Meal help!

[wesleysgirl]

I am in a total rut as far as cooking dinners goes. I'm bored with our meals -- so bored that I can barely bring myself to cook at all. I need help!

Please leave a comment with one suggestion of a meal we can have for dinner next week. It doesn't have to include a recipe (although if you want to link me to one you've used, that would rock)!

"Grandma's Stuff"

1 lb ground beef
2 cans tomato soup (use undiluted)
2 squeezes of ketchup
2 cups elbow macaroni

brown your meet, add the cans of tomato soup and 2 squeezes of ketchup (you can use more or less -- it's to add flavor)
Let simmer while you cook your elbow macaroni -- for this you want it well-cooked and *not* aldente
Drain macaroni, add to meat mixture, let sit on lowest heating for 15 mins to an hour.

Leftovers reheat really easily and taste even better so you can even to this earlier in the day, refrigerate it and then just reheat, either on stove top or in microwave.

The great thing about this recipe is you can mix and match I usually use the extra lean ground beef, but there's no reason you couldn't also make it with ground chicken or turkey or some ground tofu. You can use any kind of macaroni -- we have done it with the rotini when we were out of elbows. You can also add in some Italian herbs if you want, though we usually just salt and pepper it to taste in our bowls. Campbells are also putting out various flavored tomato soups and you could use those if you wanted, too.
