Help. I need simple recipes. ?

Question

I can't cook and I am sick of take away food. Please help me with some simple recipes that even a moron like me can prepare without too much hassle. Thanks!

Answer 1

Tacos: fry ground beef add a sauce packet you get in a market

Bacon Broccoli Noodles:   Boil your wide or kaluski noodles fry your bacon however you like and steam the broccoli mix

Haluski:  Shredded/chopped cabbage, wide noodle, sausage/kelbalsa:  fry cabbage and sausage together boil noodles mix.

Linguini and clam sauce:  Boil linguini add a can of Clams with sauce.

I have more let me look in my books

Answer 2

Here is my simplest recipe (its pretty tasty):

Boil up some pasta (whatever variety you like, and however much you want), in the last couple of minutes cooking, tip in a couple of handfuls of frozen peas.  Boil until the pasta is done, and the peas are hot.

Drain the pasta and peas well.  Flake some hot smoked trout, or mackerel, or whatever smoked fish you like (when I say hot smoked, I mean the way it is smoked, not that it should be hot...it should be cold).  

Add the fish into the pasta, and then stir in a big blob of horseradish sauce (depending on how hot you want it) and some yogurt or creme fraiche.  Stir through, add a handful of rocket leaves, and serve.

Answer 3

Kielbasa recipe

2 peppers, chopped

1 onion, chopped

Kielbasa, chopped, cut at a slant, the more meat that is shown the better

1 C rice

28oz canned tomatoes (DO NOT DRAIN)

Stir all together.

Bake at 300-350F for 2 hours.

May need more water though, check at half hour intervals.

To serve, place scoop on a plate & add a dab of butter. The butter is very important

Answer 4

Bruschetta:

You need - ciabatta (bready thing), garlic cloves, chopped tomatoes (the canned type), mozarella and parma ham.

Toast the ciabatta, rub with garlic cloves, put some tomatoes on, then parma ham, then mozarella, then grill until the cheese has melted :)

Chicken fajitas:

You need - fajita wraps, chicken (sliced, if you can't be bothered doing it yourself...that's what I do), vegetables like peppers, onions, or whatever else, sauce (old el paso (or whatever they're called) do sauces).

Fry chicken, grill/fry/whatever else you like the vegetables; put it all in the wraps, pour the sauce over (or you can add that into the veggies or chicken when you're cooking to heat up the sauce), fold the wraps and voila, munch away!

Answer 5

when i am busy but don't want to order takeaway these are a few meal ideas i use;

boiled pasta, drained, then add jar of any flavour pasta sauce.

roast chicken pulled off the bone added to a jar of curry sauce, with boiled rice.

pre-cooked chicken b*****s topped with bbq sauce, wrapped in bacon and grated cheese on top (wrap in foil and put in oven for 15 mins), served with fries and salad.

thick slice of toasted bread, spread with tomato pasta sauce grated cheese and toppings such as chopped ham and mushroom, grill till cheese bubbles for quick pizzas.

Answer 6

Beef Stroganoff

Classic light, tangy beef dish. Easy to make and delicious.

SERVES 4

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

8 ounces sour cream

10 1/2 ounces cream of potato soup

1/4 large white onion

2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon tarragon leaf

egg noodles

Directions

1. Brown ground beef, drain, and return to pan.

2. Add onion, pepper, salt, and cardamom and fry until onions are to liking.

4. Serve over egg noodles and top with terragon leaves.

I usually use cream of mushroom soup instead and skip the tarragon and cardamom .

Answer 7

You can go on to Bettycrocker.com and they have tons of recipes especially for smaller dinners too. Tacos are always easy to follow on the back of the packets of taco mix at the store, if you look at those different packets by the gravy mixes they are simple to follow...meatloaf, sloppy joes, stew, chili, etc... very easy as I cannot cook the best either but if I use stuff like that it is very easy. Good Luck!!

AND EASY!!!

Answer 9

Good for you for being interested in cooking.  I absolutely love to cook, but it wasn't always so...  when I moved out of home to go to university, I had a lot to learn.  

I can suggest one starter cookbook that is well diagrammed and explained, that isn't complicated but has a huge variety of foods in it:  The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook.  It gives info about how to buy and store food, and really good basic stuff, with good photos.  This way you can look up your favourite foods and figure out how to make them.

You can find this at pretty much any bookstore, and I've attached a link below.  Happy cooking!

Answer 10

Stews and casseroles are very straightforward.  Fry some meat, quickly turning it on all sides, to seal in the juices. Add chopped root vegetables (potatoes, onion, carrot + parsnip / turnip if you wish), a vegetable stock cube and enough water to cover, then simmer until  all the vegetables are tender.  By then, the meat will be cooked well, and you could thicken the liquid with gravy granules, or serve it as it is, as a soup.  A chopped stick of celery is nice in this too.  One pot cookery, minimal washing up.

Bacon and cabbage is another one pot meal. Simmer a piece of bacon for 40 minutes (at the same time steam potatoes in a colander placed above the meat, in the same pot) then add shredded cabbage in with the bacon and cook for another 10 minutes or so.  This liquid would not be suitable for soup  -  so discard.

Use up bread slices by covering with tomato sauce, top with any leftover vegetables or meat pieces you have, top with grated cheese and grill until the cheese is melted.
