when you are short on time..What is your best recipe for a fast supper meal?
My Kids love this. Its alot faster than it sounds and pretty versitile


Spaghetti Pie





6 Ounces Spaghetti - cooked


2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter


1/3 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese


2 Eggs


1 Cup Cottage Cheese -or- ricotta cheese (ricotta is my fav)


1 Pound Ground Beef, Italian sausage or pepperoni or a mix


1/2 Cup Chopped Onion


1/4 Cup Green Pepper - chopped


1 8 Oz. Can Stewed Tomatoes - undrained %26amp; chopped


1 6 Oz. Can Tomato Paste


1 Teaspoon Sugar


1 Teaspoon Oregano


1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder


1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese - shredded





Preheat oven to 350潞F.





Stir together cooked spaghetti, butter, Parmesan and eggs. Spoon mixture into a buttered 9-inch pie plate, pressing to form a ';crust.';





Spread cottage or ricotta cheese over crust. Meanwhile, brown beef in a skillet; drain fat. Stir in onion, green pepper, tomatoes and liquid, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour meat mixture over cottage/ricotta.





Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and bake 5 more minutes.What is your best recipe for a fast supper meal?
a pound of boiled shrimp, peeled and chopped-- a jar of salsa-- half a cup of cilantro, chopped (cut with scissors easier)-- small red onion chopped-- cucumber, peeled and chopped-- mix all together. Then fry flour tortillas(burrito shells) until crisp. Drain shells on paper towels. Add a thin layer of mayo and put mix on top. IT';S AWESOME.
this is sooo good ... you can put meat or peperoni and it is an entire meal!





INGREDIENTS


2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls


1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix


1 cup mayonnaise


1 cup sour cream


1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese








DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Roll out crescent rolls onto large non-stick baking sheet. Stretch and flatten to form rectangular shape on sheet. Bake 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool.


In medium size mixing bowl, mix ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese until well blended. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust. Arrange vegetables over the top of the crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour
The best thing to do, if its time for preparing you are short on, is to put something in the crock pot the night before or that morning. It takes several hours to cook, but only 5-10 minutes of actual work then it cooks itself.


If you need something NOW, grilled cheese is always quick, or brown some burger meat and toss it into some macaroni for home-made hamburger helper. Make up a can of tuna, serve it on crackers, and sandwhiches, or toss it on a tasty onion roll, put on cheese, and broil it for a minute.


Also, check out something like Rachel Rays 30 minute meals for ideas.





Oh, and eggs are always fast, ignore anyone who says they are just for breakfast.
Kraft Shells %26amp; Cheese, plus a can of tuna mixed in. Yum.
heat leftovers and put some noodles on it.
Make a shrimp po'boy. Buy a loaf of French bread, slice off how much you want, and toast. Cook a package of frozen fried shrimp. Mix pre-cut coleslaw lettuce-mix with a little ranch dressing. Slice tomatoes. Put it all together. It takes less than 10 minutes, but tastes a lot better than another bowl of cereal or ham-and-cheese sandwich.
Grill a hamburger.
Make instant rice. Put a boneless skinless chicken breast into a microwave safe bowl. add salsa to cover meat. cover and microwave until done. serve over the rice. takes maybe five mins to make.





works also with thin minute steaks or fish fillets.


Good luck. Enjoy
