Make a big helping of taco meat, can make tacos, toss it in Doritos for walking taco's. put it on nachos with cheese, add to lettuce and fixins for taco salad...

what are Jacket potatoes?

chicken alfredo? how do you make that?

Alfredo sauce I use is heavy whipping cream and sweet butter with a little milk and parmesan. You can use cream cheese instead of sweet butter, or combine the two. I use lots of garlic as well. Buy the fresh pasta it goes a long way eating wise!!!And you can buy fresh chicken and sautee it in onions and garlic or just buy the precooked breasts. Salt and pepper to taste...really easy...Google the recipes...YUMMY!

I used to make a casserole with carrots, peas, tuna, and noodles. It has lots of protein, vitamins, and starch, and it goes a long way.
You make a white sauce with milk and flour and butter to hold it all together. I didn't even bother cooking it in the oven, but you can if you want to add extra flavor.
Or if you want to do it the easy way, cook 3 or 4 cups (dry)noodles seperately, then drain and add the sauce (do that by melting 2TB butter, add 2TB flour, then milk a little at a time until you have a creamy sauce.) You can also use the juice from the tuna in place of some of the milk if you want more flavor -- otherwise, drain the tuna and add to the noodles and sauce. Then add carrots and peas. If carrots are fresh and not frozen, cook them with the noodles. Then, warm it all up slowly, stirring frequently.
If you want to bake it for more flavor, put it in the oven at 350 for a half hour or 40 min. with shredded cheese and/or bread crumbs on top.
I liked to put parsely and S & P and garlic in it. Served with buttered bread, I liked it pretty well.

YUM thanks guys! Anybody have a good chili receipe by chance?

my chilli is kinda a crap shoot. I use tomato juice, tomato sauce, chilli beans, chilli pepper to taste, a pinch of cinnamon, usally use those precanned peppers and tomatoes that are diced and seasoned. I have done it from scratch as well, but can be a lot of work!...then I just throw in garlic and salt and pepper and what ever other seasoning tickles my fancy for that day and play with it till it tastes to my liking! Of of course meat LOL I season that ahead of time too before I add it to the soup.(Onions peppers garlic)

thanks LaynieK.....I just remembered my mom used to use a can of V8 might be good

Jacket potatoes - scrub some large potatoes and prick with a fork arrange on plate if using microwave, approximately 10 minutes per potato. If using the oven place on baking sheet and cook for about 1 hour. If using an oven rub the skins with salt to make them crispy. Offer a variety of fillings and let everyone help themselves. These are my husband's favourite to cook on my night off.

Meatballs simmered in stock are really quick and easy, you can freeze them for later and you can have them with lots of different things.......and they are nice and succulent and don't dry out like some can when you fry them.

Chili1 pound ground beef, 1 large can crushed tomatoes, two diced onions, 2 cans red kidney beans, diced celery, 1 can tomato paste, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, worchestershire sauce to taste. Sevre with rice or crackers, best with melted cheese on top.

Make spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage. After the first meal used the extra sausages for sandwiches, use the leftover sauce to make ministrone.
