1pks, elbows...cooked
1-2 cans tomato soup
sm. onion
oregano
salt and pepper
Brown the ground beef with the onions...cook elbows, add to beef mixture. Add the soup, tsp. oregano, salt and pepper to taste, heat through...
Quick, easy, and inexpensive!!I need some inexpensive easy recipes for dinners!?
make a box of macoronni and cheese and then add a can of cream of mushroom soup, then a can of peas or veggie of choice, then a can of tuna, then cheese of choice I prefer colbyjack, then pop it in the oven to melt the cheese. Quick and easy.
Got a crock pot? Buy liners for it made by Reynolds (foil folks). Liners help with easy clean up.
Baked Steak:
Round steak, cut in strips
Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
Lipton's Dried Onion Soup Mix
Mushrooms, optional
PUT LINER IN CROCK POT! Mix soup and onion mix together. Put round steak in crock pot. Pour soup mixture over top. Cook on low while you are at work.
**You can even add chunked potatoes and baby carrots in the crock pot first, then the steak for a complete meal.
Variation:
Stew Meat, instead of Round steak
Tomato Paste
Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
Potatoes, not peeled
Baby Carrots
Lipton's Herb Mix is good over chicken in a crock pot, plain or with a can of cream of celery soup.
You can do potatoes, beans and lots of other vegetables, too. Even desserts! Rival has a lot of great cookbooks.
Not everything has to be made with soup. Just season and toss in....WITH A LINER!
Make friends with your crock pot. It will help you keep you sanity.
Congratulations on such a sweet little guy!
If you've just had a baby and are going back to work, the odds are good that you're going to be too pooped at the end of the day to do anything elaborate for dinner. Make the cooking chores easy on yourself by using good pre-cooked deli and frozen foods and adding your own special touchs. Make your microwave your best friend, and things will be a lot easier.
For example, buy an already-roasted chicken from the deli and improvise a quick cherry sauce by using canned dark cherries from which you've drained the juice. Thicken the juice in the microwave with a little cornstarch, and add the cherries to it. Heat through, and serve over the chicken. With a loaf of garlic bread and a green salad, it's a great quick meal.
Add thin sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage to already-prepared German style potato salad and heat briefly in the microwave. Serve with hot rolls and sliced tomatoes or cole slaw.
Another favorite around here is Mandarin Orange and Chicken salad. Using a bag of pre-washed spinach salad as your base, add a can of well-drained Mandarin oranges and some slivered almonds or chopped pecans. Top with breaded chicken nuggets, and just before serving, drizzle with your favorite raspberry vinagrette or sesame dressing. All you need is rolls or bread sticks for a complete meal.
And consider cooking a large batch of chili or soup on the weekends, then freezing part of it for later. It's perfect for those days when you drag in so tired that the first person who says, ';When's dinner?'; is in serious danger of losing HIS life. ;-) With a pan of cornbread made quickly from a mix or a platter of cold cuts for sandwiches, it's like getting the night off from kitchen duty.
Spaghetti %26amp; meatballs.
www.dreamdinners.com. It was a life saver when I was pregnant and just after the baby was born. I would get mom to watch the little for a couple of hours and go assemble about a months worth of dinners at a time. Then you just sock them in the freezer and it's quick prep when you get home. It gives you a few hours of ';me'; time too. Sort of.
