When I'm in a hurry or tired, I make "Poor Mans Stroganoff". It's really simple. In the frozen section of the supermarket, get a bag (I get the 2 lb. bag) of SWEDISH meatballs (NOT Italian) and get 2 - 12oz jars of Heinz Gravy, one beef and one turkey. The meatballs are fully cooked so all he has to do is thaw them out in the microwave, or put them in the fridge overnight to thaw. Mix the 2 jars of gravy together in a large saucepan, put in the thawed out meatballs (however many he thinks they can eat) and let them simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes. While the meatballs and gravy are heating up, he can cook up a bag of Wide Egg Noodles. I use the whole wheat/whole grain noodles but the regular, white egg noodles will do fine. He could probably cook up the whole bag or maybe half to 3/4 of the 12 oz bag. They only take 7 to 9 minutes to cook. Drain them when they're done, put some in each bowl or on each plate, put the meatballs and gravy on top, like you would spaghetti sauce, and that's all there is to it. Poor Mans Stroganoff! Tastes great, kids love it, and the leftovers can be either frozen for a meal at another time, or put the leftovers in the fridge and have them the next day. (To reinforce, buy SWEDISH meatballs, NOT the Italian ones.)
