Really Great Chicken

Chicken (still on the bones)
Veggies (we like potatoes, carrots and onions)
some kind of soup mix (Lipton's or Campbell)


Cut up your veggies and put them in the bottom of a casserole dish over a little butter spread out first. Spread out chicken on top of veggies. Mix up the soup mix and pour over both chicken and veggies. Cook on 375 for about one hour or until chicken is done.

About 10 minutes before chicken is done, put salt, pepper and a little paprika on top of the chicken. I have not met anyone who does not love this dinner

Stir Fry

Rice of choice
veggies (green beans, carrots, onions, or any kind of peppers)
One large sausage (one of those big beef circulars)

cook rice for 20 minutes
while the rice is cooking, saute the veggies and the beef

serve veggies and beef sausage over hot rice. Makes a quick and colorful meal. And it is very filling, great to feed hungry men.

Corned beef is always good for a cheap subsititute for mincemeat I find. You can use for spag bol or alternatively one of my favourite recipes is it cooked up with some carrots and an onion then topped with mashed potato or i prefer mashed sweet potato then baked in the oven for 30 minutes or so. Its cheap, healthy with the sweet potato option, tastes good and lasts in the fridge for a while. I tend to serve on its own or with veg and gravy.
