In looking over the Holiday Recipe guide, I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to make. Everything looked so good! On a whim, this morning I decided to go with the Pear Oven Pancake, and I am so glad I did! It was very easy to make, and took very little time--which is exactly what I have been looking for over the past few months. My husband, who is a picky breakfast eater, loved it and requested I put it into our breakfast rotation.
Since we were so pleased with our breakfast choice, I decided to go ahead and change up our dinner plans and include "The Cooking Milk" in our meal. I scrapped our plan of Enchiladas, and went with Mexican Chicken Casserole instead. I've never used evaporated milk in this dish, but it added a creamier finished product that we all really enjoyed. I would say Carnation Evaporated Milk may just be an added staple to my pantry.
Mexican Chicken Casserole
2 cups cooked/diced chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced onions
1 can Ro-Tel
1 can cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 (12oz) can Carnation Evap. Milk
Shredded Cheese
Doritos
Saute the diced onions in EVOO. While the onions on sauteeing, make up your cream soups. When I made this dish, I made the cream of chicken soup (I melted 2 Tbsp butter, and stirred in 2 Tbsp flour until a paste formed. Added in a dash of garlic powder and a dash of parsley. Slowly stir in roughly 2/3 cup homemade chicken broth. Cook until thickened.) and used store bought cream of mushroom soup, since my husband isn't big on the strong mushroomy flavor of the homemade version (I can hide it in some dishes, but didn't think this would be one). If you are using store bought, add both cans to a sauce pot and stir until combined. Add in the evaporated milk and Ro-Tel. Warm until the flavors are meshed.
Layer crushed Dorito chips in the bottom of a 9x13 pan, and top with diced chicken. Pour sauce mixture over the chicken and top with additional crushed chips and shredded cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 350° oven. Top with sour cream and shredded lettuce. Enjoy!

First of all, good for you! I am glad you were able to participate in a One2One Network project. Sounds like a fun project to do!! The recipes sound great and I will have to check out that cookbook!! Great recipes and great post. Good job!!
I keep evaporated milk on hand and use it almost exclusively when I make quiche. The recipes you made sound very yummy - I'll have to check into more of them. Thanks!
Yum! I have a casserole fairly similar and it is devoured!! :D
I make a similar hotdish... yum!
I know what I'm having for dinner tonight. I actually have all these items already on hand. The children will love it.

Thanks for the great recipes. I have never used "the cooking milk" before except in pumpkin pie after reading your post yesterday I went to the website down loaded the book and had the Thai Chicken last night using chicken breast. We then had the pear pancake for dessert. I will be making the potatoes tonight and the hash brown and ham tomorrow night. I will also be trying your enchiladas I do a similar one but this sounds really yummy. Thanks again.
P.S. I wanted to throw in that my 2 year olds name is Phoebe and my maiden name is Hendrix and I grew up in Illinois. Mu parents live in Southern Illinois right now we hope to be there next year. Thought it was a neat coincidence.
I use powdered and evaporaed milk quite often. Here are some of the recipes I use them in:
