Post a favorite easy recipe.
This is ridiculously simple and my husband and sons’ favorite for years:
Taco Soup
1 lb. Ground turkey
3 cans beans—kidney, pinto, black or garbanzo in combination
1 can corn
1 can Rotelle tomatoes
1 pkg dry Ranch Dressing mix
1 pkg dry taco seasoning.
You can mess with it and add onion and green pepper as you sauté the meat but we often don’t. Just sauté meat and throw the rest together and heat to let flavors blend. Eat with corn chips and, if you like, shredded cheese or sour cream.
It’s a great go-to.
Whaddaya got?

Hey, I'm a single guy - don't watch food channels - what can I say? 
Now, I didn't name this, so ...
Chinese Sundaes:
Make Cream of Chicken Soup (preferably with milk) and cook for a while so it thickens up some. Also toss in some cooked chicken chunks while it's cooking. Rotisserie is great but canned works pretty well too.
While it cooks, chop up fresh veggies ... celery, carrot, bell pepper, jicama or taro, and scallions are the basics. Apple is not bad in it, too.
Pour the soup over cooked white or brown rice, top with veggies, sliced almonds, and add a few sprinkles of soy sauce or amino's, and cayenne if you like spicy.
Doesn't sound like it be that good, but believe it not it's a pretty good one-pot dish in a pinch.
The recipe courtesy of the Mormons ... they make their own sauce from scratch but it takes like cream of chicken soup anyways, so 
Heaven help me. 
Enjoy. 
I don't even have to go to the store. Everything is in the pantry. So I don't have that as an excuse. 
Guess what I'm making this week? 
I really do appreciate your posting it. But I had to tease you. 
The strawberry are great, but they are yummy with whatever you want to use- choc chips, cinnamon, peaches, blueberries...
Oh, forgot to add: I don’t sift the dry ingredients, just toss ‘em well with a fork, and the muffins turn out just fine.
For a large family. You can half or fourth the recipe.
1 gallon vitamin D milk
1 stick margarine
4 cans PINK salmon cleaned and boned, do NOT drain.
Save the juice to add to the milk.
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in a large pot.
Heat but do NOT let boil.
The stew taste better when allowed to sit in the refrigerator over night.
The milk will pick up the flavor of the salmon.
It will stay fresh and delicious for 3 or 4 days.
Serve with saltine crackers and thick slices sharp cheddar cheese.
My brother likes to put his cheese in the bowl.
I like mine on the side.
If you like hot sauce it goes extremely well in the stew.
Each person can add the amount they want to their bowl.
My family has been using this recipe for 70 years.
Enjoy
Salmon Stew is not thick and has no vegetables.
It is as thin as milk.
There is no ingredient that thickens it.
It is not really a stew, but a soup.
Salmon soup sounds strange and the man that gave my
mother and father the recipe called it Salmon Stew.
I like these better. When they had baby teeth, my grandkids liked them because they are softer than pizza dough.
On DU, in topics, under home and family, there is a cooking and baking section that is really active. I've gotten a lot of good ideas there
ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, canned chopped tomatoes, chopped green chiles or other chiles, sliced small zucchinis (grated cheese, fresh cilantro)
quantities proprtional, as needed
brown meat and onion, add garlic and chiles. stir in canned tomatoes and zucchini. stir till hot and squash is just cooked.
serve over rice or use steamed corn tortillas to make soft tacos (or do both), garnish with salsa, cheese, and cilantro
recommended salsa for this and many other recipes:
I have the chops.
I have the stuffing, cornbread of course.
It is my favorite boxed stuffing.
I have peach and cherry pie filling.
No apple. Boo.
The nice thing about these recipes is that they can also be made in a slow cooker too.
1-can: Progresso Tomato Basil Soup.
1- Good shake of basil flakes, mixed in well.
1 or 2 tablespoons of Chunky Bleu Cheese salad dressing to taste, mixed well into soup.
1- Good shake of balsamic vinegar to taste.
Serve with whole-grain club crackers.
It's actually much better with real crumbled bleu cheese, but this is much faster.
Yummy on our cold Kentucky nights.........
Thanks for your great sounding Taco Soup recipe, Nolabear........
(*) Well, famous at least in my little world......
Well, it's pea soup, but it has other veggies in it, too.
In a soup pot, add a bag of dried peas, an onion cut up in chunks, a handful of peeled carrots, cut up stalk of celery or dried celery flakes. and whatever other veggies you have on hand (or not). I like to add a cut up potato for some heartiness. Add water to cover everything, plus some as the soup will thicken as it cooks. I add the seasonings, a tablespoon of salt (or more or less to taste), ground black pepper, about a teaspoon+ of dried basil (I use my hand to measure), 1/4 teaspoon each of marjoram and thyme. I usually add a heaping teaspoon of ham base ("Better than Bouillon" , but this is optional (or throw in a piece of bacon?)
Simmer until all veggies are soft, including peas, and then remove from heat and let cool - or else you will have a mess when you blend it.
Ladle into a blender or food processor (in batches, don't make it too full) and puree'. Pour into a large bowl or plastic containers. You may need to add water. I usually add water to my bowl or cup as I prepare it to eat, because I like a thinner consistency.
This may sound more complicated than it actually is. Since everything is getting puree'd you don't need to worry about chopping up the veggies very much, just throw them in the pot. This is really a healthy soup.
Let me know how it turns out if you make it. Enjoy!
Put a couple of tortillas on a microwavable plate. Drain a can of black beans, and pour on top, with some chopped fresh peppers, and a little salsa. Add plain yogurt on top, and any kind of cheese on top of that. Nuke for 3 minutes. Add whatever other ingredients you have on hand....chicken or shrimp work well, any kind of veges, raw or cooked.
