got 2 hours to make dinner before missus gets home ,what shall i cook ?

Answer 1

I have to agree with all the Sapghetti Bol's out there, quick and easy and you can't get it wrong, even if ya do, just sprinkle loads of parmesean cheese over it and it'll taste just as good too.... oh and it always looks like a lovely meal too.

Answer 2

Well not sure the ingredients in your home but a nice one dish casserole (Chicken and rice bake)would do the trick. Less mess to clean up and you can spend some time with the missus.

1 c. uncooked rice
1 can cream of chicken soup, or cream of mushroom
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 pounds cut up chicken or chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste


Wash and drain rice. Spread in 9 x 13 inch baking dish or 3 quart casserole. Mix soup, Italian dressing mix and water. Stir into rice. Lay chicken, skin side up, on top of rice mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and cook for 1 hour at 350°. Uncover and cook for 20 minutes longer; until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Put casserole under broiler for a few seconds to brown chicken.
Serves 6 to 8.

Answer 4

Jambalaya - really easy I'm cooking it tonight.

Some chicken and/or smoked sausage (v nice) and/or shrimp and/or anything else you have. Fry in oil, add some garlic, onion, green pepper and celery (if you have it). Spice with 1/2 tsp chlli powder and 1/2 tsp cheyenne pepper. Add tin chopped tomatoes.

In last 20mins, add 3 cups water (or stock) and 1 cup of rice. Bring to boil, stir and simmer until rice cooked. Add more liquid if required but you don't want a soup.

Delish....serve with a little green salad. Make sure you don't under-spice this dish

Answer 5

Quick - if you can, get to a Marks and Spencers (or a Waitrose, if you haven't got an M&S nearby) and get a variety of ready-to-go meals in there. And a salad too - a Greek one is nice, and get some extra feta cheese to crumble and sprinkle across the top. Then go home and pretend you made it all yourself. I recommend the summer puddings for dessert (bish them a bit to make it look like you did it yourself).

If you can't be bothered, make really nice chips at home. Mmmm, lovely chunky fresh-cooked chips are lovely.

Answer 6

This'll floor you! :
Grate a load of cheddar cheese, then make a pint of plain white sauce *(2oz butter, 2oz SR flour and 1pt milk - but add a heaped teaspoon of dry mustard powder to the flour)* then chuck the cheese into it. When she comes home, reheat your (now!) cheese sauce, do some toast and pour the sauce over it. Serve with Worcs Sauce or a dash of Tabasco. Hey presto: Instant (but home-made) Welsh Rarebit!!!
* If you've got a microwave, using full power all the time, melt the butter in a jug 1min, add the flour and mustard, stir, m/w1min, stir, add milk whilst stirring a bit, m/w2mins, scrape from inside of jug then whisk, m/w2min, same again - DONE !
Make no mistake - give her that and you'll be on to a dead cert tonight!!!

Brown off some mince and add tinned tomatoes, garlic, chopped peppers and mushrooms. Leave to simmer for 1 hour, whilst cooking up some pasta.(Your choice). Add some kidney beans, or ordinary beans if thats all you've got, sprinkle with cheese and serve with a glass of wine. She'll be putty in your hands....!

One of the easiest things to make is a pasta dish of some sort, like lasagna or spaghetti with a nice tossed green salad and some warm bread.

You could also make a chicken dish, like baked chicken and rice.
