Here are a few recipes...
SATURDAY NIGHT SUPPER:
1lb ground turkey (I use beef or chopped chicken)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 can Italian style tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups cooked small pasta shells or elbow macaroni
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Heat oven to 400 degrees
Cook your meat in a frying pan until cooked through
Spread the meat in a casserole dish, stir in veggies, tomato sauce, seasoning, and pasta. Cover and bake 30 min or until veggies are tender, sprinkle with cheese.


QUICK FRENCH ONION BISCUITS
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/4 cup milk
1 container French onion dip

Heat oven to 450
Mix all ingredients until a soft dough forms. Drop dough into 6 mounds on ungreased cookie sheet
Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
