For dinner one night, I made Baked Chicken with Bacon Bottom and Wild Rice. The bottom and sides of the pan are covered with peppered bacon, then the rice and a soup-based filling is placed on top, and then topped with chicken tenders.

This was easy to make and the bacon infused a smoky and saltiness to the rice. My only problem was I used the size dish it said to and it overflowed in the oven and caused all sorts of problems (like smoke detectors going off.) So I would recommend putting a cookie sheet on the rack underneath this so you’re not making a mess.

Another night, my husband made Grilled Raspberry Chipotle Pork Tenderloin. The pork marinates in a sauce overnight, and then is basted a bit with the sauce again and then grilled. Everyone seemed to like it really well and the pork had a good flavor.

For some simple yet stylish country dishes, give this one a try!
