What should i make?

Question

I am going to make my b/f a meal.. Now i really don't know how to cook very well but i really want to do this. So what is a perfect meal that isn't hard to make?

Answer 1

The easiest home cooked meal. Mix 1 pound ground beef with a can of diced tomatoes, a small palm full of onion powder, garlic powder, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Form into a loaf and put it in the oven on 350 for about 45 minutes. Put 4 nice sized peeled potatoes in a pot of boiling water and boil for about 20 minutes. In another pot put about 3 pats of butter and cut a few rings of onion to put in there. Cook the onion until soft and then add 2 cans of green beans, drained of the liquid they come in. Add one can of water, a small palm full of salt, and a good pinch of pepper and let boil until the meat loaf is ready. Drain the potatoes of the water, and smash them with a potato masher, adding just enough milk to make them creamy, a few pats of butter and salt and pepper to taste. You can add a garden salad, (they come already in a bag) and something really good to drink, (red wine if you prefer) and make it a good night.

Answer 2

A sandwich. No, just kidding.

Roasts are generally easy because you just put them in the oven and bake. Get a good cut so it will be tender. Ask your butcher for a suggestion. Get a meat thermometer and pop the roast in the oven at 450 degrees for 10 minutes and then reduce to 350 degrees. I believe it's usually about 15 minutes per pound of roast depending on how well you want it done. Again, your butcher should be able to give you advice on this. When the meat thermometer is about 5 degrees below the amount of doneness you want, remove the roast. The roast will continue to cook a little once it's outside of the oven. Let sit 10-15 minutes before cutting. Toss some potatoes on the rack next to the roast to make baked potatoes. The potatoes need about an hour to cook. Just wash the potatoes and poke with a fork a few times before putting them in the oven.

Answer 3

Mashed potatoes & Hellman's Crunchy Chicken:

Peel & boil about 6 large potatoes. When cooked, drain off water, mash potatoes well using a potato masher. Add about 1 tbsp. butter or margarine, 2 slices processed sliced cheese, about 1/4 cup sour cream & just enough milk to moisten to your liking.

Wash & season with salt & pepper 2 whole chicken legs, skins removed. Coat chicken with Hellman's regular mayonnaise, then coat chicken with italian style bread crumbs. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F, bake chicken for 45 mins to 1 hour. Bake covered with foil until last 15 minutes, remove covering.
