I need some cheap, easy, and quick recipies!?
We run a very hectic schedule around here. There is usually not much time to cook a fantastic meal for dinner. We usually have something easy like Hamburger Helper or chili dogs or something. I'm running out of variety. Anyone have any yummy things I can make quick?
Beefy Rice:
1 pound hamburger
1 box beef rice a roni
Meatloaf:
2 pounds hamburger
1 box stove top
1/4 cup ketchup
Crap in a pot:
1 pkg. potatoes o'brian
1 pound smoked sausage - diced
1 can cream of mushroom
1 cup shredded cheddar added at end.
Crock pot high, 4 hours.
Meatballs: for sub sandwiches or spaghetti
1 pound hamburger
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 egg
Either bake 'em or saute 'em.
Can't beat shake and bake pork chops, rice a roni and cream style corn.
Chicken or Beef Lo Mein:
INGREDIENTS
1 Pound sliced chicken or beef
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (3 ounce) packages Oriental flavored ramen noodles
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
DIRECTIONS
Heat oil and add meat, cook until done.
Meanwhile bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles from ramen packages, reserving the seasoning envelopes. Boil for about 2 minutes, just until the noodles break apart. Drain.
Add the stir-fry vegetables to the pan with the tofu, and season with the ramen noodle seasoning packet. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Add noodles, and stir to blend. Season with soy sauce to taste and serve.

Breakfast is good for dinner, especially omelets with cheese & veggies ….. Get a tube of refrigerated pizza dough (or a Boboli shell) and make fresh pizza (use a good jar of sauce, if you don't have any pre-made) … Make batches of soup, spaghetti sauce & chili on the weekends and freeze in 1-dinner portions … BBQ anything! fish, chicken, beef, pork - make a salad & a package of Rice-a-Roni while it's grilling … Keep glass bowls filled with salads in the refrigerator to pull out at dinner time (fruit, green salad, potato or pasta salad, coleslaw or broccoli slaw, bean salad, etc)

For meat, you should try anything that cooks quickly. You know, I know seafood gets overlooked a lot and may seem strange and intimidating, but I think searing fish (which takes like, 3 minutes for both sides) is delicious and quick. Just season your fish with a little salt and pepper, sear it in olive oil, and squeeze some lemon on it.
From the store, get a bagged salad with mix-ins already included, like nuts and dried fruit.
At home, cook some rice. If you don't have time for the regular rice, just grab some Uncle Ben's. Cous Cous is also really tasty and cooks so fast, it takes no time.
It might seem like a lot of work, but I swear its quicker and healthier than Hamburger Helper.

HAPPY COOKING!!!!!
I can empathize with your life . I have been there so here is one word advice CROCK POT .
I never bought a cook book for mine . You see the ideas are as endless as your imagination . Soup to stew , sausage and peppers to meat loaf , pork and sour kraut to stuffed peppers .
The night before you go to bed chop and place what you intend to make into the dish cover it and place in refrigerator . Next morning place dish into the heating element and turn on .
When you and your honey arrive home and are ready a hot meal is waiting .
Do not sacrifice your healthy diet with processed quick food !
