20-minute Egg-Drop Chili
Creamy-tasting shortcut meatless chili. Makes a very filling meal for two, could easily be doubled. If you're a vegetarian, I'm sure there are veggie chili beans out there, or you could probably just sub a can of pintos with some extra spices. Continue reading

Loosemeat Sandwiches
Kind of a Sloppy Joe without tomatoes (or slop). I can't claim credit for this one; it's from recipezaar, but with my modifications. One of our absolute favorites! Use a cast iron skillet if you have one; it makes for a wonderful flavor, even though it's a little more work to clean. This makes about 4 to 6 sandwiches, depending on the size buns you get. Warning: my husband and I regularly eat this in one sitting, alone, when I make the whole recipe, so make sure you make enough! Continue reading
Microwave Meatloaf
I learned the method from my dad, but the seasoning is my own. Serves about 4-6, depending on your appetite. Feel free to adjust the seasoning as you wish. 🙂
Please note: this recipe is intended for use with a newer microwave oven, with wattage of 1000 or more. If yours isn't that powerful, you may need to adjust the time up. Just make sure it reaches a safe internal temperature, especially if using turkey. Continue reading
Beer and Coffee Chili
The last and best Chili you will ever make. The ingredients, while unusual to those that have been making standard chili for years, create a fantastic myriad of flavors that really bring chili out of the chilidog and nacho cheese set. Continue reading
Tater Tot Casserole
Total junk food. Also comfort food and kid food. Sounds disgusting, tastes really good. Also a one-dish meal, if you're lazy about it and serve nothing else. Continue reading
