I think lazy meals are sometimes more satisfying than ones that take awhile to make. I made taco meat with ground beef and seasoning the other night. I did something I saw on some blog that made it extra delicious--put a whole can of pinto beans, undrained, in the mix. It thickened it up and was extra filling. I also made a basic honey mustard mixture for chicken I cut up and cooked in the skillet the other night. What made it really tasty was just a bit of Worcestershire sauce in the honey mustard mix. autumnlove on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592703 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:56:25 +0000 autumnlove 592703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks for all the suggestions! @Mrs. Jacks: I am going to try your won tons this weekend! :-) betsyboop on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592542 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:39:35 +0000 betsyboop 592542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Last night I made salsa chicken in the crock pot. Easiest meal ever. Throw 2 chicken breasts into a crockpot, 1 tsp of cumin, 12 oz salsa, can of drained black beans, set on low for 6 hours. I threw in some frozen corn at the end. So good and no veggie chopping! I also like pasta with garlic sautéed in olive oil and hot pepper flakes.

I also love a can of soup and a grilled cheese during the winter. Another fav if I'm running late from work - DH will make French dip sandwiches. Just need roast beef, buns, a sauteed onion (optional) and a can of beef broth. I slather mine up with horseradish, and DH throws a slice of provolone on his. We eat them with frozen sweet potato fries that bake in like 12 minutes. Annnnnd now I'm hungry :) Arden on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592390 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:35:15 +0000 Arden 592390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Taco salad (chips, rice, chili or leftover black bean soup, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, cheese, salsa and DH puts sour cream) is a quick and delicious meal. We'll also throw together minestrone soup really fast (sauted onion, canned kidney beans/chickpeas/green beans/butter beans, canned tomato sauce, frozen spinach, and seasonings and simmer for 20 minutes before adding cooked pasta - done). Stir-fry is also fast and easy- saute whatever veggies you have on hand, maybe some tofu and serve on top of rice/quinoa/couscous. prettylizy on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592387 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:35:06 +0000 prettylizy 592387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Whatchoogot pasta: whatever veggies we have in the freezer sauteed, add jarred sauce and whatever meat we have in the fridge over whatever pasta (or rice) we have in the cupboard. Homemade pizza: frozen dough, same jarred sauce as above, whatever veggiess, meat etc we have. Breakfast for dinner is always a bonus. blackbird on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592385 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:34:46 +0000 blackbird 592385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ marinated meat and steamed veggies homemade chicken fingers-dip in egg, dust in crumbs, toss on a pan in the oven pastas pork chops and potato wedges store bought rotisserie chicken+salad PurplePumps on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592381 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:33:05 +0000 PurplePumps 592381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Everything is lazy meal for me since it's done in 20 minutes, consists of rice, a meat and a veggie. -Baked fish (maple glazed salmon is my favorite) and steamed veggies. -Steak, throw it in some marinade in the morning, pan fry in the evening with some steamed veggies. -Stir fry anything. Chicken and peppers in bbq sauce. Beef and tomato. Beef and string bean with black bean sauce. Chicken and napa in sweet chili sauce. Chicken and cauliflower in curry. And I guess frozen dumplings on REALLY lazy days.

Either boil chicken and cover it with BBQ sause and put on chips with cheese and whatever else, or brown ground beef and season with taco seasoning and throw it on some chips! Another is any kind of easy chicken. Chicken in the oven with BBQ sauce, or lemon pepper seasoning sprinkled on. 2 minutes of prep work and a 45 minute wait while it's in the oven! matador84 on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592305 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:06:00 +0000 matador84 592305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Grilled cheese!

We also have frozen pizza once a week, DH makes breakfast for dinner once a week, and our 'fancy' meal is either enchiladas or tacos with homemade tortillas. There are a few other things we throw in there, but those are are go-tos. autumnlove on "If you don't eat out often..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-eat-out-often#post-592292 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:57:41 +0000 autumnlove 592292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ What are some of your favorite lazy meals?
