Hey, Mom....What's for supper?? [The Recipe Thread]

[Mara_Brightwing]

It's almost time for me to get started on making supper, and as usual, I'm almost clueless about what to make. (When you have to make supper every night, creativity doesn't always come.) Hmm. I think I'll make one of my easy-peasies, Hamburger Potato Stew....

1 lb ground beef
1 chopped white onion (yellow or spanish will work too, I just prefer white)
8-10 medium potatoes
2-3 Tbs beef boullion granules OR 2-3 cubes of beef boullion
3 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste

Brown the beef and onions until no pink is left in the meat; drain fat. Peel, wash and cube the potatoes; add to meat mixture and add water to cover the potatoes. Stir in the beef boullion granules (or dissolve the cubes in a few tablespoons of hot water, then add), then put the bay leaves in whole. Allow to cook until the potatoes are soft. Remove bay leaves before serving.

I like to serve this with a salad and rolls.

Any other recipes? What are you having for supper?

I'm probably going out to dinner tonight. A really easy one I know is enchilada casserole, but I don't have the recipe with me: they got deleted from the computer. xp

I'm bad... I eat out a lot. the rest of the time I have what I can scrounge. college students aren't known for eating well anyways... right?
edit: since it's a recipe sticky now.. I'll put a recipe in here. just gotta find one I like.
for easy meals I like to make boxed pasta mixes and put fresh broccoli in.
tuna melts are easy, just cheese, tuna and bread.
I seem to have lost most of my real recipes. ninja sweatdrop shows how much I use them.

i like to make bolognese (italian meat sauce):

1lb ground beef
1 medium, chopped red onion
2, 14.5 oz cans of chopped tomatoes, seasoned with basil, garlic, & oregano
plenty of extra virgin olive oil (must be extra virgin because it tastes better)
a dash of worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine

you can add other things like powdered or chopped garlic and more seasonings, but listed above are the basic ingredients.

put onion in 2qt sauce pot with olive oil and let cook over medium heat until almost transparent. add meat to pot with onion and cook, stirring, until completely brown (NO PINK). add tomatoes, wine, and worchestershire to the pot with beef and onion. give a good stir for a minute, bring it to a boil for another couple of minutes, then turn down heat to let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

serve over cooked pasta (my preference being either linguini or spaghettini).

Another easy recipe is a spinach quiche:
6 eggs
1.5cups heavy cream
filling:
any veggies or meats (mushrooms, spinach, and cold cut ham work well)
swiss cheese or cheddar, shredded
1 pre-made 9inch pie crust

pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
i just kind of eye ball all the filling, as long as it all fits in the pie dish already fitted with the uncooked pie crust. mix eggs and cream together, add salt and pepper. pour over filling veggies and meats in pie dish. bake for 45 minutes.

Here's one of my signature dishes: Tortellini w/ Mushroom Sauce

NOTE: This recipie is very linear; so I won't post amounts needed. Just use however much you think you need.

Frozen Cheese Tortellini
Mushrooms; sliced (the recipie calls for shittake, but you can use whatever)
Parmesan Cheese (storebought or fresh grated)
Butter
Olive Oil
Parsley; minced
Scallions; finely chopped (Green Onions)
Salt n' Pepper
Garlic; minced
*Optional ingredients: Red Onion, Red Peppers, Goat Cheese, Asparagus

1) Start boiling the water for the pasta. Make sure the water is adiquately(hope I spelled that right) salted. While this is happening, heat up the olive oil, garlic and butter in a large skillet.

NOTE: If your water has started to boil before you need it to, remove it from the heat, and return it when you need it. Make sure you read the instructions on the tortellini package, so you can cook them for the right amount of time and have them ready when you need them.

2) Start cooking down your mushrooms in the skillet for about 5 minutes, depending on how many mushrooms you used. After that, take about a cup of the pasta water and add it to the mushrooms. At this point, add the parsley, scallions, salt and pepper, plus whatever else you wanted to add (except the cheese). Let this cook down some more (I'd say roughly 8 minutes) so it becomes a nice sauce. At this point, your pasta should be finished cooking, so drain it.

3) My preffered method for this part is to dump the sauce into the pot, then add the pasta back into the pot. Then add the cheese, and toss it all together.

Sorry if this recipie seems poorly written; I'm no good at this. sweatdrop But it's really good; I swears! O_O
