Chef Boyardee House Party

Have you heard about House Party.com? They are a website that manufactures use to get their products into the hands of the public and create lots of buzz about them. When you have a house party, the manufacture sends you a party kit that includes hostess gifts, gifts for the guests, and free items to use at the party. If the party revolves around food, you get free coupons to purchase the food for the party.

In the case of the Chef Boyardee House Party I had last weekend, I received 6 coupons, each good for one can of Chef Boyardee Pasta. There were also cents off coupons for the guests. Here’s what else the party pack included:

An insulated lunch bag & a chef’s hat for the hostess and Chef Boyardee notepads for the guests. The House Party website also helps you party plan with lots of downloadable activities and party ideas.

Out of the 6 recipes included for me to try, I picked the Ravioli Lasagna and the Taco Roni to make

My 15 yo daughter volunteered to do the cooking for the party. She even took pictures while she was cooking! That’s my daughter! lol

I doubled each of the recipes, so keep that in mind if you make these. The lasagna recipe, for example, makes an 8×8″ pan, but I doubled and baked it in a 13×9″ pan.

Here are the ingredients for the Ravioli Lasagna:

You mix the canned ravioli with diced tomatoes then layer in the pan with cottage cheese. The recipe called for spinach, too, but some of my guests didn’t like spinach in their lasagna, so I left it out.

Then top with mozzarella cheese, and bake!

The Taco Roni was equally as easy. You mixed Beef a Roni with diced tomatoes, corn and blacked beans (recipe called for canned, but I used some out of the freezer).

You cooked this on top of the stove for a few minutes.

Then placed in a bowl and topped with cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

I served these with bread and cucumber & tomatoes from our garden lightly coated with Italian Dressing.

Everyone loved these quick and easy dishes! There was nothing left!

You can get all the recipes on Chef Boyardee’s Recipe Page.
