Like the title says! :cheers:

I'd start it off, but all of my recipes go:

1) Go to restaurant
2) Order
3) Repeat tomorrow

or

1) Turn on crock pot
2) dump anything you can find in cabinets into crock pot
3) Wait 5 hours
4) Eat?

Shaynon's famous

Chicken Dip.

Ingrediants
----------------

- 2 packages of cream cheese

- 1(8) oz container of sour cream

- 1 block of mozzeralla cheese (grated) or just use a bag of shredded

Put your crock pot on low. Put in your cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, chicken and hot sauce. Mix it up. Let it go for about a half hour...Stir....do this till its really combined. I usually let mine go about a hour. Serve with corn chips, I like the Tostitos Bite Size White Corn Chips, but you can use anything!

4-6 chicken breast ( I used 3 boneless breast and cut them in half)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cola, regular/diet ( can use Dr. Pepper)
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

Spray the crockpot with cooking spray helps with clean up). Put the chickin into the crockpot 1st.
Combine ketchup, cola, oinions, and green peppers in small bowl. Once combined pour over chicken. Cover and cook on Low for 5-6 hours. Serve with the sauce.

Sauce Smothered Chicken

*1 egg
*2 tbsp milk (if you don't have milk in your fridge, don't worry about this)
*Progresso brand Italian flavored bread crumbs (to save $$, make your own)
*mashed potato flakes
*chicken pieces (cut up chicken breasts, cut up boneless chicken thighs, raw meat pulled from chicken legs, etc. etc.)--> the chicken that one would use for stir-fry is the best
*can of pasta sauce
*parmesan cheese (frugal hint: the price of cheese is up, and to save money, get little packets of parm that you can find in pizza shops or at Sams Club/Costco in the cafeteria area-->it is mostly garnish)
*red pepper flakes ( frugal hint: you can also find these at Sams Club/Costco cafeteria area-->just grab a bunch when you go to eat here)
*oil

Steps:

1) beat egg and milk together in one bowl
2) mix bread crumbs with potato flakes in another (you can sprinkle some parm and red pepper flakes into this mix for added flavor)
3) make a station: lay your chicken pieces out, and put your egg bowl and bread crumb mixture next to that.
4) in a frying pan, put some oil and heat on medium until it sizzles if you put something in it
5) dip chicken pieces in egg, and then into bread crumb mixture and let fry in the pan until all the chicken pieces are done; as you are frying, put cooked pieces onto a a piece of newspaper covered with 2 paper towels
6) after all pieces are fried, lower heat and put all pieces of chicken back into the pan; add your tomato sauce and heat through
7) garnish the top with parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, Italian herbs, etc.
8) Serve with pasta

I posted this on the frugal recipes thread, but it's so good and easy it bears repeating:

This is so simple yet very very good. In my neck of the woods (north Jersey) London broil goes on sale often for $1.49 per pound or less, and this is the time of year that canned soup goes on sale and coupons are available. This recipe is always a big hit wtih my family, and goes great with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

Crock Pot London Broil with Gravy

3 lbs. London broil
1 can condensed tomato soup (low sodium is ok)
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (low sodium is ok)
1/2 packet dry onion soup mix

Put London broil in the bottom of the crock pot. In a bowl, combine the canned soup and the dry soup mix. Dump the soup mixture over the meat, cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. When done, remove the meat from the crock pot, slice across the grain and serve with the gravy. Delicious!!

Tex-Mex Baked Potatoes

4 baking potatoes
1 pound lean ground beef
1 (12 ounce) jar mild or hot salsa
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped stuffed green olives
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cup thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
Sliced tomatoes

Scrub potatoes; pierce skin with fork. Bake at 400 degrees F until tender, about 1 hour.

Fifteen minutes before potatoes are done, saute meat in hot skillet until all pink disappears. Add salsa and chili powder to meat. Cover. Cook over medium
heat for about 10 minutes.

Add green pepper and olives to meat mixture. Heat through.

Cut baked potatoes open. Spoon hot meat mixture into potatoes. Top at once with cheese so that it melts slightly.

Serve with lettuce sprinkled on top and with sliced tomatoes alongside.

You will need

1 package Kraft Deluxe mac and cheese

3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese - divided ( I used taco cheese since I already had it open)
1 cup chunky salsa

Heat oven to 400.

Prepare Kraft deluxe as directed on the box.
While mac and cheese is cooking, cook meat with taco seasoning as directed on taco package

Stir sour cream into prepared kraft deluxe,
Spoon 1/2 into 8 inch square baking dish

Tonights dinner....homemade and created quesadillas (I tend to cook by throwing edible things in a pan and amazing my husband who doesn't cook with more than three ingredients at a time).

This is what I had on hand:
1 lb hamburger
Taco seasoning
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/2 can black olives - sliced with the egg slicer (ummm....I ate the other half waiting for dinner :) so use as many as survive)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
tortillas
butter or margarine
sour cream

You could also add 1/2 of a chopped white onion to the hamburger. Add salsa and green onion to the sour cream on the side.

Brown hamburger. Add taco seasoning, tomatoes and olives and heat throughly.

Butter one side of a tortilla. Place butter side down on a flat griddle pan or in a large frying pan. Add one layer of cheese - enough to cover the tortilla leaving about an inch at the edge. Place hamburger mixture on top of the cheese - don't get to close to the edge of the tortilla - you will be flipping it over. Top with buttered tortilla, butter side up. Allow bottom side to cook until cheese is melted and tortilla is grilled. FLIP CAREFULLY!!! Finish browning second tortilla. Place on plate and cut into 4-6 pieces and serve with sour cream.

Here is one my family always loves:

1 package of pasta (either bow ties, penne, elbows, something like those) cooked
Half a package of bacon (mmmmm, bacon)

Saute garlic and onion until soft. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Slowly add cream and boil under thickened or reduced by half. Add peas and cook until thawed and hot. Toss sauce with pasta and eat!
