stovetop dinner ideas??
 

Our stove is on the fritz except for the burners.
We are getting a new one delivered later this week.....in the meantime, I have been making soup. Any other good choices I have for dinner?

Any suggestions would be appreciated?

I don't have a recipe for it but I sometimes cook some pasta and toss cut up broccoli into the same pot when cooking. Then I drain the pot, toss in a can of tuna (packed in water and drained) and 1 can Campbells 1/2 fat Cream of mushroom soup. Stir the whole thing up and mix with a bit of low fat milk until you get your desired consistency- not too soupy, just enough to coat everything. Then heat through.

Top with a bit of salt and fresh ground pepper, or parmesan cheese. It's basically a tuna casserole done on the stove :)


Chili, sloppy joes, and stews are good choices too, and can be done on the stove top or in a crock pot.

Check out the recipe boards on this forum - there are lot's of great ideas posted there.

Thanks! I tried the broccoli beef stir fry........so yummy!
My hubby loved it too and he is not on WW!

Do you have a slow cooker?
I make roast with just a can of beef broth, meat and lots of whatever veggies, potatoes, carrots, onion, etc.

same with chicken, use chicken broth instead of gravies or cream sauces.
I used a vegetable broth with porketta.

you can also make chili in it.

those reciepe sound good kelly :wave: :) glen
