I doubt it.

I had to Google 'cresent rolls'. Turns out 'crescent rolls' are some
Pillsbury(R) product. To be honest the whole recipe sounds really icky (to
me). Of course I could be wrong...

Doesn't sound so horrible to me. A little sherry or brandy would
really perk it up. I'd backward engineer and make it from scratch
though. That's what I do with King Ranch Chicken.

Yeah, I would think some sherry would work well in this recipe. I haven't
had an appetite in so long, something easy like this just about appeals to
me. I've got *no* energy anymore and I usually, ahem (sorry), end up
involuntarily "disposing" whatever I eat, so if something kinda hits the
spot, I go with it. I may just give this a try if I feel up to it. Sounds
like simple comfort food to me.

Yabut, if I am not mistaken, King Ranch Chicken generally calls for corn
tortillas? I fail to see how the crescent rolls won't turn into a
real 'soggy mess' (whether you 'smother' them with the soup mix or not).
But.. each to their own <shrug>

Personally, I think I'd make the sauce and pour it over rice. Kind of like
a chicken ala king, thing. I'd probably add more veggies and definitely
sherry. I'm really in the mood for something like that as tacky as it may
be.

I'd leave the dough flat and put it on top of everything else (it
would be a crust), Cathy. I doubt they'd get soggy... at least pie
crust doesn't, so it would be worth a try.

Seems like any other "glop on puff pastry" rendition, many
of which are considered haute cuisine.

The recipe sounds kind of trashtastic, to me. If somebody cooked it, I
would eat it!

The King Ranch recipe has several variations one of the most common is
substituting tortilla chips for the tortillas.

3 lbs. chicken breasts, or 1 whole
chicken, cooked, reserving one cup broth
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
2 tbsp. margarine
1 tsp. chili powder
Dash garlic salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10 oz.) Rotel tomatoes and
green chilies, drained and crushed
1/2 lb. Cheddar cheese, grated
12 corn tortillas, cut into strips

Bone chicken and cut into bite size pieces. Sauté onion and green pepper
in margarine. Combine chili powder, garlic salt, soups, broth and Rotel.
Place 1/2 of chicken in a large casserole; top with 1/2 soup mixture,
tortilla strips, onion and green pepper, then cheese. Repeat layers. Cook
covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake an additional
15 minutes. (*You can also use flour tortillas instead of corn.) Serves 8.
Sylvia Michalewicz

# 2

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 pt. sour cream
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 c. cooked chicken
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
12 corn tortillas, cut into sm. pieces
1 can chicken broth

Soak tortilla pieces in chicken broth. Combine mushroom soup, chicken
soup, Rotel tomatoes, cooked chicken, onion and green pepper. In large
baking dish layer soup mixture, tortillas, sour cream, and cheeses. Bake at
350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves 6.

I don't recall mentioning the term 'tacky', but if that's what you think, so
be it. Soggy crescent rolls just don't appeal to me, that's all. IME, corn
tortillas wouldn't get too soggy, so I guess that's why they are usually
used for King Ranch Chicken. However, making the sauce and pouring it over
rice sounds OK. And yes, more veggies and a bit of sherry wouldn't hurt
either.

No, you didn't say "tacky", *I* was just thinking that that's what everybody
ELSE was thinking. Sometimes simple is good and easy. But, yeah, over
rice, I think it would be good.

Trashtastic, I LOVE it! lol That should be in the title of the dish. To
the doubters, the rolls really weren't mush. Maybe in a few places, but not
total mush. Reminded me of pot pie, which is what I was going for. I like
the idea of making it all from scratch. Might try that some time.

Doesn't bother me a bit! Actually I like feedback of all kinds. If not for
her replies, the rest may not have even come. I don't pretend that I'm a
super cook, but I like to try things and cooking for one sometimes the easy
way is the only way to get a home cooked meal. Otherwise it's a sandwich or
salad or something not even requiring cooking.

My husband would LOVE this. I might make it up and let him eat it a couple
of nights
in a row so I can have seafood. (He LOVES chicken, and loves recipes made
with soup,
loves flaky crescents, too. He will hardly eat any vegetables but loves
broc. I like seafood
a lot better than chicken or beef, but don't like to make something for me
that he won't eat.
This would solve that.) By "seafood" I mean something very simple like
broiled salmon or
scallops and snowpeas in garlic butter over rice. Or CATFISH! I love
catfish, deepfried.

I'm not a super cook either, (far from it) but what I have learned over the
years is that home cooking can be really fun as well as lot tastier (and
even healthier) than living on fast food and/or TV dinners 24/7. Stick
around here long enough and you'll get some good tips and recipes - because
there *are* many 'super cooks' here, and they've given me some great advice
over the last few years (and a lot them do the 'cooking for one' thing
too).

Well, I certainly hope no one follows your advice. The group would
become as useless as rec.food.recipes with no clues to distinguish
between good recipes and bad ones. Here, if someone posts a recipe
that features using canned soup to make canned crescent rolls soggy
they should expect someone else to point out the obvious. Then if a
third someone makes a suggestion as to how to use the same ingredient
but impronve the result, like roll out the dough and use it as a
topping, then there's a new idea floating around to consider. Much
more interesting than passivity for the sake of superficial

Your opinion is only yours, and NOT as good as Cathy's. Her opinion
is realistic. Your opinion reflects Pollyannaism. That ain't goona
work here. The recipe in question sucked. Any recipe that includes a
can of soup sucks. Whatever is said here is subject to criticism. If
you can't handle that then you should go back to playing with
children.

And What Cathy said was far from ugly.

The recipe did not suck, maybe you don't care for it, but others did.
Your opinion,her opinion, my opinion are based on our personal
likes and dislikes..Your opinion that anything that includes a can of
soup sucks , reeks of food snobism. Lighten up. I have been around
here for a long long time ,seen every possible recipe come through,
and some are good and some , even those that do not include a can of
soup are awful.


In my opinion , what she said was ugly. In yours it wasn't. So???

---------------------
Absolutely! I never thought about using the rolls as a topping, so that was
useful to me. Same taste, different look. And more veggies. And reading
here I'll probably even find a good cream sauce that would work in place of
the trashtastic lol canned soup.

Good old velouté sauce will be perfect, IMO.... you can richen it up
with some cream if you want do deal with the additional calories.
Add mushrooms or not, but you can get pretty fancy for not much $$ if
you buy a packet of mixed wild mushrooms. In fact, if you can find
them, sliced, dried button mushrooms have an incredible musthroomy
flavor.

Why does your quoting have all those question marks in it? I didn't
ask and questions. Is this another reason people hate google?

It was a hotdish. Not a recipe.

Thanks for the compliment. After all, this is a food group.

Your skin should have grown a bit thicker by now then.

Even the OP seems to have decided to replace the can of soup.

It sounds like a decent recipe to me. If you liked it, that is all that
counts. You only have to please yourself. Right now I am living 'La
Vita Low Carb', so I can not have the crescent rolls. I believe I could
eat the rest of the recipe, though. lol
