Dinner in a Quickie

So the other day I was pressed for time and needed to get some dinner made (in between feeding chickens, helping hubs with chores, doing laundry, etc, etc, and maintaining some kind of sanity) and came up with this easy meal--that was super delicious (as in the hubs ate 2/3 of the pan). 

Here's what you need:

1 box of hamburger helper Italian something
1 pound of hamburger or sausage (not cooked)
1 jar of spaghetti/pizza sauce
any other thing you want to throw in, I added:
shredded carrots
olives
basil
oregano
garlic
olive juice
shredded cheese

So put all the ingredients in a 9x13 pan (except cheese), cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or so.  Halfway through, pull out and mush the meat up.

When its about 5 minutes to done, sprinkle with cheese and broil--who doesn't love cheese when it gets all bubbly and gooey?  And that's it.  The hubs had 3 healthy portions of it, and ate the rest the next day. 

Cheers!

  1. Sounds delicious. Besides writing children's books are you going to write cook books?
