tzuhouse 4 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Oh, if looking for EASY recipies, here is one of my favorites. Chicken breasts, tenders are easier (but I use boneless, skinnless thighs, cause we like dark meat), put in pan, no need to brown unless you just want to, pour large jar of Pace Picante sauce (I use medium) over it and simmer til the meat is cooked through. Serve over white rice....YUMMO. Sooooo easy, which I LOVE. Any EASY recipies.....please bring em on. Hope that is not thread jacking..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stacey 7 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) i have another recipe that my grandmother taught me, and I can guarantee its not in any recipe book in the entire world... I call it homemade hamburger helper. 1lb hamburger meat cooked with about 1/4 cup of water together. DO NOT DRAIN Add 1/8cup of onion to that skillet (1) 8 oz can of tomatoe sauce 1 giant squirt of ketchup, not neccessary to measure but probably about 1/2 cup Seperately boil egg noodles, I use no yolk version, probably half a bag. After they are boiled to the directions on the bag, add those to the hamburger mixture. Then add 1/2 cup of chese of shredded or 3 slices. (I use sliced cheese but you can use shredded if you wish.) Mix that in so that its melted with the sauce. Then add a layer of cheese to the top and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted probably about 5 mins on 350degrees if its preheated. My husband is picky and he absolutely loves this, and my mom she never seen what me and granny got out of this dish but she finally tried right before granny died and is now in love with it and beggng me to help her with it. Granny never wrote it down it was something that was in her head and cooked on a much smaller scale but I have a hearty eater for a husband so I had to up the recipe lol.

Wicket's mom 1 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 So many yummy sounding recipes, I'm gonna bookmark this thread I found a porc chop recipe last year that we absolutely love! My DH likes more traditional meals and is very skeptic when I try new things but he really likes this one, and doesn't take very long to make. I usually just serve them alongside mashed potatoes (I like to cream them with milk, a bit of butter & salt) and boiled carrots. Tender glazed porc chops 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp dried oregano 4 boneless porc chops (I have used with bones too and it's just as good) 1 cup apricot preserves 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1 1/2 tsp lime juice 2 Tbsp olive oile Combine 1st 3 ingredients & sprinkle over porc chops. Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-low heat. Meanwhile, in a sm saucepan, combine preserves, lemon & lime juice. Cook & stir over low heat till preserves are melted. Add the porc to the heated skillet & cook 8-10 mins, until lightly browned on one side. Turn the chops, generously brush with the apricot glaze. Cook 8-10 mins more, until juices run clear. Serve with remaining glaze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShihtzuBeauty 47 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Now I fix that all the time, call it goulash. But I used hamburger, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and dried flaked onion. One of our favorite meals. I did have the tomato juice and mac when growing up, just not enough flavor for me. BUT, I would never turn it down.....I smother both with parm cheese. Now This is how I would love to cook. Ray isn't big on onion green or red peppers etc...he's very plain. Boring man I Miss real food and eating as much of it as you want too.
