Are you one of those cooks who has a busy day followed by a busy evening yet you want to feed your family a home-cooked meal? If you need a good tasty meal in a hurry, try one of these quick and easy recipes to get you started. Steak Kebabs, Romanoff Meatballs, and Ground Beef Romanoff are great options. A quick steamed vegetable or store-bought salad can round out your meal. Want dessert? Serve ice cream with fruit or a cookie.
ROMANOFF MEATBALLS
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 package (5.5-oz) of Noodles Romanoff
1 1/2 cups milk
2 dozen frozen meatballs
2 tsp parsley flakes
2 tbsp butter
In a large skillet, melt the first two tablespoons of butter. Remove skillet from the heat and blend in the flour and sauce mix from the Noodles Romanoff package. A whisk works well for this. Gradually stir in the milk and heat to boiling while stirring constantly. Boil, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the meatballs and heat back to boiling. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. While the meatballs cook, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Stir the parsley flakes and butter into the noodles.
To serve, place the noodles on plate and top with the meatballs and sauce.
STEAK KABOBS
This steak needs to marinate overnight or all day. But it is quick to fix at meal time and the prep to marinate is also minimal.
2 lb lean sirloin, cut into cubes 1 1/2-inches
3/4 cup Italian salad dressing
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
16 large mushrooms
16 cherry tomatoes
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
Trim steak; place in a shallow baking dish.
Combine Italian dressing, soy sauce, and garlic powder, stirring well. Pour over the steak; cover and refrigerate for several hours (overnight or all day) in the refrigerator.
Preheat broiler or prepare grill.
Remove meat from marinade, saving the marinade. Alternate the steak cubes,mushrooms, tomatoes, and bell pepper on skewers. Brush with the marinade and broil 4-inches from heat 5 minutes on each side, brushing a couple of times with the marinade. (Or you can grill the kabobs.)
GROUND BEEF ROMANOFF
1 lb lean ground beef
1 pkg (5.5-oz) Noodles Romanoff
1 can (10 1/2-oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tbsp instant minced onion
2 tbsp chopped pimento
In a nonstick skillet brown the ground beef until cooked through, stirring to break up; drain off excess fat. Prepare the Noodles Romanoff according to the package directions, increasing the milk to 1 cup. Stir in the ground beef, undiluted mushroom soup, minced onion, and pimento. Heat the mixture to boiling; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Yield: 4 servings
Enjoy!
