What can i make for dinner thats quick and easy?

Answer 1

Try one of my recipes below if you'd like.

Cheddar Potato Pie

1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
1 cup chopped onion (red, white or brown. Minced can be used instead)
1/3 cup Bullseye Bold bbq sauce, Honey Smoke or Original flavor
2 cups hot mashed potatoes (use 3 cups or more for a thicker potato covering)
1 package pre-shredded cheese, Mexican blend, 4-cheese variety, or cheddar jack blend
1 package pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can pre-sliced black olives for garnish, if desired

Brown meat, seasoning with black pepper, seasoned salt & garlic powder & add onion (if using minced onion, add ½ thru cooking time. If garlic salt is used, omit seasoned salt) Drain all grease. Add bbq sauce & stir thoroughly. Pour meat into bottom of casserole dish. Add 1 large handful of both cheeses. Cover to allow cheese to melt. Prepare potatoes according to package directions & omit salt. If salt is used in the potatoes, your pie will end up salty. Spread hot potatoes over melted meat & cheese, covering completely. Use another large handful of both cheeses on top. Heat in microwave about 5 minutes to heat through. Use a large serving spoon to serve pie. Garnish with black olives if desired.

Tip: don’t use too much cheese. I have & it’s made it greasy. The salt from the potatoes ruined one of my pies when making this recipe once. So I’ve learned to leave it out. Garlic & seasoned salt as well as the taco seasoning will also make the pie salty. That’s why garlic powder is the best option.



Hamburger or Chicken Casserole

1 lb lean ground beef, 15% fat is best, or ground chuck
OR
2-3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 boxes Rice-a-Roni, 1 box broccoli au gratin (6.5 oz size), 1 box rice pilaf or chicken broccoli flavor (use this flavor only when using chicken) (7.2 oz size)
4 oz of Velveeta cheese, cubed or chunked

Prepare Rice-a-Roni flavors almost according to directions, omitting ¼ cup of the water. Use only 4 cups water. Reduce cooking time to 15 minutes. When done, rice will look sort of wet. Remove from heat & add Velveeta cubes or chunks. Cover to allow Velveeta to melt. If using hamburger, fry with fresh red, white or brown onion. Minced can be substituted. Flavor hamburger with garlic powder, black pepper & seasoned salt to taste. Use seasoned salt with care. Too much will make this dish salty (the seasoning from the rice-a-roni has salt in it). If using chicken, bake in oven, seasoning the top of the chicken breasts only. Cut chicken into small pieces or chunks. Add hamburger or chicken to rice, stirring well.

Serve with your favorite vegetable or salad.

Total cook & prep time, 1 hour. More time is needed if chicken or hamburger is frozen. When I make this with chicken, I send them through the defrost cycle on the microwave, then bake for 40-50 minutes. While it’s baking, I prepare the rice. If I’m using hamburger, I cook the rice first.
