Easy enchiladas. Any guy can do these to impress the wiff and you'll have to burn them to screw them up. Don't let the boxes fool you either. These could be served in a resturaunt with minor, personal touches. You can make your own spanish rice or enchilada sauce if you'd like, but it's as pointless as making your own ketchup or canning tomatoes.

1 can enchilada sauce. I prefer Old El Paso. What ever you do, don't use Western Family, it sucks.

Brown beef with taco seasoning.
Cook 1 box Zatarian's Spanish Rice according to instructions. I hate tomatoes but trust me stewed tomatoes are necessary.
Shred cheddar while they're cooking.

Put tortillas in a glass pan. Fill with rice, meat, cheese, and sauce (1/2 can). Fold closed and cover with remaining sauce and cheese. The sauce and tortillas will be warm when the cheese is cooked.

Add sour cream, green chiles, green onions, cilantro, olives, lime etc. inside if that's what you're into.

Soup is underrated in this country. I guess it has a bad rap as a side dish but they can be the main course if hearty enough. The trick is to use beef and chicken broth, or stock if you think you're the super chef who needs nothing but primo ingredients. I go all the other way down the stairs to bullion cubes because they're cheap and we always have some on hand. Beef broth is the key to chili btw (and fine rolled corn chips if you like it thick). The rest is filler.

My mom made several soups as the main course for dinner. Clam Chowder, hamburger soup, potato cheese soup, ham and bean soup, chili...

Everything was homemade. Man I miss that cooking.

Chicken cordon bleu minus the bleu.

Stuffing it with fontina cheese is absolutely necessary. Fontina and good sauce and you can forget the proscuito if you want.

Red onion, thinly chopped
Flour
Chicken broth
White wine
Rosemary
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil, extra virgin

Heat oil, add onion and rosemary. Cook until onions are translucent. Add salt and pepper to taste and let cool. Stir in graded fontina.

Add sauce to middle of chicken breasts. Cook about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken, add wine and rosemary. Cook on medium-high 2 minutes. Reduce to low and whisk in broth and flour to thicken. Add chicken to coat and cook until chicken is done.

A quick, easy, bachelor recipe.

I large can enchilada sauce
1 package frozen burritos

Put the burritos in a 9 x 13 and cover with the sauce.
Cook in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.
Take out cover with cheese and put back in oven.
After cheese is melted remove.

I cover mine with black olives, lettuce and sour cream.

The only dirty dishes are your plate, fork and the 9 x 13.

Edit: I will put my Paella recipe on here after work.

Excellent idea. I live off frozen burritos at times, microwave style. Now I have to add a can of sauce into an old squeeze bottle and grate some cheese for standby operations.

That is the kind that I use. The bag of about 8-10 frozen burritos. I prefer the beef and bean but to each their own.

That sounds pretty good. I also like the frozen burritos or chimichangas with cream of mushroom soup, green chilis and cheese on top. I definitely want to try your method.

Ingredients needed : Sugar, Water, Koolaid

Tools needed: Spoon, Jug and ice cube tray

Dump koolaid powder into jug. Dump as much sugar as you want into a jug. Add as much water as you want into jug. Stir.

pour into icecube trays. set icecube tray in freezer.

mmmmmm good.

I throw in half the water, then add the powder quickly followed by the sugar. Add the rest of the water slowly while stirring. I love me some Kool-Aid.

I like my steaks on the rare side of medium-rare.

My wife likes her steak done, done, done .. and then sends it back to the kitchen twice more .. until it's literally the size of a playing card .. then asks for ketchup. NO hyperbole.

I no longer take her to a steak house .. ever.

Ha, this sounds almost exactly like my wife. She needs to make sure that they piece of meat is dead, and then she wants it grill for about another hour on high heat.

My wife is this way with fast-food burgers .. it's ridiculous. I'm like, 'why are you worried, it's not even really meat anyway ..?'

Going with the Kool-Aid idea, Kool-Aid Slushies

Get party ice from Sonic (the best kind of ice around)

Fill blender about 3/4 of the way with party ice (aka pebble ice)
Add Kool-Aid
Add a little more than a cup of sugar
Fill the blender about 1/4 of the way with water.
Mix
Slowly add more ice and water until blender if full and the slushy is the right consistency (this may be different for everyone. I like to enjoy my slushy with a spoon, so I make it thick)
Pour and enjoy.





I assume that for the alcoholics around here that you can add alcohol to this to get a little tipsy. I am not sure the amounts that you would need in order to make this work.
