Quick Good Meal Idea's?

Question

I don't get home till 5pm form work and my Fiance works third shift So by the time I get home make dinner we eat and clean up we only have a little while to spend together. I am so sick of eating the same ol' things over and over again and then every other recipe takes like over an hour to fix. Any Idea's? Also I would like a quick simple meat loaf recipe too! Thanks for all your help!

Answer 2

Invest in a crock pot.  It is the best money spent, IMO.  Dinner will be ready when you get home, and clean up is a breeze (they even have the crock pot bags, but I don't use them).  I've used mine for everything from chicken to BBQ to chili and soups to pot roasts to mexican casseroles.  I've heard you can even make bread in them, but I haven't tried it.    

Meat loaf -

2 lbs meat

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

worcestershire sauce

1 bag of onion soup mix (splurge for the liptons)

salt pepper

350-degrees for an hour and 15 minutes

Answer 3

Dried red pepper and olive oil in a pan with slices of chicken, over steamed rice. Takes 15 minutes and it is cheap as h**l, as well as delicious...
