Answer 1

Beef and Mac
2lbs of ground beef/chuck, 1 can tomatoe paste, 1 can of spagetti sauce-garlic&onion flavored, 1lb of macaroni noodles, 1 can of diced tomatoes, add cheese (as much or little as you like). Cook beef, boil noodles until tender, heat the sauces together, combine all ingredents w/the canned tomatoes, add cheese. You can have corn on the cob as a side dish.

Hamburger steak-dinner
2lbs gorund beef/chuck, 2 packs of brown gravy mix: add seaonigs like Mrs. Dash "salt-free" to ground beef, make medium (kinda flatten patties), cook them as if they were hamburgrs (until slighty done). Drain and add gravy mix & water, chop an onion, cook under medium low heat untile the gravy thickens.
** Serve w/rice and string beans

Sloppy Joe
1 can of Manwhich, 1-2 lbs of gound beef-depending on your taste, 1 tablespoon of brown suger, l can of tomatoe paste, 1/2 teasppon of garlic powder, 1/2 of an onion or small onion. Salt to taste(your discretion). Put them on hamburger buns. *** Serve with baked french fries.

Turkey Tacos- substitue ground chuck for ground turkey, use the same recipie. Make Mexican Rice to go w/it.

Cream of Mushroom Chicken
1 large can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, add to Seasoned (w/Mrs. Dash salt-free) chicken breast, a little bit of seasoned salt, 1 onion, and 1 bell pepper. bake about 1hr and 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350. **serve w/ rice and steamed brocolli.

DESSERTS: peach cobbler (I like southern peach cobbler, it may be a little too high in fat, so surf the web to get an easy low cal recipie)
apple crunch
(buy the mix-usually found in produce section, follow directions, add over granny-smith apples.)
Baked apples
Ppeel six granny smith apples (add them to cold water as you peel, so that they don't brown), add 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablepoon of lemon juice/extract, 1 tablesppon of vanilla, 4 1/2 cups of water. Bake UNCOVERED @ 325 for 45 min.-1 hr depending on your oven. The apples should shrival a little-YOU DO WANT THEM TO STAY FIRM, turn them w/a spatula twice through the cooking process.

Answer 2

The quickest and easiest meals sometimes are the best.
I say get a pot roast, brown it on both sides, put it in the crockpot along with 1 can beef broth and seasoning of your choice (I like to add a little red cooking wine) and cook 6-8 hours depending on size. During the last 45 min add a pkg of baby carrots. During the last 25 min add potatoes. thicken the broth into gravy if you like, serve with a green salad and there you go.

1-15.5oz can of diced tomatoes,use a kind with seasoning in it
1- 15.5oz can of whole kernal corn
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Combine all ingredients in crock pot or skillet,omit 1 cup of water for the two combined boxes of hamburger helper.use the juice in the tomatoes,drain the corn.Cook until pasta is almost done and sauce begins to thicken.Add the shredded cheese and continue to cook until the sauce thickens and cheese melts.I usually put a lid on after I add the cheese so it melts a little faster.My kids love this and they get their veggies in.Happy eating

Answer 5

This is an old standby we use in my home
