What to cook with these ingredients?!
Red Potatoes
Potato Soup
Canned Corn
Fresh Onion
Fresh Tomatoes
Fresh Cilantro
Brocolli

Any help would be appreciated, I'm not much of a cook, but tonight I need to cook something, I just am no good at coming up with recipes, when I do they taste like caca.
Thanks in Advance, could you also include any special instructions I might need as to not screw it up.

Use the link attached to make a meatloaf. You may have to get a couple of other ingredients. If that is too complicated you could use the second link to make hamburger steaks.
I assume you have some eggs and bread crumbs?
If not then you really just need to make a quick trip to get these "binders" to make your meat stick together.
Cut your red potatoes (peeled or unpeeled, your choice) into scallops. Cut them down the middle into sections. Put them in a microwave safe dish that has a lid. place about 0.5 Cup of water and 2 Tablespoons of butter. Try to spread it out into all the different portions of the bowl. In the bottom with some salt and pepper, chives if you have them and like them. Maybe just a dash of garlic powder. Not too much. Cook them for about 20 minutes or until you can easily run a fork through the centers of them. (depends on microwave strength) remove from microwave and put 1 cup of cheese over them. Cover and wrap in a towel. Let sit on the counter.
Put the green beans in a microwave safe dish. If you have some bacon bits (Real~not immitation) put some salt pepper and a small pad of butter in the dish. cook for 1-2 minutes depending on strength of the microwave.
At this point your meatloaf should be ready. pull it out of the oven and serve your family a homecooked feast.
Remember sometimes the key to making a good improvised meal is to not use every fresh ingrediant at your disposal but just use the ones you need to make a great meal. Sometimes ignoring the cilantro, etc. is the best option.
Good Luck,
simple
make some hamburgers
slice the potatoes and pan fry them up with some sliced onion and seasoning, with a side of broccolli , beans or corn.
pretty basic you should be ok with this.
Put the onions tomatoes brocolli, greens beans in a glass caserole, pour a cup of milk and top it with potatos and crushed hamburgers. bake it in the oven for 350 for 30 minutes
Shepherd's pie
Make mashed potatoes. Brown the hamburger with the onion, add the corn, green beans and tomatoes. Season to taste (salt, pepper, garlic). Place the meat mixture in the bottom of the casserole, top with mashed potatoes. If you have some cheese - you can top potatoes with the cheese - but it is ok without the cheese. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 350 until it starts to brown on top.
The soup i would add the broccoli to and have a that as a soup. The hamburger, onion, corn, tomatoes, potatoes cilantro and seasonings can be used for a casserole. Brown hamburger first in pan along with onion. Then add to a casserole dish along with other ingreds. and bake for 45 mins. 350 degress.
Green beans just blanch them real fast in some boiling water and cook 3or 4mins. Remove from heat immediately. Add seasonings for taste and eat as a side dish.
Make meatballs with the hamburger with onion, seasonings, corn, cilantro and egg to bind. Then make a soup with the veggies, potato soup, chopped potatoes, tomatoes, seasonings and some water.
Easy peasy.
