Best answer to whoever can come up with a decent recipe using these ingredients.. I really need the help!

Answers:

You can male Sheppard's pie with the ingredients you have
1. Prepare the mashed potatoes according to the package instructions.
2. Decide wether you want to the stroganoff sauce or the manwich sauce with your dish.
3. Combine the veggies. If they are inc ans drain of the liquid. Season them with salt peper or your choice of seasoning. A pinch of garlic powder would be good here.
4. Toast a couple peices of the bread and crumb it up.
5. Begin to layer- all of the veggies, the sauce and the mashed potatoes. Add the bread crumbs and bake @ 375 until top is golden brown.

You can also add a bit of the cheese from the mac n cheese to the mashed poatatoes for more flavor. Also be sure to season each layer well.

Happy cooking!



When does he get his paycheck in?

I would go withthe hamburger helper but stir in the drianed beans whenthe noodles are tender. Serve with green beans on the side.

Then scrapeup some change and get a can of tuna fish. Tomnrrow you can have mac and cheese, with tuna, corn and peas.



What I would do is, make it all, toast the bread, boil up the noodles with some butter and salt, then cover it all with the Manwich sauce. Add some spices in if you'd like. I think you'll like it.



mix the peas into the mac and cheese and serve the string beans on the side.



mix the corn and green beans, and heat up the mashed potatoes and mac n cheese



Soup! That's always my go-to recipe with leftovers or a funny assortment of things. I think you could put together a "Cowboy Minestrone"!

Mix manwich sauce with some water, heat to simmer. Stir in flavor packet from hamburger helper. Add noodles. Cook till done. Add some of the ranch beans, some of the green beans. Do you have some garlic powder? Oregano? Boullion cube? Make some toast to go with it. Do something interesting - like cut the bread in three strips, or triangles, or something. Butter and sprinkle with garlic and oregano or parsley. Toast and you've got garlic bread.
