Happy Election Day- I hope!
Here it is election day. I personally can't wait for it to be over. I have had enough of all this negativity and am ready to move on. I thought I would get away from all the news and just share a couple more new recipes with everyone. I found a great dinner recipe that mom used to make all the time and I also have a dessert recipe for you that a wonderful friend always made for work parties. Enjoy!

Chicken Cacciatore

21/2-3 pounds broiler-fryer chicken,cut
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup flour
2 cups sliced onions
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 can (11oz.) tomatoes, drained
1 can (8oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (3oz.) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. oregano

Wash chicken and pat dry. Melt shortening in any large skillet. Coat chicken pieces with flour. Cook chicken in shortening over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until light brown. Remove chicken and set aside. Add onions, green peppers and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients. Add chicken to sauce. Cover tightly; simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until thickest pieces are fork tender. Serve with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

Cheesecake Brownies

1 package (9x13) brownie mix

Make brownie mix according to package directions. Spread half the mixture in greased 9x13 pan.
In a small bowl:
6oz. softened cream cheese

Beat these 4 ingredients until smooth. Pour over brownie mix in the pan. Spoon remaining brownie mixture over the top and swirl with a knife to marbelize. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool and chill for 1 hour. Cut into bars and enjoy.

Have a great day!
