Question

What is a good recipe for a family that is fairly quick and economical to make?

Answer 1

Mexican Soup


In a crock pot (or stock pot if you want to use the stove), cook dried pinto beans according to directions. When beans are almost fully softened, add approx 1 clove of garlic (I use minced).
Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain.
When beans are cooked through, add ground beef,1 packet of taco seasoning, rice (I honestly use minute rice here, but its your choice. Also, make sure you have enough liquid in you beans to account for the rice absorbtion! More liquid if you want a lot of broth in your soup, less if you want it thick.)and rotel tomatoes.

Cook on med.-high until rice is cooked through.


The quantities on the soup are fairly simple. For every pound of dried beans, I use a pound of burger and 1 cup of uncooked rice. One pound of beans/ meat will make approx 8 very nice sized servings.

Ok, that said: I cook my beans in the crock pot on low all night and all the next day while I am at work so they are really tender. When I get home from work, I put the beans in a stock pot and bring to a boil, cook the meat and add it, the rice, the rotels, and seasoning then. Again, I use minute rice so it will be done faster. (Usually about 15 minutes or so after all is added.)

Answer 2

Buy a whole chicken. Wash it, take out the guts, pat dry.
Place chicken in casserole dish, rub with olive oil and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoning or spice of your choice. Place a pad of butter or two inside the chicken. Bake at 400' for about an hour depending on size of bird. About half way through its great to baste it with the juices in the pan to help brown it.
Serve with some rice and broccoli. This is my daughters favorite meal and it's healthier then most too!
