If you go to Kraft's website, they've got a ton of really good recipes that are cheap and simple to make. I particularly am fond of their casserole section and have a taco casserole and a ham/pea/mac and cheese casserole that are both particularly good.
Got this one from the food network magazine and my parents keep asking for them, so:
Taco burgers
- Make your basic hamburger patty- I like to mix a bit of lean and a bit of chuck so it's still kinda healthy, sort of. Sprinkle each side with oregano, chili powder and cumin. - Grill burgers. Grill the buns if you want, too - Assemble burgers like-a-so: bun, guacamole, burger, shredded cheese, a small scoop of rotel tomatoes, and either lettuce or a few tortilla chips for crunch, bun.
Here's my mom's guacamole, too:
Mix one avocado with probably.. around a quarter cup of diced onions and tomatoes, and one or two diced jalepenos, minus seeds. Or with a few seeds if you like spice. Add salt, pepper and fresh cliantro to taste.
You can substitute the guacamole for something else taco-ish if you don't like avocados. I like to buy mini potato buns and make taco burger sliders, then I usually slice up a potato and bake them in the oven with olive oil/salt/pepper for cheap homemade fries.
Okay, I call these my ghetto meat pies, cause it cheats on the recipe. You need hamburger meat, some type of gravy-- (I use cream of mushroom by myself, but if I cook for my friend, something non-mushroom-y. Can be tomato sauce, brown gravy, whatever is your fancy.) Onions for flavor. Crescent rolls.
You brown the meat until it's all the way cooked, brown the onions with it, flavor it the way you want. Mix it up with the gravy choice and then spoon them into the flattened rolls. Roll 'em up again and sort of seal the edges. Use about a spoonful to two spoonfuls of the mixture. Stick them in the oven for the amount of time it takes your rolls to cook and voila! Food! :D
Shrimp My Way! Very simple; just cook some shrimp in a pan with oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, and serve it over rice. It's totally delicious!
