No, not that cheating. I'm talking about when you don't want, (or have the time), to cook from scratch. This could be a main dish or a side dish. It could even be a desert. I'm talking about when you buy something that you cook from a box or package. It could be as simple as adding ground beef to a jar of Prego to adding a bunch of spices to a box of ?? Please name names if you can.
I'll start with something my dad used to make that I still make occasionally:
He used a package of Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice, (or black beans) and Jimmy Dean's Hot Breakfast Sausage, (in a tube). He would brown 1/3 of a tube in a saucepan the correct size for making the rb&r and then add the Zatarian's and cook according to the package directions. That was always a family favorite and has been both a family favorite, and a party favorite for me.
