My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Chili Soup

1 Tbs butter
1 C chicken, chopped (I usually start with it cooked)
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 C chicken broth (or 2 cans)
2 cans Great Northern Beans, rinsed/drained
1 spoonful jalapenos, diced
1 can (8oz) diced green chilies
3 tsp cumin
1 - 1 1/2 tsp oregano
3 C shredded Monterey Jack (or I use a mozerella/sharp cheddar combo)
1/2 C sour cream

Saute chicken, onion, garlic in butter. Add, broth, beans, jalapenos, chilies, cumin, oregano. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add cheese and sour cream and stir until cheese is melted.

WOW...this went over well. It was so good. I haven't tried it without the chicken yet but that will be my next experiment. I will update if it works well ;)

Main Dish Crepes

Crepes
1 C flour
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt

Mix with whisk and cook. Makes 14-16.

Filling
1 C frozen peas
1 (15oz) can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can of milk (reduce or add till you reach desired consistency)
1/2 C sour cream
1 C cheddar cheese
Mix. You can add shredded chicken if you'd like, this will also thicken the consistency a bit. Recipe is forgiving so you don't need exact amounts. They are a tad runny/thin so I usually make enough for everyone to have a few.
Spread filling onto crepes and roll up. Place in 9x13 greased pan. Top with cheese and left over filling. Bake at 300 for about 20 minutes.
