I have several, but this is one go to. Mashed potatoes (either left over or fresh made), bacon and kielbasa or other similar sausage (I use the Adels chicken sausage). Cook the bacon until crisp (I use pre-cooked so I just warm it in the microwave), heat the mashed potatoes and kielbasa, toss in the bacon. I also sometimes toss in grated cheese.
My go to pork chops are simple, but take longer to cook. In a frying pan, brown the pork chops, take one package of Lipton onion soup mix over the top, add enough water to just cover the pork chops, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until tender.

My favorite side is Spinach Feta and Tomatoes. Cook chopped onions, salt and pepper in a large skillet using water instead of oil. Add lots of spinach. I purchase two 11 oz boxes of fresh spinach. When it's wilted and partially cooked, add cherry tomatoes cut in half. Let them soften a little, add feta and let it melt blending with the little water in the pan. It makes a kind of sauce. Yum!

Well I am tired of cooking and tired of thinking of things to cook. Luckily Mr Stitchnripper is not fussy and just happy to have a meal. my go to is boneless skinless chicken breasts sprinkled liberally with one of several different spice mixes we like and cook them on the George Foreman grill. The trick is not to overlook. The grill has removable plates and it's nonstick so easy to clean. Then heat up a bag of vegetables in the microwave. Sometimes he will make himself minute rice. Sometimes there is something else in the fridge he likes. I've been happy with a frozen dinner lately.

Mine is a copycat recipe of Panera Bread's Broccoli and Cheese soup.
2 Tbs butter + 3 Tbs flour in the bottom of a 4 qt. pan, cook to make a thick paste.
Add 2 cups of milk slowly, stirring constantly.
Then add 2 cups water
1 Tbs chicken bouillon
2 10oz. pkgs frozen chopped broccoli
1 or 2 shredded carrots
4 Tbs dried minced onion
salt and pepper to your liking
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 mins.
Add 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, stir and serve with a crusty bread.

This one is WAY too easy to be as yummy as it is! It's called Mississippi Roast.
Put tenderizer on a roast (both sides) and poke it all over with a fork. Throw it in a CrockPot.
Sprinkle on a packet of powdered Au Jus mix, a packet of powdered Ranch Dressing mix, then plunk a stick of butter on top (I only use half a stick). Put 5 pepperoncini peppers on top. Cook the roast in the CrockPot as you normally would. No need to add water.
YUM!!!

We do this dish, which we also call "goulash" but add a can or two -- depending on how much ground beef we're using -- of pork 'n beans. It's also a great camping favorite and can be cooked on a camp fire grate in an iron skillet or iron dutch oven. With garlic bread and a salad, it's a pretty good meal.

I am loving this thread! I have a quick question.....on the recipes where you bake it in the oven (like chicken with the soup, etc.).........do you cover the pan or are these all cooked without cover? I always question myself on whether I need to cover the baking pan or cook it uncovered?!?
Thanks everyone....
Thanks everyone....
