Chicken Pepper Sandwiches w/ German Potato Salad

For the sandwiches:

4 teaspoons olive oil
4 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 reserved cooked chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
1 cup diced chorizo or andouille sausage
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper
4 long rolls (submarine or hoagie rolls)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and saute 5 minutes, until tender. Remove half of the peppers from skillet and set aside.

Add onion and saute 3 minutes, until soft. Add sliced chicken and sausage and balsamic vinegar. Cook 2 minutes to heat through. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

For the potato salad:

6 small to medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped green onions
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crisp
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil

To make the potato salad, place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour over enough water to cover. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil 8 minutes, until fork tender. Drain and while still warm, transfer to a large bowl and add onions, cooked bacon, vinegar, and oil. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Hamburger Casserole

YUM!!!

1 pound lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)

1 cup chopped onion
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 teaspoonsWorcestershire sauce (or to taste)
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, or 1 can (15 ounce), drained
16 ounces diced frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed, or about 3 to 4 cups diced or sliced raw potato (I used the raw potato)
1/4 cup flour
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups shredded sharp or mild Cheddar cheese
Combine beef, onion, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine corn, potatoes, flour, melted butter, and chopped green bell pepper.

Because my turkey was frozen I actually cooked it in a frying pan and added in the ingredients there before baking.  If it had been thawed I would have just put it in the dish and baked. 

Pat the beef mixture into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; top with the corn and potato mixture. Bake uncovered at 375° for 45 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese and bake ground beef casserole 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until browned and potatoes are tender.
