Chicken Wrapped with Bacon

Ingredients

2 packages Dried Beef
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4-6 slices bacon
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. sour cream
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (10 oz.)
Egg noodles

Spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick spray. Layer one package of the dried beef on the bottom of the crockpot. Wrap a piece of bacon around each chicken breast. If breast is very large cut in half. Place chicken wrapped in bacon in the crockpot, then spread the second package of dried beef on top.

Mix the flour and sour cream together, then add cream of mushroom soup together trying to not leave many lumps. Pour over the chicken and dried beef. Turn crockpot on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

Prepare egg noodles according to directions and pour sauce over top of the chicken and noodles and enjoy!

Shrimp Po' Boys

Thanks to George-Anne for the Rachael Ray cookbook where I found this recipe!

Ingredients

• Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk, eyeball it
• 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, deveined
• Salt
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup cornmeal or bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning a couple of palm fulls (recommended: Old Bay)
• 4 soft club rolls or sub rolls, split
• 1 beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced
• 8 pieces Bibb or butter lettuce *I used shredded romaine
  
• 1 lemon cut into wedges
• 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish *if you don't like sweet pickle relish but like regular pickles give it a try for the extra zip!
  
• 1/2 cup spicy, grainy mustard
• Few drops hot sauce

Directions

Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Beat egg and milk together. Pull tails off shrimp. Salt shrimp then soak in milk batter. Before you begin breading the shrimp, cover a plate with plastic wrap for easy clean up then mix together the flour, cornmeal or bread crumbs and seafood seasoning on the plate. Using tongs, remove a few shrimp at a time and coat in breading. Add breaded shrimp to the hot oil and fry them 5 to 6 minutes or until firm and deeply golden all over.

Pile lettuce and tomato on rolls and top with shrimp, douse the shrimp with a little lemon juice. Mix relish, mustard and hot sauce and dot the roll tops with spoonfuls of the sauce before setting into place.
