Well I didn't sew again today...I did laundry, cleaned up around the house and now I am cooking dinner. We are having Easy Skillet Chili Mac.
Easy Skillet Chili Mac
½ cup chopped onion
1 lb lean ground beef
8 ounces elbow macaroni (2 cups)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, undrained
1 large can (16 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 t. chili powder
1 t. salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (Can substitute American Cheese slices)
In a large skillet, brown onion with ground beef. Add macaroni, kidney beans, tomato sauce, water, diced tomatoes, chili powder and salt. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; cover and continue to heat until cheese is melted.
This is what we are having for dinner tonight because it is quick and easy…if you have any recipes you think I would like, please send them my way…I am trying to eat healthier and at home more. This meal isn’t healthier but it isn’t the worst thing for me.
Sounds so nummy I printed it out already. I need to start eating healthier too and more here at home. I am also looking for quick meals since working all day I sure don't have the patience to come home and take hours to cook.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good and easy meal to make. I'm always looking for those. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI may even try it tonight.

Maureen,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good quick meal.
I have two that you might like...The first one is Lemon Chicken with Thyme... I usually make this with rice and steamed broccoli. It can be found at the below link.

I also have a 'quick' chicken one where I just dust the boneless,skinless chicken breast with flour and pan fry in a little bit of olive oil until cooked through. Remove from the pan, add 1/4 cup of either lemon or lime juice with some of the zest and 1/4 cup of water into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add a tablespoon or two of butter to the sauce. Serve over chicken and rice. You could also omit the sauce and instead cover with warmed spaghetti sauce and cheese for a chicken parm.
Hope that helps!

Deb - Thanks for the recipes I will have to try both of them!
