My kids love cheesy tuna pasta with some frozen peas. We just use whatever cheese we have at the time! Sometimes I even throw in frozen cauliflower rice if I have it on hand.
Thanks for some new recipes. Will be trying the chili. I love using my crockpot. By dinnertime, I'm tired and who feels like cooking. Fix it in the morning and forget it. Even in the summer, it helps to keep the kitchen cool. I also love my meat masher, got mine at the Dollar Tree a couple years ago.
Sometimes I don't want to head to the store because I am lazy and my biggest tips are to look at dried milk and shelf stable milk. Also you can buy egg powder or egg subsitute ( which is also a powder) and when you R out of these items half way in the middle of baking they work awesome.
Homemade Ketchup: Ingredients: 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, ½ cup water, divided, ⅔ cup white sugar, ¾ cup distilled white vinegar, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 ¾ teaspoons salt, ⅛ teaspoon celery salt, ⅛ teaspoon mustard powder, ¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper, 1 whole clove. Directions: Pour tomatoes into slow cooker. Swirl 1/4 cup water in each emptied can and pour into the slow cooker. Add sugar, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, celery salt, mustard powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and whole clove; whisk to combine. Cook on High, uncovered, until mixture is reduced by half and very thick, 10 to 12 hours. Stir every hour or so. Use an immersion blender for about 20 seconds to smooth the texture of the ketchup. Ladle ketchup into a fine strainer and press mixture with the back of a ladle to strain out any skins and seeds. Transfer strained ketchup to a bowl. Cool completely. Taste and adjust salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper as desired. Homemade Bisquick Baking Mix Ingredients: 4 cups all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp. baking powder 1 ½ tsp. salt 2 tsp. sugar ½ cup melted butter (you can use shortening if you don’t want to refrigerate your mix if you prefer) Directions: 1. In a stand mixer combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well mixed. 2. While mixer is going slowly pour melted butter into bowl to distribute evenly. If you are using shortening, cut in the shortening. 3. Allow to mix for 1 full minute. 4. You can mix this by hand, and I have, but I find using my stand mixer gives it a more even distribution- especially the butter. This will give you more consistent results in your baking. 5. Transfer to an airtight container like a mason jar or freezer bag and store in refrigerator or freezer for 3-4 weeks. Homemade Bisquick makes 1 cup Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter Directions Sift flour into a bowl; add baking powder and salt and whisk until fully incorporated. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter until evenly combined. Tips: Shortening or oil can be used in place of butter, if desired. If using melted butter, be sure to evenly disperse the butter as much as possible. Make your own Hamburger Helper: Prep Time 5 minutes, Cook Time 20 minutes, Servings 4 people Ingredients 1 teaspoon corn starch or arrowroot powder, or flour 2 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni Instructions: Mix ingredients together in a bag or jar. Cooking Directions When we are ready to make, brown up 1 lb. of ground beef in a 10 or 12 inch skillet. Add in the mix and 1 cup water and 2 cups of milk. Cover the skillet and let the pasta simmer and cook until the pasta is done. Try not to boil the mixture too hard or you may not have enough liquid. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese before serving. That's it! or Ingredients: 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch, 1 Tablespoon paprika, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 cups hot water (or beef broth or chicken broth), 1 ½ cups milk, 2 cups dry cavatappi pasta or macaroni noodles, 2 cups grated cheddar cheese. INSTRUCTIONS: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, then add the ground beef and break it up, cooking and stirring until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any remaining fat in the pan. Sprinkle the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, sugar, and pepper over the browned meat and stir well to evenly distribute the spices. Add the hot water, milk, and pasta, then bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat and simmer for 8-11 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the cooked pasta and stir until melted into the sauce. Remove from the heat, and let stand for a few minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, then serve. #2. Make your own Condensed Cream of soups using broth, milk and corn starch: such as: CREAM OF CELERY SOUP: 5 Pints WATER, 3 C. CELERY, CHOPPED FINE, 1 TBSP. BUTTER, 1 TBSP. FLOUR, 1 C MILK, celery salt or extract, salt & pepper to taste, 1 cup milk, scalded. Cook the celery in water until very tender, drain. Melt butter in saucepan and stir in flour; slowly add in milk and cook till thick. Rib celery through a sieve, add to milk mixture. Add celery salt or extract and salt & pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the hot milk just before serving for a rich delicious soup.

That’s how I’ve been feeling a lot these days. Definitely low energy towards the end of the day. Crockpot meals have been saving me 😅
