Does anyone have any quick fix meal recipes or dessert recipes ?

Just lookin for diffrent quick and simple recipes for both dinner and a dessert. Please provide recipes.Does anyone have any quick fix meal recipes or dessert recipes ?
QUICK PAN NACHOS





1 large can refried beans


1 lb hamburger


1 package taco seasoning


3-4 cups grated cheddar cheese


1 medium can sliced olives


1 large or 2 med chopped tomatoes


1 bunch green onions chopped


sour cream


guacamole


salsa





Brown hamburger and add taco seasoning as package instructs. While hamburger simmers, spread the refried beans into the bottom of the baking dish and place in the oven under the broiler until beans are hot all the way through.


Top beans with hamburger mixture and then spread cheese evenly over the top.





Place back under the broiler until cheese is melted. Top with green onions, tomatoes and olives.





Cut into wedges and spoon onto a plate, top with sour cream, guacamole and salsa then surround with corn chips.








QUICK HOMEMADE FUDGE





1 12-16 oz. bag cream drop candy


1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or regular)





Microwave cream drops for 2-3 mins until they soften and you can mix them well. Add the one cup peanut butter.


Pour into a buttered dish. If you want nuts in the fudge, use crunchy peanut butter.








QUICK TEX-MEX GOULASH





1/2 lb. elbow macaroni


1 lb ground sirloin


1 small onion, finely diced


2 c. tomato juice


1 pkg McCormick's Taco Seasoning


1 can black beans, drained and rinsed


1 can sweet corn, drained


2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese


sour cream


sliced black olives


chopped green onions





Prepare the macaroni according to the package instructions.


(Note: Do not rinse the noodles. The starch left on them helps bind the goulash so it doesn't get too runny.)





Saute the sirloin and onion in a skillet until the meat is brown and the onions become translucent.





Drain the fat off. Add tomato juice and the taco seasoning to the meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 min.





In a large pot, combine the noodles, meat mixture, corn, beans, and shredded cheese. Allow this to simmer for about 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. You may need to add up to a cup more of the tomato juice if it's too dry.





To serve: place a helping of goulash on a plate then garnish with sour cream, black olives, and green onions. It's nice to set the garnishes on the table as when serving tacos. Don't be afraid to use whatever garnishes you'd use on a taco. Some like green peppers, jalepenos, salsa, fresh diced tomatoes, crushed torilla chips, cheddar cheese. Get creative!








QUICK AND EASY CHOCOLATE DESSERT





1 box chocolate cake mix


2 4oz boxes chocolate instant pudding


1 can cherry pie filling


2 sm. tubs coolwhip





Prepare cake mix according to directions on box in a 13x9 pan. Let cake completely cool. (Best if made night before.) Prepare pudding and chill until set.


Cut cake into 2x2 squares. In large dessert bowl, starting with cake squares, layer cake...pudding...cherry pie filling...whipped cream and repeat.





ENJOY!!! Can also use different variations. (ex...white cake, vanilla pudding, fresh blueberries and strawberries~ good for the 4th of July!!)Does anyone have any quick fix meal recipes or dessert recipes ?
A quick and easy meal idea is ';Dinner in Foil.';





For each serving, place one of the following on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil:





Boneless chicken breast; boneless pork chop; hamburger patty; salmon steak





Season meat with one of the following: barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, Montreal steak seasoning, or soy sauce. Season the salmon with either dill butter, lemon butter, or a splash of lime juice.





Place any or all of the following vegetables around the meat or fish: a peeled and quartered potato; a peeled and sliced carrot; a few pieces of brocolli or cauliflower; some whole mushrooms; a few slivers of red onion; some strips of red or green pepper.





Season the veggies with salt and pepper, and dot with butter. Fold up the sides of the foil to form a tight packet, and bake at 350 degrees until the meat is done and the veggies are tender. This can take anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes, on average.





While the packets are baking, put together an ';Easy Fruit Trifle'; for dessert:





Place a layer of angel food cake or pound cake cubes in your prettiest glass bowl. Add a layer of your favorite fruit: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced nectarines, sliced peaches, or blackberries are all good choices. Top with a layer of Cool Whip.





Repeat until the bowl is full, ending with a layer of Cool Whip. If desired, garnish with a few reserved berries and a sprig or two of mint. Chill until ready to serve.





**************************





Serve the ';Dinner in Foil'; packets with breadsticks and a green salad. You can vary the menu according to your taste, the possibilities are endless, and clean up is a snap!

It has recipes for quite a few tasty cakes and desserts that can be prepared easily from home ..
Easiest desert I know that looks like you worked hard, LOL, would be to line the bottom of a 8 x 8 dish with vanilla wafers. Slice up 4 bananas. Mix up 2 boxes of instant banana pudding mix, shorting the milk by 1C. Fold in 1C sour cream when pudding has begun to thicken. Fold in banana slices. Pour it all on top of the wafers and refrigerate for an hour or two. Serve chilled, with or without whipped topping. If you use the fat free/sugar free pudding, skim milk, fat free sour cream and lo-fat wafers this is also a good desert for calorie watchers.
