FireBug asked in Food & DrinkCooking & Recipes · 1 decade ago

I love good food, but have no time to cook?

I am looking for nice easy recipes that don't take too much time or too many hard to find ingredients. The yummiest one gets 10 points. Crock pot recipes are great too.

Update:

So far all the recipes sound good, I am extending the question so that I can try them.

    Great White Hunter Chili

    2 pounds boneless chicken breast

    Two medium onions, chopped

    Two celery ribs, chopped

    Two (4 oz.) cans chopped mild green chilies

    Four cloves garlic, minced

    One Tbsp. olive oil

    Six cups chicken stock

    2 teaspoons cumin

    One ½ teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

    ¼ teaspoon each: white pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper

    Salt to taste

    2-3 cans of Great Northern Beans

    3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

    Chopped fresh cilantro

    Sour cream

    Salsa

    Cut chicken into chunks. In a large sauté pan, add oil. When oil is heated, add chicken chunks and sauté. Remove from pan and add onions, celery and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent. In a crock-pot, place chicken, sautéed vegetables, chilies, stock, and spices. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Add beans and 1-cup cheese and stir until cheese melts. Garnish with remaining cheese, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro

    What you dont eat the first go-around, freeze in portian sizes, then heat and serve when you want a meal . I think this chile is even better after it has been frozen a few days.

    Before you go to work just put a beef roast in the crockpot

    on low . 6-10 hours later when you get home just shred with

    fork and and BBQ and serve on a bun or hoagie. Nothing

    hard about this and by the way most of us have no time to cook.
