Tender BBQ Drumsticks

These baked chicken drumsticks are delicious! I found a recipe on allrecipes.com and tweaked it to better fit out family's tastes. The meat falls right off the bone with this slow cooking method, and you can add any seasonings of your choice. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

• cooking spray 
• 5 pounds chicken drumsticks 
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning 
• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute instead)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste 
• 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour 
• 1 cup barbeque sauce 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease a baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange chicken drumsticks on the baking pan. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over chicken. Sprinkle flour on top. Spray cooking spray over chicken. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and spread barbeque sauce evenly over chicken. Continue baking, uncovered, until chicken is tender and falling off the bone, about 30 minutes more.

We served with corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and biscuits. Yum!

Yummy Beef Enchiladas

Our family loves these delicious and easy beef enchiladas!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef 
• 1/4 onion, finely chopped 
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 
• 1/2 cup sour cream 
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley 
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning 
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano 
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 
•  2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 
• 1 clove garlic, minced 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 8 flour tortillas 
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 
• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained 
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
