14 dish; set aside. In a bowl, put chicken broth, chilies, sour cream, and soup. Mix well. Pour 3/4 of mixture over rice. Place chicken on top of rice. Pour remaining mixture over chicken. Cover with foil. Place in 325 degree oven for 3 to 3 1/2 shours Serves 6-7.

On-the-Go Roast

3 lbs. beef or pork roast
5-6 medium potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups baby carrots (pre-peeled)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 family-sized cans cream of mushroom soup

Extras:
Fresh mushrooms
Fresh cabbage, cubed
Parsnips
Rutabagas

In a large (11x14) roasting pan, place roast, potatoes, carrots and onion. Sprinkle onion soup all over and spread mushroom soup all over. Cover with foil, place in a 350 degree oven and cook for at least 4-5 hours. With this recipe, there is no need to make gravy; it is already done for you. Serves 6.

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

Kansas City Barbeque Briset

1 beef brisket (3-5 lbs)
1 onion cut into rings
16 oz. barbeque sauce, divided
