it's friday and you're going to want this.

it's friday.

does anyone besides me get overwhelmed with all the meal prep

a weekend holds?

my kids seriously want 3 meals a day

{can you believe it?}

sometimes that really baffles me.

----------------------------------------------

my kids get a lot of breakfasts of cereal, oatmeal, and bagels

(yawn)

and a lot of lunches of ham/cheese or pbj sandwiches

(bor.ing)

but when it comes to dinners i try to add a little creativity to the mix

you know,

so my kids don't decide to live at school for the glory of hot lunch options.

(holla)

my new years resolution is

less McDonalds in the name of failed meal prep

{so far so good}

to celebrate this 27th day of the year

and a new years resolution still going strong

i'd like to gift to you a james fam fav of a dinner......

needed:

1 lb ground beef, browned

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 tsp chili powder

dash of salt & pepper & garlic powder

8 oz can tomato sauce

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

2 cans jumbo bisquits (i used great value)

8 slices American cheese

once you brown your meat, let it cool slightly***i need to insert here that i always have already browned meat frozen and on hand.

it's because i'm not a fan of the stuff

and browning and freezing it as soon as i buy it

takes away some a little of the dislike. 

{and it's super handy for a quick meal prep}

okay.  moving on....

mix all ingredients together EXCEPT cheese slices

flatten one can of your bisquits on a cookie sheet

scoop 1/4 c mixture onto each one

lay a piece of American cheese on top

flatten other bisquits (on a table top or counter) and then gently place on top

seal the edges together like a pie crust, bringing the bottom bisquit up to meet the top

bake @ 400 for 10-15 minutes until golden brown

(reheats pretty well wrapped in foil in 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes)

easy.

portable for an on-the-go kinda night

(are we the only fam that seems to have a lot of those these days?!)

happy meal planning and making.

it's not my fav thing

but what's a girl to do?!

my fam likes to eat

and so do i

have a super day!
