Serves 6-8

Ingredients

Directions

1. Melt the butter & combine with the stuffing mix.
2. Combine wine & cream of chicken soup.
3. In a casserole dish, cover chicken with a slice of cheese each.
4. Pour over the wine & soup mixture, then the stuffing.
5. Bake uncovered at 350° F. for 45 minutes.

Chef’s Note: My family has been enjoying eMeals for a few months now (my review of eMeals can be read here), and recently we had our first meal that called for wine.  The kids loved the Swiss Chicken, but I thought the stuffing was rather dry (and burnt, in some areas). Next time we have this meal, I’d like to cover the dish with aluminum foil to see if the stuffing could remain moist. Also, my wife just grabbed a bottle of wine from the basement (it was a bottle from my recent shipment from Laithwaites wine club) – I wonder how a different white wine would change this dish?

Serves: Depends how large you make the meatballs

Ingredients

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with ground pork. Mix thoroughly together to combine. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards if you mix with your hands.
2. Blend eggs, bread crumbs, oatmeal, Parmesan cheese, onion soup mix, garlic, parsley, & Italian seasoning. Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients together. Take the mixture and form into balls. Set aside & cover with a towel.
3. In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil of your choice and butter until the butter starts to foam. Place meatballs one at a time into the skillet & keep rolling around to brown all sides evenly.
4. Set aside the browned meatballs on a paper towel lined plate to drain. You can now add the meatballs to your sauce to finish cooking.

Chef’s Note: The meatballs may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator until you’re ready to finish cooking. You can also use this mixture to make hamburgers for grilling.
