You could make enchilada pie, it's pretty good if you like corn tortillas
get one pound of ground meat, brown it (you can put bell peppers and onions if you want) add chili seasoning (little envelope by the boxed meals usually) and a can of tomato paste!. rip 12 corn tortillas in to quarters and then you can just layer the tortillas, meat sauce and lets say cheddar or mozzarella cheese!? put in microwave oven or regular oven until it melts (10 min in micro, 20 in oven at 350)
You can always get a can of black or pinto beans to go with it and some sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes!.
If you want to go crazy you can add black olives and corn to the sauce after you cook the meat!. It sort of makes it like a seven layer dip!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Baked potatoes with butter, sour cream and shredded cheese make for a nice easy meal and if you have it top them with some chili too!. My Cherry Glazed Chicken Breasts and Meatloaf are easy and quick to make - the meatloaf goes together in less and five minutes and you can always be doing something else while the chicken breasts or the meatloaf cook!.
CHERRY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS:
1 can cherry pie filling
4 boneless chicken breasts
Heat oven to 350 degrees F!. Place the chicken breasts in a glass baking pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray like Pam!. Spoon just enough of the cherry pie filling over the chicken to cover lightly!. Place pan into oven and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes spreading more of the pie filling over the chicken every 15 minutes!.
This is very easy and you get a nice moist chicken breast!. This also works well for Cornish game hens and pork chops!.
Serve with a rice pilaf, white rice, mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes and a steamed veggie like whole green beans, baby carrots, broccoli or corn!.
Meatloaf is one of my favorite recipes - served with mashed potatoes and whole green beans or steamed baby carrots!.
Meatloaf
3 pounds ground beef
3 large eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs

have you tried pasta, trying it in unconventional combinations to keep it interesting!.
I like to toss linguini in with a tossed salad, to give it more subtance & filling!. Even mac & cheese without the maccaroni, use another kind of pasta instead, and a garnish of salsa for a little spice on top of sliced tomatos!.
Have you considered ordinary cream of mushroom soup, but with linguini or fetticini noodles combined, while warming up the soup add a little beef or chicken boullion for extra flavour!.
its simple & its different, its all in how you look at ordinary foods with a slightly off the wall perspective!. Be creative, your immagination has your own limits!.

at the beginning of the week, I fry up 6 pounds of burger (we have 5 in our family) and store it in an air tight container!. This makes it a snap to pull out the meat, add sauce, or whatever I want to make that night!.
also, I boil up a bunch of chicken breasts all at once and put them in 1 gallon ziplock bags (about 4-5 in each bag)!. One bag I maranate with itialin dressing, one with honey mustard dressing, and one with BBQ sauce!. Then, after about an hour, you can cook them how you choose (on a grill or bake or whatever)!. You can then freeze them for later or eat them throughout the week!. Try to plan ahead that is always a plus!.
