Re: Frugal 30 Minute Meals
Here are a few of mine:
Creamy chicken and rice
1 package Lipton Chicken Flavored Rice
1 can cream of chicken soup
Any left over cooked chicken chopped (about a cup or so - I've used canned chicken sometimes)
crackers
Make the rice according to directions. When it's just about done, add the cream of chicken soup and chicken. Reheat as needed. Serve with crackers, salad, etc...
Beef Stroganuff
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 chopped onion (or onion powder to taste)
salt & pepper to taste
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 oz sour cream
little bit of milk
noddles or rice
Cook the ground beef with onions. Drain, add salt & pepper and cream of mushroom soap. Add a little bit of milk to thin it some (1/4 cup maybe). Add sour cream but don't let it boil - just reheat. Serve over noodles or rice.
Easy Peach Cobbler
1 can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
1/2 cup self rising flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
Heat oven to 350. Place butter in a small (about 8" round) glass dish (about 2-3" deep or so) and place in oven to melt Once melted, add peaches. Mix the flour, milk and sugar together. Mix in the vanilla and a couple dashes of cinnamon. Pour this in the middle of the peaches. DO NOT STIR IT! The dough will rise to the top and form a nice golden brown top. Bake for about 45 minutes or so until nicely golden brown on top and the dough is cooked.
I've used spiced fried apples (from a can) with this recipe and it was yummy too! I guess you can use any fruit as long as it is in heavy syrup. Other types won't quite work the same...
