1 pound of cooked meat (You can roast the chicken on the bone and pull the meat off, or use rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken. You can also use 1 pound of ground beef or turkey.)
1) 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1) Package of taco seasoning
8 oz+ sour cream
3 cups uncooked corkscrew pasta, yield about 6 cups cooked
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Mix the cooked chicken, sauce and seasoning. Boil the pasta. While the pasta is still hot mix in the sour cream and about ¾ cup of cheese – just make sure that all the pasta is really well coated in sour cream, so you may need a bit more than 8 oz. Pour this mixture into a baking dish. Top with the meat and sauce mixture. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 350 for about ½ hour.

Baked French Onion Soup
6 large white onions, thinly sliced

9 cups beef broth
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 slices white bread

Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove the crusts from slices of white bread. Bake bread pieces 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden and crisped. Set aside.
Sauté sliced onions in olive oil over medium heat until onions become translucent but not brown. Add minced garlic cloves to onions during last few minutes, making sure garlic does not brown.
Stir in beef broth and seasonings. Minor’s concentrated beef stock works well for this recipe. If using, follow directions on label for reconstituting. Otherwise use canned or homemade beef broth.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste adding salt and pepper as required. Remember that Parmesan cheese is salty, so don't overdo with the salt.
Ladle the soup into ovenproof serving bowls, one for each serving. Cover soup with a slice of bread. Top with provolone and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Place serving bowls under broiler set on high. Broil six to seven minutes or until cheese is bubbly and has some browning.
