Easy quick dinner Ideas

[Gunslinger]

A thread to share your quick easy to make dinner ideas for the lesser cooking type males:

Mine would have to be these two

2 loafs of french bread
2-3 lbs of deli roast beef
2 or 3 packs of swiss cheese (pepper jack works good too)
1 package of Aujus sauce (optional)

Make your standard sandwich wrap in foil place in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes.  Make the sauce as the package directs.



-White boy enchiladas

12 in tortillas
3 cans of enchilada sauce
3 pkgs of mexican cheese (the craft kind)
1lb of hamburger
1 onion

brown the beef....preheat the oven to 350.
mix in one can of sauce
chopp up the onion
sprinkle with a small handfull of cheese and half the onion
load up the tortillas
take a glass pan and dump on can of sauce in it
place the rolled tortillas in there and dump another can of sauce on it
dump remaining cheese on them
cook for 15-20 minutes


sorry I'm bored of cooking the same things for my kids when my wife works.  Anyone have anything else to share by all means

I have very easy steps to follow:[list=1]

• Buy twelve pack from corner store
• Open twelve pack
• Drink one beer
• Repeat Number 3 twelve times
• Cook Ramen noodles
• Eat Ramen noodles
• Go to bed
[/list=1]

Hahaha, although Gunslingers recipes sound great that whole 15-20 min wait thing throws me for a loop. Now on the other hand Drunky's meal plan works well for my lazy bellybutton after a long day at work.

[Lizking]

Kids are easy.

"Tortilla pizzas" (even better to let them make thier own):
Tortillas
Ragu type sauce
shredded cheese

Sppon the Ragu on, cover with cheese, broil.

"Nasty dogs"

Boiled hot dogs(I only eat turkey ones anymore)
buns
Canned chili
shredded cheese

Put the boiled dogs in the buns, cover with chili and cheese, broil till cooked.


"Breakfast for Dinner"

Eggs, bacon and bisquits, fast and easy.


"Chicken spaghetti"
Sub boneless chicken breasts for hamburger.

"Chinese"
Various ingredients, usually veges, but I have chinese bowls and chopsticks; there is no better inducement to get them to actually eat vegetables.

"You choose"
I let them fix what ever they want, within reason.

"Cubanos"
French bread loaf
coldcuts
cheese
make it as a loaf, broil it till melted, smash it flat and cut into 2" thick slices.

A. thats usually how I like my waitress.

[United]

Its all good.

I put that step in because here the boobies are rather small.

[RTStuka]

lol no truer words have been spoken.

Easy? After lunch start these, dinner will be ready before you think about it.

CROCK POT SLOPPY JOES

Makes: 6-8 servings

1-1/2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped  
1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (not so sure about that, never tried it)

Brown meat, onion, and celery until
meat loses its pink color. Drain off fat. Put meat
mixture into crock pot. Add remaining ingredients.
Stir. Cook on low for 3-4 hours

No chili sauce? Use a cup or so of ketchup. Serve with ice cold Miller Lite. (All other beers are good, just not as good as the best tasting domestic beer ever made.)

Rolling enchiladas is for sissies - you're gonna mess them up wihen you eat them anyway

Seriously, instead of rolling them I just make a casserole. This is recipe is sodium concious (if you're watching the bp)

2 lbs ground chuck
1 pack of taco seasoning( like taco bell or whatever)
12-14 cornt tortillas (Manny's seem to have the least sodium)
1 10oz can of enchilada sauce with the least sodium (Casa Fiesta where I shop)
A 10-14 oz pack of frozen seasoning blend vegies (onions, bell pepper, celery etc.)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
minced garlic if desired
nonfat sour cream if desired


Brown the ground chuck, add the vegies seasoning (and a teaspoon of minced garlic) and let it simmer covered until the vegies are soft. Add about 3/4 cup water and the taco seasoning mix and let it cook on a medium heat uncovered until most of the liqud is absorbed. As its tightening up, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. If using sourcream, take it off the heat and stir in 1 cup.

In a 12x 10 pan, pour in a little enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of the pan (1/3 or so of the can). Layer the bottom of the pan with corn tortillas breaking them as needed to fit the shape of the pan. Spoon over 1/2 of the meat mixture. Spread 1/3 of the enchilada sauce over the meat. Layer again with the corn tortillas, breaking as needed. Put the othe half of the meat mixture over that. Again,  put the last layer of corn tortillas. Spread the remaining 1/3 can of enchilada sauce over that. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

Cover with foil and put in a preheated 350 deg (F) for about 20 -25 minutes.

If you serve 12, you'll be under 600mg of sodium and about 350 calories. If you serve 8, youll be about 800-850 mg sodium and 550-600 calories.


Not the best enchilada recipe, but quick and easy, and reasonable on sodium.
