I seen someone asking for a recipe for this so here is one I found! Looks amazing
Salisbury Steak and Gravy

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
⅓ cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder – optional, use if not doing onion in gravy
Gravy
1 onion – small
1 teaspoon oil
2 cups beef broth
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ketchup
½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

If you want caramelized onions in your gravy, start by thin slicing a small onion. Cook with 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until nicely brown. About 7-8 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
Mix 1 pound ground beef with ⅓ cup bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons ketchup,1 teaspoon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. If not doing the onions, then add ½ teaspoon onion powder.
Divide one pound of hamburger mixture into 3-4 equal portions. A quarter-size indent in the middle will help prevent puffing up of the patties and make cooking evener.
Place steak patties in a large frying pan with a teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Flip about every 5-6 minutes until an internal temperature of about 165°. About 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness, the pan, and your burners.
Whisk 4 tablespoons flour with 1 cup beef broth. Remove the Salisbury steak to a plate and lightly tent.
Pour out most of the liquid, leaving about 3-4 tablespoons of liquid. Allow the pan to cool some. Add 1 cup beef broth and bring to a light boil over medium heat.
Slowly add the flour-broth mixture while continuing to whisk. Add 1 teaspoon ketchup and ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Add salt to taste.
Whisk until nicely thickened, a few minutes. If using, add caramelized onions to the gravy and mix well.
Add steak back into the mixture, simmer a few minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes or as you wish.

Not the best looking meal but so yummy and pretty cheap! I take 2 Knorr sides-chicken flavor, 1 pound of ground beef, about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a can of corn. I cook the noodles, cook the ground beef and season it to my liking, then I add the cooked ground beef to the noodles. I drain the corn and add it. Then I melt in the shredded cheese. So yummy!

Super simple and cheap one pot meal + ready in 15 minutes!

Smoked sausage (only used half)
Broccoli
Knorr cheesy cheddar pasta side
Shredded cheese

All I did was brown sausage in a pan then set aside. In the same pan I cooked pasta as directed but added the broccoli and noodles when liquid boiled. Added the sausage back into the pan when done. Topped with extra shredded cheese and mixed together!

Cheap, easy and delicious. Green beans and potatoes with polish sausage cooked with chicken broth. One of my favorite comfort foods. Boil diced potatoes with green beans (canned, frozen or fresh) in chicken broth, i add the polish sausage when the potatoes are about half way done. When potatoes are done serve it up.
Enjoy ❤

Another dinner I made! Chicken hibachi 😋

Used frozen peas and carrots and cooked them in a pan with butter and oil, added onion into it. Cooked those until soft then moved them to the side and added 2 scramble eggs. Once the eggs cooked mixed all together then removed everything and put it in a tin foil pan. I used pre cooked rice, cooked it in a pan with avocado oil and some butter (pre cooked is easier) for the veggies I used red bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli and onion. Just cooked those on the stove with avocado oil/butter and seasoned them cooked until soft. Used chicken breast and cooked those on the stove with avocado oil, butter, sesame oil and some soy sauce! Added seasoning as needed/wanted to all of it

It all turned out super yummy and makes a lot of extra for left overs! 😊
