Tired of Take-Out. Anyone Got Some Easy Recipes?

[toss]

Nice!!!

I see a lot of good stuff in here. Some of the recipes seem too exotic to me though. (Doritos Soup anyone?) And half the recipes have beans in them. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You can buy 2 minute microwavable rice now, in all kinds of flavours/styles. Stock up on some of those and cans of tuna. One package of rice, nuked, with one can or tuna "scraped" out of the can on top. Add pepper. Makes two servings.
Maybe pickle on the side.

Those microwavable rice packets are awesome! I keep a bunch of those, and some seasoned chicken around, it's a quick, easy, and really good meal.

Buy this book. It's exactly what you'd want in a first cookbook - lots of simple recipes, and good explanations for those that're a little more complicated.

1 box of rice with beef (riceroni or whatever that is)
1 pound beef

Mix the rice and beef before you cook it an make meatballs out of it about 1/2 inch to an inch in size. Then boil it for 45 minutes in about 5 cups of water. Add the beef flavoring packet with about 10 minutes to go and you end up with a bunch of rice/meatballs in gavy (may need to add a little four to thicken).

Scoop that over instant potatos.

mmmm, mmmm, good and easy to microwave leftovers.

My favorite is to fry up some chicken cubes ( do not over cook), while boiling some rigatoni. Then heat some chunky tomatoe sause. Once the chicken is fried( very slightly under cooked) add it to the tomatoe sause. Let the chicken cook a little more in sause for another 20-30. Then strian the rigatoni and WHAM! Easy hearty meal! for less then 10 beans.

I am a die hard bachelor who hates to cook but this always works well.

Why can't you spell sauce correctly? Just once? I'm so aggravated.

I just went out to the grocery store myself. I think the Hamburger helper meals are pretty good and easy to make. The chicken fried rice is probably my favorite one. I also make spaghetti a lot, that's pretty easy and healthy.

Pasta, baked beans, and grate some cheese on top, which melts.

Delicious.

Chicken Spanish Rice:
Make some packaged spanish rice (zatarains is a good brand, rice-a-roni is alright). In another pan cube and cook some boneless chicken breasts. When rice is done mix chicken and rice, throw in some grated cheese, top with crushed Doritoes and bake for about 20 minutes or so. Easy and good.
