Ingredient of the Month is a unique way to feature different local as well as worldwide ingredients and to invite A Lot on Your Plate reader’s from all over, to share their recipes based on the ingredient chosen each month.

The recipes shared by you guys will be added to the post that not only links you to recipes of my own featuring the ingredient of the month, but offers background history of the ingredient as well as fun facts, information, origin, how to store and select, and different uses for the ingredient.

To Enter Your Recipe: To enter your recipe so it can be added to the post, just follow the link and leave a comment at ALotOnYourPlate.com with a link to your recipe attached and I will be sure to feature your recipe in the post (with a picture provided from your post).  *Please note: I can only feature recipes that use the actual ingredient of the month in the recipe.

You will always have a chance to add your recipe to the any of the Ingredient of the Month post’s.  These post’s will never close and will continue to grow as long as recipes are entered!

Anyway, I just thought this was a fun way to spread the word of all the fabulous recipes out there on WordPress as well as all over the internet.

Recipes like these are perfect after a long day at work, when you want to whip something up quick for the family that tastes great and doesn’t consume a lot of time. This is my twist to the KFC Mash Potato Bowl.

What you will need: 

1 box of garlic mashed potatoes of your choice

1 can of corn

1 can of gravy

1 cup of shredded cheese of your choice

Optional: 1 can of gravy

1. Prepare the chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn as directed on the packages.

1.  In a medium-sized bowl, scoop a layer of mashed potatoes.

2.  After draining the corn, layer the corn on top of the mash.

3. Cutting the chicken into pieces (this is optional, but the strips I had bought were pretty big), and layer on tops of the corn.

4. Top the chicken with a layer of shredded cheese.  Place back in the oven for a minute or 2 until the cheese is completely melted.  You can also place the bowl into the microwave for 1 minute if you already turned the oven off.

5.  Add gravy to the top of the bowl and serve!
