Answer 1

This is sooo easy~ nothing like a one pan meal!
To a roasting pan add 3 tbls olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 chopped onion, 6 cubed potatoes (skins on is great), 1 diced green pepper, 2 diced tomatoes, 6 pieces chicken or Italian sausages (cut in 3rds).
Add salt & pepper to taste plus 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp cumin, and a dash of celery seed (or use any spices you prefer- this isn't set in stone). Toss to coat meat and veggies.
Cover pan and roast in 350f oven until potatoes are soft and meat juices run clear- just over an hour. Be sure to toss them once during cooking time.
This is so simple and you can change the dish by changing the meats, veggies, and/or spice mix to suit your taste.

Answer 2

Sausage and Potato Casserole

4-6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch (3 cm) pieces
2 onions, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8-12 pork sausages such as Italian sausages
4-6 baking potatoes, peeled if desired and thinly sliced
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried sage
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup (375 ml) chicken stock or water

Fry the bacon in a large skillet over moderate heat until crisp.
Transfer to paper towels to drain and saute the onion and garlic
in the same skillet until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a plate and set aside. Fry the sausages in the same
skillet until browned on both sides - there is no need to cook
them completely at this stage. Layer the potatoes in a greased
baking dish, top with the bacon and onion mixture, season with
sage, salt, and pepper, and top with the sausages. Add the stock
and bake tightly covered in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until
the potatoes are tender and the sausages are cooked through,
about 1 hour. Serves 4 to 6.

Answer 3

Well it depends on where you live, but if it's cold double up on a 5 can soup recipe, my kids really go for it. It's like a can of stewed tomatoes, cream of corn soup, Progresso Ministrone, Veg All and kidney beans. You can double the recipe if kids are bigger and believe it or not - it's actually really good. Another we like to do is mixing mild salsa, rice, black beans, chopped green peppers and using the mixture for burritos - sprinkle cheddar on the mixture and microwave in the burrito until the cheese melts. you can add any meat you like. But, it's sounds simple and questionable - but actually very good. Those are the simplest I know that my kids and hubby really like.

Answer 4

My favourite recipe is just stir-fried veges in a wok served with rice. You can use any veges you have in the fridge, and flavour them with soy sauce or chilli sauce if you like.

Answer 5

can't go wrong with good old spaghetti w/meat sauce, or mini meat balls. I use a lean ground beef, for meat sauce. add bread crumbs or crushed saltine crackers and an egg, some salt/pepper, little garlic powder, and after browning return to sauce....if you really want to stretch it, add sauce to pasta, mix, sprinkle w/Parmesan cheese, some garlic bread if you like....most kids love spaghetti, good belly warmer!
