Full Plate Thursday Where The Greatest Cooks On The Planet Gather

Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, I sure am glad to see you today. I know that some of you are having some real bad weather and aren't able to get out and about. We on the other hand are have a beautiful day and able to go out in the garden. We are getting ready for the Big Game this weekend although our team won't be playing we will still be watching the game with friends. I am sharing my Chilies and Queso Skillet that will be on the table for the game this weekend. I can't wait to see what you are sharing with us today, so lets get this party started!

Chilies and Queso Skillet

Chilies and Queso Skillet

I love this Chilies and Queso Skillet , it is easy to put together and stays in the same skillet for serving. South of the border Mexican flavors from a special blend of peppers and season set this dish apart from the average Tex Mex recipe. If you don't want to use it as a dip, just put it between two tortillas, warm in a skillet it makes a fabulous Quesadilla. Serve it on the top of chicken or steak, these flavors will make any dish special. We love this versatile skillet full of goodness and hope you will too.

Spanish Rice Casserole

My Mother made the best Spanish Rice and growing up it was one of my favorites. When I went out on my own and married I began to make my Mothers Spanish Rice and I just kept adding to it, so today it has become Spanish Rice Casserole. I still love this casserole it is so full of flavor and it freezes for up to 3 months. This casserole is still one of my favorites and sure hope that you enjoy it.

Rosemary Potato Casserole

Rosemary Potato Casserole is a great casserole that can be made with fresh mashed potatoes or left over mashed potatoes. It has a great flavor and is a real comfort dish. I have taken this potato dish to many covered dish functions and don't recall bringing home any left overs. Through the years we have used different herbs and seasons but the rosemary is one our favorites. I am very happy to share one of our favorites with you today and sure hope you enjoy it.
