january 24, 2011 - sunday dinner stack

i'm really not sure what this is called, so i made something up.  nathan's mom made it for us when we were living with them, while trying to find a house to buy.  it is very quick (like 10 minutes) and super easy.  and the kids and hubby love it.

start out with a package of the frozen texas toast with garlic and cheese on top, i had this brand, but any brand will do.   cook according to package directions. next microwave a hormel refridgerated entree - i used the beef roast with au jus.  then whip up some mashed potatoes.  i heated the beef and made the potatoes while the texas toast was in the oven.  once everything is prepared, top a slice of the texas toast with mashed potatoes and then beef.  pour some au jus over the top.  i warmed some frozen veggies for our side dish.

the great thing about this meal is that all of the ingredients were purchased while on sale and with a coupon so it was super inexpensive as well.  the hormel entrees can be pricey, but if you watch for a sale and then pair it with a coupon you can stock up.  i freeze them and pull them out when i need something quick.

because this dinner took almost no time at all, after dinner, i made another batch of wisconsin cauliflower soup.  I wanted to let it sit for a couple of days and let the flavors blend together.
