Tell me what to make for dinner, GO:?

Well.. the easiest thing to make for me is a... (sorry.. just too obvious for me) RESERVATION!

However, I know you want dinner ideas.. So, here goes!

1. Spaghetti and Marinara Sauce. I like Rao's, but the regular jarred sauces can be doctoredd up with a tablespoon of sugar, some fresh basil, and a slug or two or a good red wine.

2. Chili Cheese Dogs. Our babysitter said she prays for these when she comes and I have a dinner planned.

3. Taco and Burrito Night. Have some green chile, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, hot sauces, and flour and corn tortillas available. Lots of sour cream and guacamole is great too!

4. Pot Roast. Real Old Fashioned Comfort Food. This is the real deal. A big hunk of chuck roast slow cooked in a tight lidded pot (I use lecreuset) with root vegetables.. oh, and the gravy! Yum!

5. Shepherd's Pie. Can we say.. YUM?

6. Homemade Pizza. You'd be shocked at how easy and simple the dough is.. and toppings are up to you!

7. Lima Bean Soup with Ham and Homemade Cornbread.. good golly Miss Molly!

8. Pork and Sauerkraut and have baked or boiled potatoes. Gotta have jell-o for dessert.. not really, but it is sort of really a fifties kind of food.

9. Steak. A nice rib eye or NY Strip.. grilled or pan seared, baked potato, big chopped salad, and some garlic bread. Hello gut buster? But, oh so good!

10. Grilled Hamburgers! We call ours "California Burgers". They are a salad on a cheeseburger and a delicious kaiser roll! Or.. think Jimmy Buffett here..

I like mine with lettuce and tomato

Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes

Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer

Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my

Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)

Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)

Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)

To get a cheeseburger in paradise

To be a cheeseburger in paradise

I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Now.. dance your way into some epicurian delights!

Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches

Get a hunk of lean beef.

Cut it in half.

Put it into a heavy pot.

In a bowl, put a big can of cream of mushroom soup and a packet of generic dry onion soup.

Mix with a can of water.

Pour over the meat.

Cover and cook over low heat for 1-1 1/2 hr or in a crock pot with half the water on high for 6 hrs.

Serve sliced thin on bread with mashed or french fries and a veggie.

1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them:

Beef tips with gravy,

Roast with gravy,

Pork roast,

Chicken,

Baked ham,

Pork chops,

Meatloaf,

etc.

Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.

.

You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.

.

Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.

.

Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.

.

Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:

.

You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.

.

2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.

Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

.

3. Video On How To Cook A Rib Eye Steak on Stove Burner (turn on your sound), click this link:

.

4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.

.

5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.

There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store, Walmart, and etc.

Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:
