Anyone have any simple recipes for dinner?

No shell fish, pork or spaghetti. Thanks a lot!Anyone have any simple recipes for dinner?
Shepards Pie.


I work 2 jobs, and I got 2 kids, 2 dogs and a husband... I dont always have time to cook a long big dinner..


But something that usually fills us up... and is mostly cooked in one dish makes my life a WHOLE lot easier,


Brown 1# ground Beef, Drain.


Add 1 ( aprox 16oz) Jar of Beef Gravy. and 1 bag of thawed frozen veggies ( of your preference) , Mix until it is all heated.


Dump meat veggie mix into a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle some greated cheese, Were thinking layers now.. like a lasagna.


I like to do a layer of stuffing ( espically if I use chunks or ground chicken and gravy) * I use stove top, prepare as directed on package , then smooth over layer of cheese, finally top with a layer of prepared mashed potatoes... I use instant... flavored with garlic , but real mashed is great too...


pop in the oven for 45 min @ 350... add some biskets... and enjoy!!Anyone have any simple recipes for dinner?
I mean that in addition to the shepards pie, make some can or frozen rolls/biskets.. to compliment the meal. Also a side salad would work as well, glad you liked the TIP!! Report Abuse

When I am in a hurry and don't want to put forth a lot of effort I make salmon. You can pan fry it, bake it, or George Foreman grill it. Just put some olive oil on it and cook until it passes the fork test. That is until the layers of fish are easy to separate with a fork and are opaque/milky. Don't overcook.





Garlic butter. I use smart balance to go along with the whole health theme of fish. Just microwave some in a small dish for a few seconds with garlic powder are onion powder. Make sure you cover with a saucer in the microwave or most of it won't be in the dish.





I Like to serve with brown rice left overs or whole grain pasta noodles. Just put some olive oil Garlic/onion powder and maybe some basil on it. (brown rice as left overs because it takes 45 min to boil it) Whole wheat pasta is fast.





Frozen Vegetables. Just pop them in the microwave covered with a splash of water. NOTE: corn is not a vegetable.

Aha... kosher and tired of spaghetti? lol





If you have a crockpot, put in there: Chicken pieces, carrots, potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, thyme and one can chicken broth. Sprinkle with envelope dry onion soup mix. Cook on low all day or high 4 to 5 hours.





If you don't have a slow cooker, the put the same in the oven at 350 degrees for two hours.





Also good is 1lb stew beef, 2 bags frozen stew or soup vegetables, one can diced tomatoes, one envelope dry onion soup mix, stir and either do slow-cooker all day on low or 3 hours at 300 degrees (covered) in regular oven.





My personal favorite easy dinner requires a quick stop at the local grocery that has a salad bar. I get a 1lb package of beef or chicken strips (thin cut like for fajitas/stir-fry) and then hit the salad bar for sliced onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, anything you like... then take it home and stir fry it (meat first in hot oiled skillet or wok, then add veggies), add a little soy sauce and then serve over ramen (3 minutes) or rice (get the boil in bag kind)
