I don't remember who gave me this recipe so if it was you, claim it!

4-6 pork chops, loin or chicken
1 small jar of apricot jam
1 bottle of Russian dressing
1 packet of onion soup mix

Put meat in greased 9 X 13 pan. Mix jam, dressing, soup mix in small sauce pan until warm. Pour over meat and bake at 350 for 45-60 mins. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

Delicious Chicken Enchiladas

1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1 C. picante sauce
2 t. chili powder
2- 3 chicken breasts

Mix above except chicken. Place chicken in crockpot and pour 1 cup of above mixture over it (reserve the rest in the fridge). Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Shred chicken and roll into tortillas with cheese. Fill 9 X 13 pan and pour remaining picante sauce mixture over all. Top with a little more shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 40 mins. These are especially yummy with diced tomato, shredded lettuce and a little sour cream on top.

Chicken and Stuffing Bake

This is definitely one of my easy go to recipes

3 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 box of stuffing mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 C - 1 C sour cream (just throw in a few big spoonfuls)
milk

Place chicken breasts in greased 9 X 13 pan. mix soup, sour cream, and milk - adding enough milk to make a gravy consistency. Pour over chicken. Pour box of stuffing mix on top (just dry). Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 mins. Then remove foil and bake for 20 mins more. This is so filling with the stuffing that I just serve it with a vegetable and bread.

Swedish Meatballs

Hello.. Hello? Anyone checking this? Well this is another one of the lovely mother-in-law's recipes. I just made them the other day and my boys loved them. Plus it makes a bunch so you can freeze some for future dinners. Awesome!

Swedish Meatballs

2 lbs lean hamburger
1 lb sausage
2 T. minced onions
1 C bread crumbs
salt and pepper (a little of each)
3 eggs
3 t. allspice
3/4 C canned milk

Mix allspice and bread crumbs together so that it distributes more evenly to the meat. Throw everything together in a big bowl and mix it with your hands until nicely blended. Roll into small balls and place on cookie sheet lined with tin foil. You can put them pretty close together since they actually shrink during cooking. Bake at 325 for 25 mins. They should be brown in color. Drain on paper towels. This should make almost 75 meatballs. I usually use around 25 per dinner and then put 50 more into sandwich bags (25 in each) and throw in the freezer for future dinners.

Gravy:
1 can cream of mushroom soup, water and milk (enough to cover meatballs - I usually throw everything in the crockpot to heat up) simmer sauce for 1/2 hour or so. Thicken with cornstarch - more than normal and then add 1/2 C sour cream.

Serve over mashed potatoes. mmmm.. So yummy!
