So....no cooking tonight!

Greg has a meeting tonight, and the girls and I are going to Disney On Ice; therefore, McDonalds it is!

Family Favorite...Tacos

Tonight's dinner was nothing special--just a family favorite that is easy, and we fall back on it frequently.  Faith would prefer to have Tacos once, if not twice, a week.  Faith and Greg prefer the ground beef tacos, Alicynn loves chicken tacos and I enjoy both types of meats.  Every time I make tacos it seems I forget something, and tonight was no exception...I forgot to get lettuce.

Cheesy Chicken Ranch Lasagna

Star rating: 4.5 (chicken needed more flavor)


Cheesy Chicken Ranch Lasagna
Tonight for dinner I decided to make a new meal that I found on Pinterest.  According to my family (lately) any time I am making a new recipe, they ask, "Pinterest?" Well tonight, I made cheesy chicken ranch lasagna, and it was a hit.  Everyone went for seconds.  This recipe will be made again.

Ingredients
· 2 (12 oz) cans evaporated milk
· 1 (1 oz) pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix (not the dip blend)
· 3 Cup cubed, cooked chicken
· 1 (16oz) lasagna noodles, cooked (about 9 noodles)
· 1 1/2 - 2 Cups cheddar cheese, grated
· 1 1/2 - 2 Cups mozzarella cheese, grated
Directions
·     Combine evaporated milk and Ranch dressing in a 3 quart heavy saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently until dry ingredients are dissolved. Simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes, stirring frequently.
·     Sauce will thicken slightly.
·     Cook lasagna noodles.
·     Layer half of lasagna noodles, chicken, sauce, and cheese in well-greased 9×13 pan.
·     Repeat layers again.
·     Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
    Let rest 10 minutes before serving
