Take a package of chinese sausages. Cut them into bit sized pieces. Throw them in the pot with rice and water then cook as if you are making regular rice. Voila!
The sausage gets cooked, and the grease/oils from the sausage makes the rice taste delicious. This is great for when you are hungry but there is nothing at home to make an elaborate meal.
Do you have a simple yet delicious recipe I could borrow?
Three cans of tomato soup, one can of water. Toss in sliced green peppers, onions, celery, a bit of paprika and just a little garlic. Let it all simmer together for a few hours. Pour it over fried pork chops or boneless chicken breasts and cook it for about a half an hour at 350 or until there is just a slight crust. Serve over rice.
It’s a nice recipe because it gives you a lot of room to play around with whatever ingredients or spices you want.
One 24oz can of cherry pie filling
One 24oz can of crushed pineapple
One box of white or yellow cake mix

Dump the cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple into a 9X18 baking dish and stir them together. Dump cake mix on top of the fruit mix and level. Pour the melted butter on top of the dry cake mix.
Bake at 350degrees for 35-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown.

Take one chicken breast. Add a little sesame oil, and some soy sauce. Seal tightly in aluminum foil. Bake 35 minutes at 425. Serve with rice, to sop up the juices in the foil.
Chicken pieces seasoned with seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion, wrapped in foil with carrots, potatoes, celery and onions. Bake at 350 for maybe 45 mins. Drain the fat off the chicken before serving.

Take a round steak, pour a packet of onion soup mix over it, wrap in foil and toss in the oven. If you like, you can add some canned mushrooms, too.
Hamburger helper.
(Oh, quit looking at me that way.)
My favorite recipe from childhood: Stovetop Tuna & Noodles.
Boil egg noodles. Drain, return noodles to hot pan. Add one can cream o’ mushroom soup and one can of drained tuna. Voila.
You can add peas, a splotch of mustard, some sour cream, a dollop of mayo… whatever else you want. But it’s pretty much those first three ingredients that make the dish. (alas, my husband doesn’t like this. I guess he had a mom who actually cooked)
I also loved Cowboy beans, which is essentially a can of pork-n-beans with browned hamburger added.
One pound of Jimmy Dean original or spicy sausage. Cook and drain off fat. Add one can of Rotelle’s diced tomatoes and green chiles.
One large box of velveeta. Chop into cubes and slowly add to sausage/tomatoe/chile mixture until all melted.
Eat with one or two large bags of Frito’s Scoops.
Not exactly a full meal, But goooooooood.
Corn Soup
1 16 oz can cream style corn
1 can cream of chicken soup or chicken stock
Pinch nutmeg
Pimentos
Milk
Mix corn, soup and nutmeg. Add milk as directed on can of chicken soup. Stir while heating on medium. Add sprinkle of chopped pimentos to each dish. Salt and pepper to taste. For variation and hearty flavor, stir in a can of Deviled Ham.
This is from my cookbook modested titled “Famous Recipes” by Sema Wilkes, owner of Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House restaurant in Savannah, Georgia (Billbo might want to stop by!), and this is dorm food if I ever saw it. Back in my meat-eating days, my hubbie and I loved it with the deviled ham stirred in.
Coke & Ketchup chicken
Saute chopped or sliced onion in olive oil or butter in a large skillet until translucent. Add chicken pieces or breasts (Works best with bone-in pieces) and brown on both sides, about 5 min. Cover with sauce = 1/2 cup coke and 1/2 cup ketchup, mixed together in measuring cup. Cover and simmer 1/2 hr until chicken is cooked through. If pan seems dry, dilute with more Coke. If sauce seems too watery, turn up heat and remove cover. Serve with potatoes or rice to mop up juices.
This is my husband’s favorite dish. Tastes like a sweet BBQ sauce, and it’s reasonably low-fat too!
Cook up some ground beef in a skillet.
Make mashed potatoes (real or from flakes).
Mix them.
Add whatever spices you like.
Add whatever else you like and have handy (onions, raw or cooked; raw celery; bacon bits; kidney beans; broccoli florets; etc.).
Box of Pasta Salad Mix. Cook pasta, drain, add seasoning mix and butter and lots of Parmesan Cheese. Can also add meat.
The easiest way to get rid of Thanksgiving leftovers is to combine the meat and stuffing, pour gravy over it (canned gravy or cream of something soup if you don’t have enough) and cook in microwave till hot.
This is what I usually do with venison neck roasts, but it works for cheap cuts of beef, too.
