Tuna Pasta

Mix together two cans of tuna with your desired amount of mayo. cook pasta (i usually use spirals or shells) and mix together. the kids I sit for love it as does my whole family. it takes roughly 10 minutes to make and is great cold or hot.

I've cut everything in half for this recipe and it should serve 3-4 people I usually keep it doubled for my family because we eat the leftovers the next morning if there is any.

1 Pack of sausage (not the pattys and not the little log ones.)
1 pack of bisquick (indvidaul pack)
2 cups of cheese.

*preheat oven to 350*

fry up the sausage until it's done
Pour the bisquick, 2 cups of cheese and sausage all together in a bowl *keep some grease to mix in it.* mix it all together weather with fork/spoon or with your hands.
Make into balls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15-25 minutes *some may take longer may take less depending on the oven*

Serve usually 2-3 a piece fills us up and then we save the rest until the next a.m. and grab as we're runnin out the door. I usually do not like giving soft drinks to my family with our meals but add a coke to it and it's a treat all together so when we do have them it is a treat to have the soft drinks.

Italian Chicken

We use a pound of the boneless skinless chicken breast but I guess you could use any kind of chicken with it..

I recommend the Robusto Italian dressing for this as well.

Marinate the chicken in the italian dressing all day or however long you like, put it in a 8x8 baking dish, pop it in the oven for an hour or until chicken is done.

Soo good, we had it lastnight for dinner

Slice potatoes place in a 9x13 dish season with salt and pepper , use the monterey steak seasoning and mix in the potatoes and onoin and garlic powder also. once all mixed place 4 tbsp butter evenly over top cook at 425 for 20-30 min before done sprinkle cheese on top to melt in , voila and yummy

chili

28 oz crushed tomatoes

we like ours pretty spicy, so i also add 1 T crushed red pepper flakes and about 1/2 T cumin.

brown ground beef, add onions and garlic and cook until onion is soft.

in a blender, combine tomato sauce, vinegar, chili powder (and red pepper flakes and cumin if you want to add those).

drain and rinse beans, add to beef. add crushed tomatoes and blender mixture. stir well and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Tuna Fish & Noodles!

In a pan boil water, put egg noodles in until done
Drain water
Put the noodles back in the pan & add the can of soup, milk & tunafish.
Stir it all up, let it heat up then serve!


Very easy & very yummy!!

It is really good & takes all of about 20 minutes or so to make! We have it quite a bit! Peas would be good in it too!
