1/2-3/4 Shredded Parmesan Cheese
foil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Place frozen breaded Chicken Tenders in a skillet sprayed with non stick spray over medium heat...watch carefully and turn 2 or 3 times.  Put in rectangle casserole dish and pour spaghetti sauce over chicken, cover with the cheeses then cover with aluminum foil and put in oven for 30-35 minutes.  Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes.  While the dish is baking put water on to boil (about 6 cups with tablespoon of olive oil and tsp salt added).  When water begins to boil...Add dry spaghetti (I break it in 2 as I put in the water).  Turn burner down to medium and cook until spaghetti is as tender as you prefer.  Serve the Parmesan Chicken over a generous portion of spaghetti and a slice of garlic toast.

Put package of ribs in crock pot adding some salt and pepper and cook on high for an hour.  Turn down to low and cook for a couple of hours.  Add can of kraut and continue to cook on low for another hour.  Told you it was easy.  We fix mashed potatoes and black eyed peas to serve with this dish.  Good Southern Cooking at it's best!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 cup water
6 green bell peppers
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
  3. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
  4. In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
  5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender

One of the most sought after recipes on my site is the Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Foil Packets.  More than half a million people (I promise it's true) have been there and many have shared their success in making it.  Hobos in a Foil Packet is a recipe that  I have made for my growing family for years.  It is an excellent meal for camping trips or just those "in a hurry" nights.  You can use ground beef or ground turkey and the clean up is a breeze.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
4 small to medium potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion sliced
salt
pepper
Aluminum Foil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Tear off 4 pieces of foil and spray with Canola Oil Spray.  Evenly divide the pound of ground beef or turkey and flatten into a patty on each sheet of foil.  Add Salt and pepper to taste.  Add slices of onion divided as shown in the picture below. Lightly salt and pepper.
Next add peeled and thinly sliced potato (one per packet) - salt and pepper to taste.  Then final layer is the carrot that has been peeled and thinly sliced (one carrot or more per each packet.)  Again salt and pepper to taste.  Roll up the foil around the meat and vegetables to seal and place on a cookie sheet. Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.  Take out of oven and Puncture the top of the foil to let out the steam on each packet.
