buy a microowavable dinner at tom thumb
hot pockets
baked chicken , baked potatoes, veggie salad
chicken pot pie...can be made in advance and from my experience everyone loves it. just in case you don't like to make crust, buy it ready to roll or use the frozen puff pastry
Tacos. Just fry up your ground meat, pop the tacos in the oven for a few minutes and dice up tomatoes, lettuce, onions, some grated cheese, and green olives. Put out salsa, sour cream and whatever else is good on tacos. Voila, easy and quick.
Any kind of pasta and a salad.
Make a big pot of chili and serve it with crusty rolls and maybe a salad and some different cheeses.
Make ahead of time and enjoy.
Rice and Chili Burritos-- These are delish! You may want to double the recipe, but I'm not quite sure it might be enough for 11 people! These take 20 minutes tops!
1 (15 ounce) can chili with beans
1/2 cup instant rice or brown rice
1 cup water
1/2 cup shredded cheese
3/4 cup salsa (optional)
10 tortillas (about)
-Heat chili in saucepan. Once heated, add uncooked rice and water. Stir together and let simmer over medium heat about 10-15 minutes until rice is cooked. Don't forget to stir!
Once cooked throughout, turn heat down. Place about 1/3 cup mixture on tortilla and top with 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese and a few tablespoons salsa and roll up. Once all burritos have been made, zap in microwave for 30-60 seconds to melt cheese and reheat.
Taco Soup-- Easiest soup you will ever make, very good too! Leftovers are wonderful (if it makes it past the first meal!)
1 lb ground beef
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can corn
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can peas
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix or chili seasoning mix
2 chicken bouillon cubes
14 1/2 ounces water
-Using a big stove top pot, brown ground beef first and drain off extra fat. Add all ingredients to the beef and let simmer on medium about 15 minutes or until hot.
Lasagne or spaghetti
tacos, enchiladas, lasagna, spaghetti, meat loaf, casserole of some kind, or you can just order out Chinese!
