Family Favorites

Ok, so these aren't mine and not my ideas, but they've been made for years and always good. These are my comfort foods.

Russian Chicken, I'm not sure where my mom got this one, but it's so good!
Ingredients:
1 bottle of Russian dressing (wishbone is the only brand I can find, and the small bottle is just right)
1/2 jar apricot preserves, (1/2 of a big jar, if it's a small one use all of it)
2 Tablespoons onion soup mix
1/2 white onion sliced, use them even if you don't eat them, pick them out later, they give it a better taste
2-4 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1 inch thick
In a crockpot or roasting pan put chicken, onions and potatoes in bottom. Then mix dressing, preserves, and soup mix together in bowl and then pour over the chicken. Bake at 350 until chicken is done and potatoes are tender. If in crockpot it needs to cook at least 6 hours or until potatoes are done.

Hamburger Cassarole, this is basically shepards pie, but with a few differences. It looks kinda gross but is so good and the leftovers are better. I always eat it for breakfast the next day
Ingredients:
1 Lb ground beef, cooked crumbled and drained of fat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cans green beans
5 russet potatoes, boiled and mashed (mash with butter and sour cream and salt and pepper)
1/2 - 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Mix cream of mushroom with beef and spread out layer on bottom of cassarole dish. Put green beans over that into another layer. Spread mashed potatoes over the beans into an even layer, sprinkle cheese over that use more or less cheese as you want, I like a lot. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly and everything heated through. Let sit 10 mins before eating. You can also adjust to make more or less
