Friday - Date Night
***Happy 6th birthday to our sweet nephew, Andrew!
Saturday - Hamburger Vegetable soup
Sunday - Baked Salmon with asparagus
Rotel Chicken Spaghetti
4 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 box spaghetti
1 stick of butter
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped bell pepper
8 oz sour cream
1 lb Velveeta cheese
1 can Rotel tomatoes
Crushed Ritz crackers (topping)
Cover chicken with water and boil with salt and pepper to done. Remove chicken from broth (keep broth) and set aside to cool. Chop when cool. Cook spaghetti in chicken broth per package directions. Meanwhile, sauté bell pepper and onion in 1/2 stick of butter or oil until onions are clear. Cut up Velveeta and melt in microwave with Rotel tomatoes. Add sautéed onion and bell pepper to cheese mixture. Mix chicken, spaghetti, sour cream and cheese mixture in large bowl. Pour into 9x13 casserole dish. Melt 1/2 stick of butter and mix with crushed ritz crackers for topping. Add topping to casserole. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
*We use whole wheat spaghetti, reduced-fat sour cream, and 2 % Velveeta to make it a little healthier. It's still very yummy! :)

Thanks for sharing the recipe. This is one of the reasons I enjoy MPM.
Now that we're part of the many unemployed I'm always looking for economic and healthy recipes and grocery shopping tips.
