I'm in.

We love taco soup - it's easy to make & uses up lots of leftovers...

I basically take leftover chicken & chop / shred it or leftover ground beef & put in a pot. I add some chopped onion & a packet of taco seasoning & 1/2 pack ranch dressing mix if I have it. To this I add corn, beans (usually black or pinto beans who hate rinsed) - I open a new can if needed but often have leftovers I can use. One can rotel tomatoes (or alternately use some diced tomatoes & a small can green chiles or 1/4 c salsa)& a can chicken broth. sometimes I'll add rice if I have any leftover. Let simmer & add a cup of water if too thick. Serve with crunched up Doritos or taco shells & various accompaniments - shredded cheese, sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, black olives... Whatever I have in the fridge...serves 2 adults & 2 kids

Tried and true plus budget! This is from a cookbook that you buy by the check out at the grocery from when I first got married.

Pasta skillet dinner

2 cups uncooked Ziti
1 lb. Ground beef/turkey
1 14oz jar tomato pasta sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar

Cook pasta and keep warm
Cook ground beef
stir in the rest until warmed through and cheese is melted.

Very easy to double!

I make something fairly similar but I add a little half & half to the saucy mix give it a little richness/sweetness! And yes it easily doubles!
