I love good food, but have no time to cook?
I am looking for nice easy recipes that don't take too much time or too many hard to find ingredients. The yummiest one gets 10 points. Crock pot recipes are great too.

Great White Hunter Chili
2 pounds boneless chicken breast
Two medium onions, chopped
Two celery ribs, chopped
Two (4 oz.) cans chopped mild green chilies
Four cloves garlic, minced
One Tbsp. olive oil
Six cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons cumin
One ? teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
? teaspoon each: white pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper
Salt to taste
2-3 cans of Great Northern Beans
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream
Salsa
Cut chicken into chunks. In a large sauté pan, add oil. When oil is heated, add chicken chunks and sauté. Remove from pan and add onions, celery and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent. In a crock-pot, place chicken, sautéed vegetables, chilies, stock, and spices. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Add beans and 1-cup cheese and stir until cheese melts. Garnish with remaining cheese, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro
What you dont eat the first go-around, freeze in portian sizes, then heat and serve when you want a meal . I think this chile is even better after it has been frozen a few days.

Beef Pizza [4 serv; ready in 30 min]
1 pound ground beef
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 (12 inch) pre-baked thin pizza crust
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Place beef in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease.
Spread cream of mushroom soup over the pizza crust. Layer cooked beef over the soup, and top with cheese.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and pizza is heated through.
Before you go to work just put a beef roast in the crockpot
on low . 6-10 hours later when you get home just shred with
fork and and BBQ and serve on a bun or hoagie. Nothing
hard about this and by the way most of us have no time to cook.
