Smothered Burritos


Smothered Burritos


This is a recipe my moms made for years thats in an old church cookbook, I wish people got together more often and made cookbooks, I can still remember when all the ladies from the church got together and made them! I was probably 7 or 8? I remember my friends and I getting to help with little things. Thats a fun goal I have for this year is putting together all of our family favorite recipes and making a cookbook for us all to have, Now I should probably get on that...😉.
I tweaked a few things from the original recipe but for the most part, its still the same.

Heres everything you'll need.

Dice your onions, sauce them and brown your meat.
Mix the sour cream and soups. 

Add water, taco seasoning, salsa, rice (or beans) and mix together. 

Add 1/3 cup meat mixture to 12 taco shells. 

Roll up the shells. 


Place all the shells in a greased 9x13 pan 

Spread sour cream and soup mixture over the top, it looks a little like you've frosted a cake😉.

Sprinkle your cheese and bake! 

And then...as your cleaning up realize you forgot one shell😏, don't do that😂.

Once you take it out of the oven let it rest a few minutes and then serve with your favorite toppings! 

 Ingredients:
12 flour tortillas
2 TBS of homemade taco seasoning or 1 pkg. of store bought
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (We used Colby jack)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (16oz.) carton sour cream
2lbs ground beef
3/4 cup water
1 cup Mexican rice or 1 can chili beans (Since I can't have beans we did rice)
1/2 cup salsa
2 cans cream of chicken soup

 Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cook rice as direction on package
Dice onion
Sauté onions for a couple minutes
Add meat and all spices except taco seasoning and brown
While meats browning mix sour cream and both cans of cream of chicken soup in a bowl
Drain
Add taco mix, water, rice OR chili beans, and salsa; mix well
Fill 12 tortillas with 1/3 cup taco meat mixture
Roll and place in a greased 9x13 pan (It may seem like they're not all going to fit, but its fine if they're scrunched together)
Pour sour cream/soup mixture over tortillas (Again, it may seem like there's alot, but thats why they're called smothered burritos!)
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the top
Bake 35 - 45 minus depending on your preferred doneness
Let sit a couple minutes and then serve with shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream
ENJOY!

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course). And now for the rest in really no particular order because I couldn’t possibly decide between them all🤷‍♀️. Peanut blossoms   Peanut butter cookies Peanut butter sandwich cookies Peanut butter bars -  Chocolate peanut butter bars   Chocolate scotcheroos  Chocolate peanut butter fudge  Peanut butter cups  Chocolate peanut butter pie  Peanut butter popcorn And lastly...if you want peanut butter but with a li...

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Life update + some new projects

Lifish update I’ll do a full “anniversary post” in July but I’ve just had a lot of thoughts lately about life, crohns, everything. To be honest I’ve had a lot of confusion and even discouragement which is not normally me. I’m coming up on two years and while I’m no where near how I was two years ago (I mean that was pretty bad...😳) I’m also nowhere near where I thought I would be, I remember thinking that on the year anniversary too and I kind of think that feeling has just progressed since then😕. I’m no better than I was 8 months ago to be completely honest with you and in some ways may or worse? I am so so thankful to have a diagnosis and know what’s wrong with me, but with that I thought would come answers and healing. I’ve had some answers and some healing of course, but there’s still really a lot of unknown! In the beginning I used to talk about finding my “new normal” well I’m here to tell you 2 years later I still haven’t found it😂. Learning to navigate something new ...
