4. In a rush? Smithfield, Hormel, Armour have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen.
5. Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S&W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy in jars, a canned vegetable, canned cranberry sauce, and frozen Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
6. Another thing you can do is cook in a slow cooker or a crock-pot. You put the meat meal into the crock-pot in the morning and it cooks all day long. The meal is ready at dinner time. Crock-pots can be bought at your grocery store, WalMart, Target, etc. BE SURE to read the booklet that comes with the crock-pot.
Here are some crock-pot recipes for you:

7. If you are in a hurry, go to your grocery store and pick up a roasted chicken that you can buy in the deli section. They also have side dishes such as veggies, salads, desserts, and etc.
8. Frozen dinners are always a good choice. Our favorites are Stouffer's, Marie Calendar's, Michael Angelo's, Boston Market's. Just add a side dish, salad, or fruit salad. Desserts can be bought at their bakery section.
9. Ragu Sauces- Italian (in jars, just pour it on).

Pasta is very fast and Delicious. I do not know any good recipes but just pasta with sauce would work or with cheese.
Roast Chicken.
1 5-6lb chicken, wing tips removed
1 lemon -- halved
4 whole garlic cloves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (optional)
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup homemade or canned chicken broth -- water,
fruit juice or wine, for deglazing
Place oven rack on second level from bottom. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
Remove the fat from the tail and crop end of the chicken. Discard the neck and giblets or freeze for making chicken stock later. Reserve chicken livers for another use.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon, garlic and butter, if using. Season the cavity and skin with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan, breast-side up. Put in the oven legs first and roast 50 to 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear. After the first 10 minutes, move the chicken with a wooden spatula to keep it from sticking.
Remove the chicken to a platter by placing a large wooden spoon into the tail end and balancing the chicken with a kitchen spoon pressed against the crop end. As you lift the chicken, tilt it over the roasting pan so that all the juices run out of the cavity and into the pan. Pour off excess fat from the pan and put the pan on top of the stove. Add the stock or other liquid and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Serve the sauce over the chicken or, for crisp skin, in a sauce boat.
Any kind of pasta is pretty fast cooking. I like to add a twist to some of my favorite meals to make them even quicker. For example, I LOVE enchiladas but they take awhile to make so instead i cook my chicken and add spices but then i take a casserole dish and make layers of my chicken, sauce, tortillas and cheese :) You'll have all of the yummy flavor but with about half the work. If your chicken is fully cooked before hand I usually put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Goodluck!
for me fast and easy is sticking everything in the oven and cooking it...
take pork loin chops or chicken breast...dredge in a little. flour .
heat about 3 T oil in a skillet on med high..put chops in and quickly brown both sides(they will not be cooked) and remove to a casserole dish with lid...to same skillet add 2 T butter let melt 1 onion and one green pepper sliced...cook about a min then add 1 cup of broth. ..slowly de-glazing the pan....bring to a boil then pour over chops....cover casserole dish..and bake for 35 at 350.....
