So, we've gotten in a rut with food lately and I'm looking for some new recipes. Anyone have some good, cheap recipes that I could use for dinner one day? Thanks for the help.

1 pot meals, chicken, beef, pork. It doesn't matter really. I'm just looking for something different and that doesn't cost too much. Thanks.

My mother's Pork Chops. It is stupidly easy, relatively fast, and very tasty.I used to make this in college, and all my buddies thought I was a chef !

Put your chops in a pot. Add fresh green peppers, and fresh onion.

Cover with a can of Campbell's tomato soup and water.

Let sit and simmer till done.


Add or decrease ingredients, depending upon the number of people you plan on serving.

Cinnamon Roll Cobbler

1 tube refridgerated cinnamon rolls
2 cans cherry, apple, blueberry or peach pie filling

Generously grease an 8in. baking dish. Pour cans of pie filling evenly into bottom. Place the cinnamon roll dough lightly on top of the filling. Bake at 400°, checking every 10 minutes. You'll know the dough is done when it turns a golden brown and isn't squishy when touched. Remove from oven, let stand 1 minute. Spread the topping that came with the roll dough over every roll. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
*This doesn't keep well after the first day and a half.

Easy ones I throw together when I'm short on time, and are favorites in my house...


Fresh hot italin sausage links
Cut red and green peppers and onions if you like into strips. Throw it all in a casserole pan with a lid. Pour a jar of spaghetti sauce over it. Cover and cook on 350 for one hour. Serve over noodles or rice (I prefer spaghetti noodles)



A-1 fajita's... I'm not a fan of A-1, but these are pretty good.
1lb beef cut into strips(really doesn't matter what you use)
Green and red peppers, and onions cut in strips.

Marinate meat in 1/2 cup A-1, and 1/2 cup salsa for atleast 1 hour.

Throw peppers and onions in frying pan with a little bit of oil untill still a little crisp, add meat, cook untill meat is done.. Throw in shells with cheese.


Easy chicken pot pie.

3 chicken breasts, diced, season with salt pepper garlic, whatever else you chose, throw in oven about 20 minutes. Mix with 2 cans cream chicken soup. Add a bag of frozen veggies. (I also dice and boil a few potatos and throw them in. Mix all together in casserole dish, bake 20 min on 350, take a tube of cressent rolls, spread on top, bake untill golden.
