Brown up the meat with some sprices and veggies and throw it over some rice.

Re: dinner ideas

mmmm.. thats what i was thinking originally.

but i never thought of cinnamon. i only do that if i use too much salt.

i dont have whole basil leaves, just ground.

is it doable?

i need a recipe!

i didn't intend to shoot them all down, i love the ideas, but if i dont have taco shells then i can't do that. same with buns...

i didn't wanna post what i have in my pantry (again )

just wanted to see some suggestions and hope maybe one clicked... barbs might work. if i have everything.

Re: dinner ideas

Fry up the ground beef with some onion,garlic and some italian seasoning. Throw in some sauce. Boil some pasta (i like this with elbows) and mix it all together.

You got dinner

Re: dinner ideas

yea, its fine.

take a sauce pan, put a lil olive oil.. let it heat up.. chop up onions.. throw them in do NOT burn them. medium-low heat.


throw in the chopped meat. add salt pepper oregano basil and cinnamin as its coking chop it up with a wooden spoon.

drain out water and add a can or 2 of tomato or tomato sauce/paste.



u can leave the oil and a lil water so it can be 'saucy'.. pour over pasta.

Re: dinner ideas

Chili - all you need is one of those $.99 packets of chili seasoning and some tomato sauce I think and a can of beans. That's what we're having Wednesday.

Re: dinner ideas

What about baked spaghetti and chopped meat??? Just make spagetti, brown the chopped meat and mix it all together with a little sauce and top with a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup and bake until top is golden. It's good...just sounds gross....

Re: dinner ideas

To draw off of your salad idea few posts back:

I brown the meat, add taco seasoning...

Then I make the salad:
lettuce
corn
tomato
cucumber
shredded cheddar cheese
a spoonful of salsa
add the seasoned meat
(and if you're not watching calories, crush up some tostitos!)

mix and voila! taco salad - i found this awesome guacamole-esque dressing that i use as well... so tasty and filling.
