Buy frozen cocktail meatballs and
cook with a can of jellied cranberry sauce and a bottle of chili sauce. Combine the 2 sauces and heat until smooth, then add the meatballs and cook until they are hot.
Good ole Vasoline petroleum jelly.
meatballs
Make them yourself about 1 inch or less or premade that you buy. Suatee the meatballs in a skillet of jellied cranberry sauce and water down on lot heat with a can of Ginger-Ale, depending on how thick you want the sauce. Delicious. So easy. Has a sweet and sour taste. Have gotten lots of compliments on this. Can't get any easier than this, or more delicious.
sweet and sour meatballs
Pre-brown quarter-sized meatballs in a skillet if you made them yourself, or you can even cheat and buy them frozen from Hormel in the frozen food department. Sautee them slowly in a skillet of one can of jellied cranberry sauce and part of a can of 7-Up. Add the 7-up to desired consistency of the cranberry to make the sauce as thick or thin as you like. I do not measure, I just cook them slowly. Nothing can be more simple. I take all the credit even if I user Hormal meatballs - takes the pressure off me and is delicious.
Ah, those marshmallow meatballs will kill ya

KY Jelly
I had an older friend many years ago who reached for a tube of KY Jelly on her nightstand when making whoopie but after application discovered she had gotten Ben Gay! Talk about in the heat of the moment! OUCH!
I do one better-PB, Jelly, and bananas (nm)
I imagine the jelly makes the PB go down! :)
It's funny to watch dogs with peanut butter - they love it, but it takes work just to swallow a little glob of it. You can hear them smacking their lips for hours.
chocolate bunnies and jelly beans - wait -
that's desert! dinner favorite is ham .
SF ice pops, jelly beans, other hard candy. And baby carrots with almond

You can use them in turkey chili for one
thing. DH is the cook, but he does that. After adding chili powder it will still taste like chili, which he puts basil in anyway.
Ground turkey (brown first)
tomato sauce
canned tomatoes
onion
canned red beans
canned black beans
frozen lima beans
Picsweet frozen corn added near end of cooking time.
Add browned ground turkey and all ingredients in a crock pot and cook together, except hold the corn out until near the end for sweetest, freshest zing in your chili. The frozen limas and corn are colorful and fresh-tasting additions, we find.
Green and red chili!!!
In my opinion there's not much that can't be made better by the addition of green or red chili. I cook pinto beans with lots of green chili and bacon bits with a bunch of spices and they are sooooo good. And the combination of potatoes and red chili to me is just one of the best things ever.
how about some hot chocolate or big bowl of chili
I am going to make chicken with stuffing for dinner tonight and tomorrow meatloaf cause it is only going to be in the 40s for high temps.
LOL, sounds like my house. DH is making his chili, YUM
He got off work early because of the icy rain.
check out this recipe/link for chili
It's pretty good, although I prefer the package kind and with less meat. My son likes this one, though. It calls for FIVE POUNDS LOLOL!! I just use 3...I can't even see how 5 pounds would work. Three is pretty much ;-)
Tortilla chips and chili cheese dip. I make
the dip with velveeta mexican mild cheese and 1 can of chili without beans. Recipe is on velveeta box. I also get lots of fruits - strawberries, bananas, kiwi, apples, marshmallows and a whole bunch of other things and cut it up myself. I also have a very small crockpot that I put 2 bags of chocolate chips in to melt - goes great with the fruit and keeps most of the kids (and adults) happy. I buy a bag of shish kabob sticks so they can dip everything instead of having fingers going in. Buy some sandwich meat and cheese, spread it nicely on a platter, get different kinds of bread and let them make their own sandwiches. Macaroni and potato salad.
The guys in my family have a chili/soup cookoff
so the women don't have to do much except enjoy. I like the below poster mainly enjoy the commercials. This year is a little more special becuase one of the Giants graduated just a few years ago from the high school my children now attend. I can still remember constantly hearing his name at all the high school football games.
Add green chili and some cheese, and I'd have died and gone to heaven! nm

Be sure to open a coupla windows....chili is a fart-fest...sm
They'll get to jumpin' up and yellin' at the TV/game after feeding and all of a sudden somebody will rip a ripe one! Ya may as well consider making that classic Knorr Swiss spinach dip with lots of shallots/onions as well.... Cat

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
BBQ sauce
simple - sweet baby ray's
not so simple - To start: 1 can of tomato sauce, a little bit of molasses, a little bit of brown sugar, a little bit of onion powder, a little bit of garlic powder, a little bit of dried mustard. Then try, depending on your taste: a little bit of liquid smoke, a little bit of honey, a little bit of beer, or a little bit of whiskey. Not all together, though, just try some stuff. Good luck!
Like a frozen margarita. nm

Sorry, did you mean Maul's BBQ sauce? nm

frozen eggs
You can buy frozen egg/biscuit sandwiches in the frozen section of the grocery store (think Jimmy Dean brand)which you can then microwave, so I would assume you could make your own. The worst that could happen is do a trial run of 1 and see how it turns out. Great idea for the kids, not to mention cheaper if you make them yourself. Never thought of it, but may try it for myself! I make my own mini-TV dinners out of leftovers and freeze them and then microwave them which is another good idea in my mind.
frozen eggs
You can freeze eggs but they tend to get a little rubbery. Scambled eggs are better to freeze than fried eggs though, don't get rubbery. And eggs you cook yourself and freeze are different than the eggs you get on breakfast sandiwches you buy at the store in the freezer section. Good luck. Just thought I would share this with you. My husband is a chef, went to culinary school and all.
I have never frozen spinach myself...
but you can buy frozen spinach, it's cooked first and then when you 'cook' it you are thawing it/reheating it.
As for mushrooms, I sautee them first then freeze.
HTH
can milk be frozen?
and still be good to drink?
Don't do frozen. We get the "family"
size from Papa Murphy's.
Just throw in some spice-like Hot Sauce....BAM it!
Need cocktail smokies sauce
A lady I used to work with had 2 different combos for cocktail smokies or meatball sauces. Both only had 2 ingredients. I think one was a combination of chili sauce and grape jelly. And there was another one that was a combination of yellow mustard and I can't remember the other thing. One is a really sweet sauce, the other not so richly sweet (the one with the mustard). These are real common sauces but I am totally having a brain fart here...LOL Anyone remember what goes with the mustard?

can cubed cheese be frozen?
I have a big cheese platter left over from a party this weekend. It consists various cubed cheeses. Did anyone ever freeze cheese?
Thanks
Another frozen dinner. ( I don't cook.)

...If it seems like too much soup for the sauce, then just leave

white cheese sauce
Our family frequents a mexican restaurant and they have this awesome cheese sauce. Wonder if anyone has a recipe they use and would be willing to share. I tried something yesterday evening and it was a disaster!

Never buy frozen pizza from the store
I have never found one that does not taste like eating a piece of cardboard. I have a Johnny's Pizza probably as close as the nearest store and my goodness, what terrific pizza but I also love my pepperoni and green olive stromboli. Yum, yum.

Roast Beef and Sauce in Crock Pot
Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast. You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.
Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.
Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot. Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low. About 8 hours or so. I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies. 
OOPS! TYPO! Tomator sauce?? LOL nm

Dad loves the cranberry sauce shaped like a can. My MIL
heats the sweet potato "cakes". The kind that come in the shape of a circle. What are they called?
My MIL makes spaghetti sauce and freezes
it in ice cube trays. You can pasta and just keep in the fridge and use however much you would like. It can also be frozen.

Whatever frozen dinner I can find in the freezer
(I don't cook).
Be careful using it with a frozen casserole. I bought
the casserole. It said to bake it on a cookie sheet, so I pulled out my stone. The stone broke into 3 pieces during cooking, so I learned never to do that again. I have 2, one is black because it has been used so much, but I love them. I just don't put anything frozen solid on them anymore, including biscuits. I am probably paranoid, but after the first one I have broke like that, I feel it is just better safe than sorry.
