Sometimes getting dinner on the table seems like a daunting task, but with a little preplanning, it can be quick and easy and even save you money. These quick and easy dinner recipes make getting dinner on the table faster than ordering take-out!

This first recipe is great for the Mexican food lover. The soup and sour cream combine with the taco sauce and chilies to create a creamy but flavor filled sauce. The chips add a simple but nice contrast. You can control the spiciness of this dish by using either a hot or mild taco sauce.

Chicken n’ Chips

1 can cream of chicken soup
8 ounces sour cream
2 tablespoons taco sauce
1/4 cup chopped green chilies
3 cups cubed chicken
12 slices American cheese slices
4 cups broken tortilla chips

Stir together the soup, sour cream, taco sauce and chopped chilies.

In a shallow 2 qt baking dish layer 1/2 of the chicken, soup mixture, cheese and tortilla chips. Repeat Layers.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.

Serve the Chicken n’ Chips with Spanish rice, refried beans and a fresh, crisp salad.

The second recipe is an easy spin on the traditional comfort food of Beef Stroganoff. The aroma of the garlic cooking is fabulous. The flavors meld together very nicely.

Quick and Easy Beef Stroganoff

1 pound beef round steaks – cubed
1 onion chopped
1 4-ounce can mushrooms do not drain
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 teaspoons beef bouillon
3 cups water
4 cups medium egg noodles
1 cup sour cream

Spray a large pot with cooking spray. Cook beef, onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until meat is cooked through.

Add water, beef bouillon, egg noodles and sour cream to the meat mixture. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, turn heat down to low (do not cover). Cook on low for 5-7 minutes until pasta is desired doneness, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Let sit 4-5 minutes before serving. Sauce will thicken as it stands.

To round out this meal, serve with fresh rolls that are warmed in the oven and canned or frozen peas.

This third recipe is a stick to your ribs kind of meal. The stuffing gives this recipe a nice change of pace from your tradition meat and potatoes type dinner. This recipe is also very budget friendly.

Hearty Hamburger Casserole

1 pound ground beef
1 19-ounce can chunky vegetable soup
1 6-ounce package instant stuffing mix
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Brown beef in a large skillet until no longer pink. Drain any fat and stir in soup. Set aside.

Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions while beef is cooking.

Spray a 2 qt baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon half of the stuffing into baking dish. Layer with beef mixture, cheese and remaining stuffing.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.

This is pretty close to a one-dish meal, but to make it complete, serve with fresh, warmed rolls and a side salad.

These quick and easy dinner recipes should provide some variety to your dinner repertoire and at the same time get dinner on the table fast!

on a diet and a diabetic, looking for some new recipes to try out, low sugar, low carb, etc. but that taste good and not gross. with not to many vegtables in them. and not any weird stuff. anything, appitizers, main dish, side dish, desserts?

There are so many things you can do with sugar free jello, here are a few great ideas!

Light and Easy Creamy Dessert
1 package sugar-free jello (any flavor, four serving size box)
1 cup boiling water
6 ice cubes
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
–Mix boiling water and gelatin dessert until gelatin is disolved completely. Add ice cubes, stir until ice is melted.
Whisk in yogurt until smooth. Refrigerate until set.

Cool N’ Easy Pie
1 (1/3 ounce) box sugar-free jello (4 serving size -any flavor)
1 (8 ounce) container thawed Cool Whip Free
1 reduced fat graham cracker crust (Keebler makes one)
water
ice cubes
–Boil 2/3 c water.
In mixing bowl, mix boiling water and Jello for about 2 minutes until dissolved. In a measuring cup, combine ice cubes and water to measure 1 cup. Stir into Jello mixture til ice is melted. Add Cool Whip and whisk until smooth. Put mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow mixture to thicken. Spoon filling into crust. Refrigerate overnight.

Poached Salmon
1 salmon fillet
1 lemon, sliced
4-5 sprigs fresh dill
6-8 slices pickled ginger (optional)
1 cup white wine
–Place lemon slices, dill and ginger in a foil pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Place salmon on top. Add wine and then fill pan with water until the fish is completely covered. Cover with foil and poke knife holes all over the foil to allow steam to escape. Put in oven at 350 for approximately 25 minutes (cooking time depends on thickness of filet- if the fish flakes easily with a fork, then it’s ready).

I have been on a diet and lost 35lbs so far, I am SO TIRED of eating the same ole thing.. I want some new and EASY recipes that are low fat and low sugar would be nice (if not thats ok, I will use splenda). Like these I can share with you…Cake: one cake mix (use dry powder only) mix in a can of diet soda, bake and eat!!! its that easy (dark soda for dark cake, clear soda for white cake) or use ground turkey instead of hamburger in tacos with fat free sour cream and wheat shells. Or chicken breast and veggies(fresh or frozen) in a baking foil bag, bake, open bag, eat *be sure to add a pototo cut in half, then you can use fat free squirt butter and sour cream for a great baked pototo. You get the point…. enjoy these and send me some new ones PLEASE!!!!!

i know a great bannana recipe my mom loves it’s called frozen bannana yogurt. first you get a plate any kind i use paper plates then get a little bowl pour some yogurt in the bowl and you can stir it if you want. then get a bannana and cut it into slices on the plate and take a spoon, toothpick, ect. i use a toothpick and drop a bannana slice in the bowl and stir it around for about 10 sec. and then pick it up and put it on the plate do this with all the slices put it in the freezer for 24 hours or what ever time you make it just let it sit over night then in the morning at what ever time you want take them out and eat them. also if you have left over yogurt in the bowl what i do is i drizzel it over the bannana slices so it’s easier to clean then in the morning the yogurt frezzes toughter so i break it off and thats it it’s so easy i can do it and i’m a little kid only 10
