"Growing up in Boston, I never knew that this 50's "once-a-week-at-home dinner" and "once-a-week-at-school lunch" was a regional dish! I still make this probably once every 2 weeks. Easy, cheap and comfort food all rolled into one huge pot! (It is always called American Chop Suey here, but while I was living in LA friends called..."

"This is a simple, easy, inexpensive soup that kids and adults love! I usually add about 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), and 1 can of green beans. This really
adds to the veggie content, and overall heartiness of the soup. This is my husband's
favorite!!!!!"

Ingredients: small shell pasta, garlic...

"A Canadian Living hit with the Ontario ZAARians, at our Annual Appy-fest. While this recipe actually calls for mild Italian sausge I used Bajan-seasoning called Delish-Dish in a meatball stuffing. I doubt that many ZAARians have "Bajan Delish-Dish" in their pantry.To stay true to the original recipe, therefore, I shall post the recipe..."

"During my high school years, my mom made this quite often on Sunday for lunch after church...she'd get it mostly put together before we left, and then pop it in the oven as soon as we got back home."

Ingredients: cream of mushroom soup, French-fried onions...

"A really yummy way to make jumbo shells stuffed with cheese taste. It makes a large amount but could be cut in half. I think it is something you could be sure people would like and be really different. I found the basic on the back of the Barilla noodles box but fixed it up some as it would have seemed bland, so I made this and we love it."

Ingredients: instant minced onion, eggs...

"My husband's Great Grandma made this for him and his sibilings when they came to visit. Only five ingredients, simple and easy to make. Ground beef, corn, cream style corn, peas, and mac & cheese. A real kid pleaser and one of my husband's favorites. I couldn't find anything else like it on the Zaar."

Ingredients: Kraft macaroni and cheese, peas...

"Sausage & pepperoni added in gives this pasta dish a scrumptious change of pace. Fantastic for pot luck. Throw some shredded mozzarella cheese in, give it a stir and viòla! (Even better if you make it a day before you want to serve it, then just reheat in the oven.)"

Ingredients: ziti pasta, rotelle pasta...

"We love carne guisada around out house. This is a really easy recipe!
FYI: I always go to my local meat market and have them cut a good looking rump roast into stew meat. It saves me the time of having to cube the meat myself and that way i get to pick out the best cut of meat. Also, if you like spicy, leave the seeds in one or two of the jalapenos...."
