Lazy Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients

* 1/2 medium cabbage, shredded
* 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
* 2 onions chopped fine
* 2 tins tomato soup

* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp pepper

New England Dinner

Ingredients:
1 medium head cabbage, chopped
16 ounces kielbasa, diced
6 potatoes, chopped
1 cup water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage, kielbasa, potatoes and water. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.


Hotdogs with a Twist

Ingredients:

* 8 hotdogs
* Instant mashed potatoes
* American Cheese (4 slices)

Preparation:
Make the mashed potatoes as directed on the box. Make it for the family of 4. Split the hotdogs down the center but not totally through; just so that they have enough room to stuff them. Take the mashed potatoes and put them in the slit you made covering the dog. Top with half a slice of cheese and bake at 350 until cheese melts; about 10 minutes!

Throw some veggies and another side item like pork and beans and dinner is done! This is the fast way to get out of the kitchen. Plus talk about frugal!
