Any dinner ideas?

Question

I need to make a quick cheap meal for 5 every night after work, any sugestions?

Answer 1

The usual, spagetti, kraft dinner, burgers and hotdogs are all easy and quick.

I like taco salad. You get all of your taco toppings chopped up: tomatoes, lettuce, green onion, and your beef cooked.

Then crush up tortilla chips (the kind you dip in salsa) at the bottom of a bowl, then add your beef. In whatever order you want you can add the rest of the stuff, including the sauce.

The 'sauce' is ( you can just use salsa) but it's good to mix it with manoynaise. It sounds gross but it's good.

Not really a fast of a meal but it's simple and healthy.

You can also just have all of the toppings on the table and people can just put in whatever they want in whatever order they want in whatever ratio they want into their own bowl......now I'm hungry.

Answer 2

um.. well it depends on what you consider cheap... and the age of the 5 people... a good example could be making a big pot of spaghetti.. i mean unless you buy noodles imported from Italy then how expensive could it be? Here is what i do when i cook for my family of six (my mom works alot so i cook for her) Okay take a big pot maybe 12 inches in diameter... put in the noodles w/ olive oil and let cook... for the sauce one can of prego (any type) and a pound of ground beef... cook the meat first for like ten minutes then add the sauce let cook for five minutes... by this time the noodles are done and after the meat sauce is done then add the two and serve with cheese... garlic bread is optional... okay this feeds all of my family and we usually have leftovers... just an idea... there is always fast food... Not bad for a 15 year old huh?

Answer 3

Ok, indgredients: 2 rotorissee chickens (Pre-cooked in supermarket). I onion, celery, cherry tomatos. Italian style bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese, mayo and yellow mustard. Pull the white and dark (Dark has more flavor b/c it's close to the bone). Put all meat into bowl. Add all wet ingedients and then the dry. Add some dried or fresh oregano. Mix all up. Make into patties and saute in sauce pan with olive oil until seach side is crusty and you achieve a dark brown crips on each side. (Note) Cut tomato in half. Buy some spanish rice (It's cheaper). Or the uncle bun's minute rice in the microwave.
