Quick, traditional meals?

Question

My boyfriend lives with his father and brother and none of them are traditional cooks but I have been brought up eating mostly fresh produce and traditional home cooked meals.

I like to cook for them twice a week instead of eating all the frozen, non nutricious stuff that they are used to.

So far I've made Chicken Korma, Spagetti Bolgonaise and Sausage & mash with onion gravey.

I love cooking but I have limited ideas because I don't know how to cook much else apart from roast dinner. Help? It needs to be pretty quick to make like 1 hour including preperation.

Answer 1

boscaiola pasta
saute garlic and onion in fry pan (we use 5 cloves and 1 white onion diced)
Add lots of bacon and mushrooms. Add cream when bacon and mushrooms have cooked for a few mins, thickened cream that is.. simmer for 15 mins. Add a handful of cheese when sauce is simmering and hot. Boil up ur favourite pasta. Chopped spring onions to top it off. Add milk to the sauce when hot if u want more liquid.. Easy and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty. Parmesan cheese if desired :) GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 2

Skillet Meatloaf

1 lb gound beef
1 small can tomato sauce
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 cup of chopped bell peppers and onion mixed
1 pkg dry brown gravy mix

Mix beff, sauce, soup and vegetables together and form into patties. In skillet; brown patties on both sides. Prepare gravy and pour over patties. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes, covered. Serve with potatoes:

Parmesan Potato Rounds

• 4 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 3 Tbls butter or margarine, melted
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp salt

Place half of the potatoes in a greased 2-qt. or 11x7” baking dish. Top with onions and remaining potatoes; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender.

When I am out of ideas I like this website: http://allrecipes.com/ it is full of good stuff. Just put in the ingredients you have on hand in the ingredient search and it will give you a list of nice recipes.

As for quick ones I know, you can do nice fajitas and nachos in 30 minutes, a nice salmon in 30 minutes (crusted salmon, my crush mainly made of cream crackers, lemon juice, melted butter, coriander leaves, parsley, garlic and grated cheddar), an healthy couscous or a rice casserole.
