Itailan Nachos

Matt and I love the Italian Nachos at our little restaurant in town.  I thought I would give it a try.  I'm glad I did they turned out really good.

1 bag of Thin Tortilla Chips
Jar of Alfredo Sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Sliced olives
Banana Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
Fresh diced Tomatoes
Cooked, Shredded Chicken

Layer it all.  I did the whole bag of chips, some cheese then the Alfredo sauce, chicken then the rest.  topped with more cheese.  I baked it at 300 for about 20 minutes or until it is all melty and gooey.

Skillet Spaghetti

7 oz. pkg. thin spaghetti noodles
1 ground beef or Sausage
salt and pepper
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/4 c. sour cream
8 oz. cottage cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce

Cook spaghetti noodles and drain.  Cook meat.  I cooked the meat in my big cast iron skillet.  Drain the meat then add the cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese until all is melted and well mixed together.  Then add sauce.  Start with half a jar and see how much more you want.  Add the spaghetti mix well all together and top with cheese.  Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.

Crocpot Creamy Tortillini

1 bag of frozen tortellini
Couple Handfulls of fresh spinach
2 cans of Italian style diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
4 cups or chicken broth
1 block of cream cheese (8 oz), cut into cubes
1 lb. sausage

Brown the sausage and put all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on low for 3-4 hrs. If you don't add the spinach at the beginning, add it ~1 hour before serving. If the 'sauce' is too thin, leave the lid off during the last 1/2 hour of cooking and it will thicken slightly. I topped mine with some grated Parmesan cheese.
