Mocrzy · Patient Zero

Here’s an easy way to make scrambled eggs with that little extra…

2 Eggs

1 to 2 TBSP Philly Cream Cheese

Couple Pinches of Dill Weed

Pinch of Salt

Butter

Mix eggs, cream cheese, & dill weed in separate bowl until most of the cream cheese is smoothed out (there will still be some lumps…it ok…just make sure they are small lumps)

On Medium High heat, melt some butter to coat the bottom of the pan

Pour egg mixture into pan & cook until desired texture, stirring constantly (less time, wetter eggs, more time, tougher eggs) It usually takes about 3-4 minutes after Pan is hot to cook well, but use judgement…If you get brown ares, it’s past done & burning…

Trish · The Procrastinating Red-Head

Noodles and noodles. 2 cans of chunky chicken noodle soup and 1 box of cooked rotini noodles. Add the two and it's a meal for 4.

CP · Lord of the Lair

This is the greatest for me and not many dishes to do.

One or Two Pork Chops, simply fried to almost well done.

One Can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom Soup

One Can of Water

One and one half cans of Min. Rice.

When the pork chops are almost done, throw in the soup, water and rice. Mix it aournd, with pork chops right in the middle. Cover and simmer until the rice is soft.

Mostly I get too lazy to even put it on a plate and eat it right out of the frying pan.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

haha I have done that too! saves on dishes!

Hey here is an EZ one the JD household has enjoyed on weeknights for years! E-Z Arabian night!

Hummus and Pita!

It used to be obscure, but now pretty much any quality grocery store will stock hummus in a variety of flavors- eggplant, dill, garlic, spinnach, plain. If you don't know what this is, its a chickpea-based spread that goes great on a pita. warm pitas in the microwave, spread with hummus, and then you can top with sliced tomato, cucumber, pickle, cheese...you can be creative. Wrap and Serve. With a side of couscous or yellow rice, you have yourself an authentic and satisfying Arabian-influenced vegetarian meal in 5 minutes.

Anyone out there feel that good pasta sauce is beyond them? Stuck in a Ragu world?

BREAK FREE! SAUCE IS EASY!

In olive oil w/ FRESH garlic, fry up 1 lb. of meat, any will do but I recommend some style of pork. Once cooked, dump in 1 regular can of diced tomato and 1 can of tomato paste. Add some vinegar and red wine (inexpensive wine is fine for cooking), add seasonings. It can be whatever you like, do it to taste. I use basil, garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper, and a little chili powder. Cover and turn heat to simmer. Add water if needed for desired consistancy.

Just let that bubble away and make the resy of your meal. The longer it stews the better off you are. Leftovers? Great! Sauce is always better the next day.

OTHER HINTS: If you use seafood, season carefuly. If you use poultry, add something sweet, flavored coffee syrups work well.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Grilled cheese (sometimes with ham) and soup. That always makes for a nice simple meal without too many dishes.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

I always just call this "Slop."

Brown 1 pound hamburger

Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 can of milk. Heat to bubbling (I sometimes heat it a little longer so it thickens a bit if I've added too much milk).

Serve over thick, toasted bread. Reheats great!

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Beef Au Jus (sounds fancy, but really isn't)

I prefer ingredients form the deli as it makes for a tastier sandwich:

Butter the inside of sub buns and sprinkle on some garlic and onion powder (or be ritzy and use fresh). Layer with roast beef and sliced mozzerella. Bake at about 425 until meat is warm and cheese is melted (usually about 5 minutes).

In the meantime, mix a packet of Au Jus seasoning with water and heat however the directions say.

To eat, dip the sandwich in the broth. Tasty!

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

And my last one: Michelle's chili:

Brown a pound of hamburger. (Optional, add a pound of venison and double the rest of the ingredients.) I always drain and soak up all the grease from the hamburger.

In a nice big pot, add hamburger, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of kidney beans (don't drain), 1 can of water (I usually use the tomato sauce can) or more if needed, a chili seasoning packet, extra chili powder, onion powder, and garlic sauce to taste, a tiny dash of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of honey. Heat thoroughly (about 30 min.) or put it in a slow cooker.

JD, that sounds like it would be good with some cheese, sour cream, and a tortilla!

jstdve · CEO - The KOTO Co.

1 can tuna fish ( in water) 1 can mushroom soup , pinch of water , make sum minute rice, put all on toast, that or a tv dinner

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

It might be a little too runny with that much salsa, Mz. A little less salsa, and cheese melted on top to hold it together and you're right on!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

JD,

Jeremy says you have an awesome recipe for pizza take out that goes nicely with your jazz show on Sundays at 8pm. What do you recommend there?

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

Dylan- ANYTHING from there is awesome stuff. If Riggs is around the studio (seems he always is) we'll get cheese sausage mushroom onion- or the peperroni special is good too. The manacotti dinner rocks too!
