Cowboy Potpie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. In a large skillet, thoroughly cook the ground beef. Drain and set aside. To drain I usually grab a mesh sieve and put it over a mason jar and let the meat set in it while I prepare the other ingredients.
• 3. In the same skillet, heat a small amount of cooking oil or butter and add the potatoes, carrots and onion. Cover and cook, stirring frequently so it doesn't burn. If necessary, add a tablespoon of water and recover.
• 4. In a blender or mixer pour ranch dressing, shredded cheese and start with 2 Tablespoons of milk. Blend until well combined. If it is too thick add more milk. It needs to be slightly running but still creamy.
• 5. When potatoes and carrots are cooked (soft) add the ground beef back to the skillet with the green beans. Stir together well and pour over the cheese-ranch mixture. Turn off heat and stir to thoroughly coat. Pour into a baking dish (I use a 8x8x2.5) with only the sides lightly greased. Mix baking mix, egg and milk until most of the lumps are gone and pour evenly over the baking dish. Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, until top is lightly golden brown. Allow to set about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook 4 to 5 min. or until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in skillet. Add peppers, red onions and corn; cook 4 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Add beans, barbecue sauce and chicken; mix lightly. Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Reserve 1 Tbsp. green onions for later use. Mix egg and sour cream in medium bowl until blended. Add muffin mix, remaining green onions and 1 cup cheese; stir just until blended. Spread evenly over chicken mixture. Place baking dish on baking sheet.
• Bake 25 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Top with remaining cheese; bake 5 min. or until melted. Sprinkle with reserved green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add smoked sausage, cook until browned. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper and cook until vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, tomatoes with their juice and beans. Cook for 3 - 5 minutes, until mixture starts to bubble. Turn off heat and stir in cheese.
• Mix jalapeno into the prepared corn muffin mix. Spread corn muffin batter over the mixture and bake until golden brown and cooked through, 20 - 25 minutes.
