What are some quick and easy recipes?

I don't know what type of meal you are looking for, but this is a recipe I got from one of my neighbors.


Depending on how many people are eating, get 1-2 pounds of ground beef. Scramble it up in a skillet (I like to brown some diced onion in the pan with a little oil first). Then add a can of diced tomatoes and a can of green beans (more if you wish) and let it simmer for a few minutes before putting it in a casserole dish.


Also, cook up some mashed potatoes (I use the kind from a box since it's quicker). Place scoops of the mashed potatoes on top of the hamburger mixture, then bake it in a 350 degree oven until the potatoes turn a little brown on top.

Ingredients





* 6 ounces garlic-flavored croutons


* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


* 1 teaspoon chili powder


* 1 teaspoon dried thyme


* 1/2 onion, roughly chopped


* 1 carrot, peeled and broken


* 3 whole cloves garlic


* 1/2 red bell pepper


* 18 ounces ground chuck


* 18 ounces ground sirloin


* 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


* 1 egg





For the glaze:





* 1/2 cup catsup


* 1 teaspoon ground cumin


* Dash Worcestershire sauce


* Dash hot pepper sauce


* 1 tablespoon honey





Directions





Heat oven to 325 degrees F.





In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed. Combine the vegetable mixture, ground sirloin, and ground chuck with the bread crumb mixture. Season the meat mixture with the kosher salt. Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.





Pack this mixture into a 10-inch loaf pan to mold the shape of the meatloaf. Onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, turn the meatloaf out of the pan onto the center of the tray. Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.





Combine the catsup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and honey. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.
