Chicken Enchildas (from Charity)

10 small or large soft tortillas
5 grilled chicken tenderloins (shredded)
1 package of mexican blend cheese
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of red sauce

Preheat Oven to 350

Saute chicken until cooked through then either shred or chop up chicken (depending on how you like it).
Mix chicken, soup and sauce in a medium size bowl
Spread mixture on tortillas and add cheese. Roll up tortillas and place in a greased pan. Once you have finished rolling up all tortillas, smear remaining sauce mixture on top of tortillas and sprinkle cheese on top of that. Bake for 20-25 mins or until cheese thoroughly melts. You can make this even healthier by using lowfat products. Add chips, salsa, spanish rice. Enjoy!

Meatloaf (from Tonya)
1 lb. ground beef (93% lean)
1/4 teaspoon of salt (I didn't put that much in)
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 chopped green pepper
1 egg lightly beaten
8 oz canned diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup quick cooking oats...

Topping:
1/3 cup barbecue sauce...(you can use ketchup, but I like it so much better with barbecue sauce!)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
* We like it better when we double the topping part of the recipe and make it into two layers. If you just put the barbecue sauce on top, you don't taste it as much...(if that makes sense). So, I put one half in the middle of the ground beef and put the other layer on top to make it even better! Either way, it is good though.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix all the meatloaf ingredients well and place in a baking dish. Shape into a loaf.
Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf.
Bake for one hour.
