Working all day in the wild, wild west is tiring. That's why our cowboy recipes are filled to the brim with meat, cheese, and flavor. They'll really hit the spot just when you need it most. We start off with ground beef casseroles. From a tater tot casserole to a beef casserole with cornbread, these dinners will surely fill you up. Next, you'll find chicken casserole recipes with a Mexican influence. I hope you like it hot, 'cause that's what you're gonna get. Further down, you'll see side dishes with...beans! Baked beans, black beans, red beans...you find 'em all right here. There's even some bacon thrown in a few of the dishes - score!

Though a cowboy's dinner is extremely important, he wouldn't be able to have a good day at work without breakfast. A good breakfast will ensure his day starts out on the right track. We have three breakfast options to choose from. The first is a delicious French toast casserole that uses thick slices of Texas toast instead of plain white bread. The second option is a colorful plate of breakfast nachos. Made with tortilla chips, eggs, cheese, and your favorite toppings, this dish is as pretty as a picture. Last but not least, you'll find a recipe for breakfast enchiladas, which are stuffed with the omelet fillings of your choice and covered with an egg custard. Yippee-kai-yay! What will you eat first?
