Sometimes even crumbled bacon. Easy "baked" apples by cutting up apples, adding brown sugar or maple syrup & cinnamon. They cook quickly in the microwave. You can even serve for dessert with ice cream, but I usually serve as a side dish. another "bean" side is 1 can of black beans plus one can of corn in pan. Add garlic salt and cumin. Simmer. OK--time for supper!<br />KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-60907125433392641182020-12-17T19:00:34.571-05:002020-12-17T19:00:34.571-05:00That red bag chicken is the bomb!

I also like to add frozen meatballs to a can of Progresso cream of mushroom soup. The large can, add a small can of sliced mushrooms...love that!<br /><br />Most of our every day meals are pretty fast & basic anyway. Soups are the main meal I cheat on. <br />My husband really likes roasted hotdogs too. Preheat oven to 400'. Slice the hotdogs...not all the way through, just to break the skin. I line them all up, run the knife across all of them...making short slits all the way down. Then turn each one & do it again. Keep turning until they have short slits all the way around them. The more random the better. <br />When you roast them they pop & get a good sear in each slit. It is very close to grilled hotdogs - so good. Especially in a cast iron skillet or grill pan. <br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-81455733779315423402020-12-17T14:18:07.104-05:002020-12-17T14:18:07.104-05:00I'm going to have to look for this!

I sauté onions and green peppers and then add the peas and a few drops of Frank's hot sauce and then simmer for 30 minutes while the rice machine makes the rice and cornbread bakes in the oven. Yum! I always have a variety of Luck's beans on the shelf for quick meals.

Instant mashed potatoes all fancied with lots of butter and either cream or canned milk. I have the same problem with potato skins that I do with flour. And I am not ashamed to use canned beans either.

Bake and slap it on a bun, and I'm done. <br />We have snow and ice, so I think it will be a chicken and dumpling night<br />Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093313893708262722noreply@blogger.com
