1 can french style green beans, drained
1 small can tomato sauce
1 tsp garlic powder

Directions
Take both cans of Crescent Rolls and separate each roll. Take a pie plate and layer each roll from the top of plate down using the largest part of the roll at the top. As you go you are forming a piecrust with the rolls and you should pinch together as you go. You may have one or two rolls remaining that you will not need to use, but can separate and piece in where needed. DO NOT take all rolls and try to roll out as one piece because it does not work as well.
Next, take a medium skillet and brown the ground chuck and drain off grease if any. Take the small can of tomato sauce and pour into meat mixture. Next add drained can of french style green beans, pepper, salt, garlic power and Italian Seasonings. Stir all together and simmer on medium for 5-10 min while you are finishing up piecrust.
Take piecrust you made of crescent rolls and pour the beaten egg in pan. Use a paper towel or a small pastry brush and spread egg on bottom of uncooked crust and all edges. Then take 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and spread on bottom of piecrust.
Next, take skillet meat mixture and pour into piecrust. Spread until all is smooth and bake at 350 for approximately 20-25 minutes. You should be cooking until meat mixture starts bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and take remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top of cooked pie and it will melt while cooling. Enjoy.

1 large jar mixed beans
2 large cans white chicken breast drained
2 cans diced tomatoes with onions
1 can diced tomatoes with mild green chili peppers
1 can chicken broth
1 large jar salsa with black beans and corn, mild, medium or spicy
1 cup sour cream or 1 can cream of chicken soup

Directions
Use a large soup kettle or pan. Open the cans and jars and pour all into the soup kettle. Make sure to drain the canned chicken breast. Stir and season with salt and pepper as desired. Heat thoroughly. Great with tortilla chips and you may serve with a dot of sour cream on top. Living in southern Michigan we love this on a cold winter day. It has become our favorite over traditional chili.
