Well, I see at least 3 possible meal choices there:
Beef stew, Spaghetti with meat sauce, or Baked Chicken!.
Use about 8 oz of meat per person in each case!.

BEEF STEW
Coat beef cubes with flour & brown in oil with onions!.
Place in large pot of water, with potatoes, carrots, & onions!.
Simmer on medium heat for an hour until meat is tender!.
Add frozen veggies in last 10 minutes!.

SPAGHETTI & MEAT_SAUCE
Boil large pot of water, then add spaghetti, & 2 tbsp olive oil!.
Reduce heat to medium, let simmer until tender al dente!.
Chop onion in olive oil & brown thawed ground beef!.
Add spaghetti sauce & stir to break up meat finely!.
Drain spaghetti, place in large serving bowl or platter!.
Pour sauce over spaghetti & mix gently with 2 spoons!.
Optionally add frozen veggies to sauce for 10 minutes!.

BAKED CHICKEN
Boil 2 cups of water, add 1 cup of rice, & 1 tbsp butter!.
Reduce heat & place tight cover over pot!. Simmer 1/2 hour!.
Thaw & brown chicken breasts in oil with chopped onion!.
Transfer chicken to baking dish, pour orange juice over it!.
Bake in 400F oven for 45 minutes, test for doneness!.
Either use meat thermometer or sharp knife for no pinkness!.
