What's a good dinner recipe that yeilds a lot of leftovers for a busy week (Something with a little ambition)?

Question

"Intelligent," why would you post such a "stupid answer? You act like it's a woman's job to cook for men, instead an act of kindness. I don't give a SH*T whether or not you like casseroles and if my boyfriend doesn't, then he don't have to eat it! It was nice enough for me to go out of my way on my birthday to make dinner because we both had a really busy week. Next time, keep your bigot answers to yourself....

Answer 1

Make a lasagna! That's what I'm doing tonight. It takes a little time to prepare, but I usually eat off of it for at least three days. It seems like it always tastes better reheated too! Leave a msg if interested in recipe @ my 360 page.

Chicken Ritz Casserole

Ingredients:
5-6 chicken breasts, cooked
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cheddar broccoli soup
about 1/4 soup can of milk
1-1/2 c. sour cream
2 c. cooked minute rice (1 c. prior to cooking)
dash salt and pepper
30 to 40 Ritz crackers, crumbled
Butter
Cooking Instructions:

Black Bean Soup
Black bean soup is a great side, or main course, to a Texas-style or mexican meal. The best black bean soup is made with dried black beans, rather than canned. Be sure to pick through the dried beans carefully to remove any split kernels or tiny rocks that sometimes get mixed in.
•1 pound dried black beans
•1/4 cup olive oil
•1/4 pound bacon
•1/4 pound diced ham
•4 onions, chopped
•4 garlic cloves, minced
•3 stalks celery including leaves, chopped
•1-1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
•1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•2 teaspoons ground cumin
•3 quarts chicken broth
•1/4 cup dry white wine
•1/2 cup dry sherry
Wash black beans, cover with water and allow to soak overnight; rinse; drain; set aside.
Pour oil into a large soup pot. Add the bacon, ham, onion, garlic and celery. Cook at high simmer until vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes. Add beans, rice, seasonings, and broth to soup pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
Let soup cool; put through the blender a little at a time, until smooth. Return to soup pot; reheat on low about 45 minutes, adding wine and sherry. Serve hot.

Answer 6

Remember girls - - GUYS do NOT like caseroles. No matter what they say to "keep the peace" ::::::: Guys do Not like caseroles. We don't want out food mixed together like it has been pre-digested for us. We don't like it. Trying to plan leftover "weeks" is really pretty dumb. You would accomplish the same by cooking 3 meals each night on the weekend and packaging two to be quick fixed during the week. Pre-planning leftovers is another thing a Guy Hates. Why think in the "stupid" box that came about with the advent of "caseroles". News Flash - We hate them. Get the best guys in the best mood with a little pre-planning that takes you to the same place.

Answer 7

I would say a nice large pan of lasagna,,,,,I have been known to make a lazy lasagna too,,, all the same ingredient, just all thrown into a pot and mixed up. Instead of lasagna pasta, I used rigatoni.

Answer 8

Spaghetti Sauce!

Answer 9

We do this every weekend. It usually ends up being pasta, chili, stew, soup, or meatloaf. Sometimes I get ambitious and make tuna casserole or lasagna rolls. Occasionally, I get REALLY ambitious and do stuffed peppers or cabbage rolls.

Just a few suggestions. :-)

Answer 10

Make a big pot of curry and rice
A big pot of stew
A pot of pasta sauce ( Spaghetti cooks fast).
