It is Christmas Eve and all grocery stores are closed. What can I cook with what I have for Christmas dinner?!
Answers: I have eggs, mozzarella string cheese, ground beef, onions, garlic, lasagna noodles, macaroni noodles, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, bacon, chicken breasts, frozen vegetables, and refrigerated biscuits. I have spices and stuff too. I do have a cheese cake so dessert is handled. I am trying to feed a family of four. Note: I am a college student and just got home from school. My mom is a nurse and didn't have enough time to shop so it's not my fault I have so little to work with.
you could take the chicken and wrap the bacon around it and cook the chicken like that. Wow alot of meat dishes, lasanga as well as suggested and homemade macaroni, I make this with the noodled cooked, strained, a little butter, and then I add the cheese, for you the string cheese, until melted, waa-la, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs as mentioned, and cook the veggies...unless you want to take the beef and cook it and mix in the veggies and then add the biscuts for a biscut stew.
You could make goulash,
brown the beef and add to spaghetti sauce- add tomatoes and garlic and onions- cook macaroni and stir in the sauce - take the string cheese and unstring it over the top so it will melt
It sounds like you can make a pasta dish. What I would do is boil the lasanga noodles and then cut them into small bite size pasta squares. After that add speghetti sauce and browned meat. Sprinkle with a bit of cheese and chop up some tomatoes with it. season it with garlic and onions.
If that doesn't work then you could bake chicken with speghetti sauce poured over them like a gravy then spinkle it with cheese.
We can't afford a ham for christmas so we decided to fry some chicken wings and eat collards and macaroni with it.
You could make a bunch of stuff... you could make a bunch of italian dishes with what you have there as suggested above... you could make chicken pot pie, you could make baked chicken with vegetables and just bake the biscuits seperately... I like the food network for ideas with things!!!
start with lasagne with the cheese, ground beef spag sauce and tomatoes and lasagne noodles then roll the biscuts out long ways dip them in melted butter and some garllic salt or powder and bake cook up the veggies and top it off with the cheese cake yummy
cut the chicken breasts so they are thinner, dip them in an egg mixture & bread them with bread crumbs, fry them until there golden brown, lay them in a small roasting pan, slice the mozzerella, string cheese over them, pour on some spaghetti sauce over top, of that, ( make layers if necessary ) Boil up some spaghetti, drain. In a fry pan heat up some olive or vegetable oil, some fresh ( or powdered) garlic , fry up some bacon, crumble it in the oil mixture & serve over spaghetti, as a side for the chicken, Cook your veges. Make your buscuits & have your cheesecake for desert, good luck & Merry Christmas.....
Make lasagna.
i would cooi the lasagna with the beef, string cheese [cut up and mixed with spaghettic sauce, and garlic... cook the chicken breasts and veggies. cook the noodles and season them with seasoning and butter or margine, slice the tomatoes for a side dish warm biscuits and you will have a nice dinner.....
lasagna is the obvious choice.
you could also make a mean chicken dish - here's what i'm thinking - no real recipe - but a thought.
take the breasts (if they are on the bone, cut them off the bone) and pound them flat. you can pound them by laying down a piece of plastic wrap on your counter, laying the breasts on the plastic wrap, then covering them with another piece of plastic wrap. pound them with something heavy - get them thin.
season the breasts with salt and pepper then put a piece of mozzarella cheese on each. roll the chicken up around the chicken then wrap them with a piece of uncooked bacon.
put the bacon wrapped mozzarella chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake them for about 30 minutes. pull them out and pour the spaghetti sauce over them. add more cheese and bake for another 20 - 30 minutes.
use your other items to make some amazing side dishes. the chicken will be pretty complicated, so keep the other stuff simple.
play with it - your family will think you are amazing!!!
with what you gave me and hoping you family is forgiving here it goes.
deviled eggs, bake the biscuits, string cheese and crisp bacon as your appetizer, frozen veggies(cooked)as a side, Chicken Breast Baked w/the spaghetti sauce lightly on the top for the hint of flavor. if the tomatoes are fresh wedge them. season your meal as the taste buds of your family likes. Good Luck My Friend Jimmy
