One can tuna mixed with your choice of sweet or dill pickel relish, mayo, a little dab of mustard and some pepper and red pepper flakes. Spread half the mix over each half of a sliced bagel. Place in the over at 350 for 10 minutes. The last couple minutes melt a slice of cheese over the top. Absolutely delicious.....one of my favorite quick easy no mess dinners.

We do breakfast for dinner a few nights a month around here. Pretty quick and easy to do waffles or pancakes. I also tend to keep a few mountain house biscuits and gravy in the pantry. They are quick and easy and tasty enough :chuckle:

Another one I do is a hamburger gravy on boiled potatoes. If you have it available, a quick flash fry some seasoned salmon chunks and throw it on some romaine or Bibb lettuce with red onions, parmesan, croutons and Caesar dressing.
If you could tell me what kind of material you usually have available in your house, that would give me a better idea what ideas I could give you.

What you need:
2/3 or 3/4 cup Albers Quick Grits
1/4 large yellow onion
1/4 stick butter
1 or 2 Johnsonville smoky brat or Italian brat
two pickled jalapenos plus a couple of the included spicy carrot slices (La Costena comes to mind)
salt
whatever else you want to throw in (a fried egg, fried spam, cheddar cheese)
What you do:
Slice onion and jalapeno "French" style (long slices), slice the brats banana style.
Cook the grits with appropriate amount of water (instructions on box) along with onion.
When grits thicken and are no longer soupy, add remaining ingredients. Stir. Serve in bowl to retain heat.
Enjoy the "Captain's Breakfast" and know that you've consumed enough calories to kick butt all....day....long.

Cooked chicken breast on bibb, romaine or leaf lettuce with avocado, tomato, red onions and croutons, with your choice of dressing.
" " sliced up pears, bacon, avocado, red onions, walnuts or pecans, croutons and blue cheese dressing.
" " sliced up left over steak, tomato, red onion, blue cheese crumbles, croutons and blue cheese dressing.
Or a mix and match wildcard cobb salad using Iceberg lettuce with your choice of copped up lunch meat or left over meat, boiled egg, shredded carrot, tomato, pickled beets, garbanzo beans, bacon, onions of any kind, avocado, cucumber, cheese, olives, zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, red or green bell peppers, croutons, nuts, etc. I prefer blue cheese or ranch dressing on this kind of salad, maybe a thousand island or Russian would be good too.
The possibilities are endless with the big dinner salads.

Tuna bagelIf you don't have a bagel, an English muffin will do as well. You could add a slice of tomato on top before the cheese, that's good too.

One package chicken thighs, two cans cream of mushroom soup, put is all in the crock pot. Serve over noodles or spuds or tice

Once a month or so I cook a giant batch of spaghetti and then vacuum seal it into meal sized portions. Its great to grab a couple out for dinner, or bring one to work for lunch. Same goes for chili. Huge batch, and then get yourself a bunch of the pint sized mason jars. Fill them to a half inch from the top, screw the lid on, throw in the freezer. I have 10 jars in there right now. Makes for great hunting meals too during the season. Its already frozen, keeps in the cooler great for a week +
At the beginning of any given week I will also grill 6 or 8 chicken breasts/thighs or a couple pounds of elk steaks. I can add them to some pasta and pesto for a quick evening meal, or just to chopped veggies and romaine for a great salad.

Spaghetti squash with manwich sauce and burger mixed in and broiled with some cheese on top tonight. Weird but tasty
And watermelon as a side :chuckle:
OMG I thought I was the only person doing this minus the cheese. I can't eat wheat or soy or dairy but really wanted sloppy joe so I put it on spaghetti squash and my sister thought I was weird. that sauce is also good on roasted cauliflower.
I mostly do meal prep for the week on one of my days off so I have pre prepared rice, beans poached chicken and just have to chop some salad veggies or steam veggies. My favorite breakfast is a couple bites of chicken and half an avocado.

I just picked up a package of pork butt and we are going to do a big batch of chili verde to can.
Also, Trader Joes has a pretty good frozen teriyaki chicken. Nuke it and some of their frozen green beans, while the rice cooker cooks the jasmine rice, and you're good to go.
These soups aren't a bad option. Brown and freeze some ground beef or italian pork sausage ahead of time.

meat patty
1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/3 cup bread crumbs
Sauce
2 pack of brown gray mix
2 cups water
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
Mix together the ingredients for the meat patty together then grab a hand full and roll it into a ball then press them out I use a little round sauce to make the patty even then pan fry them in a little butter. While your frying the patties mix the sauce ingredients together and once the patties are nice and browned add the sauce and let it thicken on low. I cook in a large cast iron skillet for best results. serve on some garlic mashed potatoes this takes under 30 minutes to prep and serve.

Make enough pancakes/waffles to freeze or keep in deli drawer, then pop in toaster.
Before my pup passed we had a rough time getting pills down her throat. The tumor had effected the ability to get her mouth open enough for me to get my hand down there. She absolutely LOVED pancakes!! So I bought frozen pancakes by the bag from Winco. Didn't expect much from those as I hate Egos. Those Winco hotcakes are awesome! We now keep a bag of each flavor in the freezer for those quick "breakfast for dinner" occasions.

Meat, veggies, pasta. Toss some leftover chicken and frozen peas in with some pasta-roni.
Tater tots casserole. I made a big one two nights ago and still have some in the fridge. Ground venison/beef, mushroom soup, green beans, tater tots.
Soup! I love soups! You can make it from scratch, buy frozen bags that just require water, or buy the dehydrated stuff like bear creek and then add leftover meat and frozen veggies.

Cook a pork butt and shred. Then you can make pulled pork sandwiches by adding new sauce and buns. Next night you can do tacos or burritos.
Cook a whole chicken and strip off bones. You can again do tacos or burritos. You can also use the meat for salads or soup. We also use it to make pot pie.
Home made soups in the crock pot. Navy bean, split pea etc
Ham steaks from Costco
Package of biscuits. Roll flat. Add shredded cheese and hamburger with manwich mix. Close like a calzone. Bake for 10-12 min.
Package of biscuits. Roll flat. Dab spaghetti sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese. Close like a capstone. Bake for 10-12 min.
Beef stroganoff. Hamburger, sour cream and milk. Package of egg noodles.

I didn't know this until recently, but they make frozen rice that you just microwave for 5 minutes. Quick, easy and no pans to boil over or clean up :tup:
Rice is about the only grain I can eat. I cook a big soup pot of rice, then put it in freezer bags and freeze much cheaper than buying the frozen stuff.
Being a one person household and always having cooked for 4+ people, I freeze a lot of meals cheaper and better than the stuff you buy.
