Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Chicken Potato Cheesy Bake

When you make this....and trust me, you will WANT to make this....you're going to wonder where it's been all your life because that's exactly what I thought! Aside from cooking a little bacon in a skillet, all of this goes into the pan you're baking it in for one simple, delicious dinner! This is something the WHOLE family will love...over and over!

Chicken Potato Cheesy Bake



2 large potatoes ~ diced
2 chicken breasts ~ diced
3 cups shredded cheese
3 green onions ~ chopped
1/2 pound bacon ~ diced and cooked crisp
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter ~ cut into pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Scatter half of the diced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.

Then scatter half of the diced chicken on top of the potatoes then salt and pepper.

Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese then half of the bacon and half of the green onions.
