I’m not a great cook…
I’m a person who likes easy… simple recipes…
The quick foods that are out right now that you can prepare from the freezer… a box or a bag… “I just love them!”…
Meals in less than 30 minutes…
That’s my kind of cooking…
I might add a pinch of this or that…
Maybe a few veggies to perk it up…
a little more onion or green pepper
…
Maybe a side dish or warm bread …
I’m a “short order” cook…
Quicker the better!…
My newest try today was…
Velveeta Cheesy Casserole Dinner… (from a box)…
This one is called “Shepherd’s Pie“…
Yes, I’ve made it before from scratch many moons ago…
But, basically it’s the same thing…
Everything is just in this bright yellow box except the ground beef …
You just brown the beef… drain… return to skillet… add seasoning/veggie packet and water… Cook for 1 minute…
I added some corn as one of their suggestions…
Put in bottom of casserole dish…
Made instant mashed potatoes that came in the box… adding milk and butter… Microwaved for 3 minutes…
Poured Velveeta Cheese on meat first that comes in a packet… Then placed potatoes on top…
Baked in pre-heated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes…
It gets all bubbly and the potatoes brown a little…
DONE!…
Maybe a piece or two of warm bread…
I cooked!… just in a more simplified way…
and it taste just fine…
I might have to call this “Humble Pie”
instead of “Shepherd’s Pie”… because I humbly apologize to all who don’t use or like these quick meals…
But, I will continue to make them… because that’s the kind of girl I am!
