Do you ever come home from a busy day and wonder “What am I going to cook for dinner”?
Do you ever come home from a busy day and wonder “What am I going to cook for dinner”? Sometimes we just don’t remember to plan ahead. Well I have a tip for you!
The next time you are cooking ground beef for a recipe, double the amount of meat you cook. Most recipes call for one to one and a half pounds of meat. Next time cook 2 to 3 pounds. After cooking, drain the meat, use half the portion for your recipe and freeze the other half.
Keep your pantry stocked with tomatoes, chili beans, canned Veg-all, spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce. Then when dinnertime finds you unprepared, grab your frozen ground beef and throw together chili, soup, spaghetti or sloppy joes. Saves time on clean-up too!

Did you know “queso” is cheese in Spanish?
Did you know “queso” is cheese in Spanish? And “quesadilla” is basically the Mexican version of a grilled cheese sandwich toasted to perfection. A basic quesadilla is made up of a flour tortilla and cheese, folded over and then browned or grilled on both sides before cutting into wedges and serving. But, with some creativity you can add practically anything, it’s really just a matter of taste!

Cheesy Broccoli
For a number of years now I have cooked frozen broccoli with Gordo’s Cheese Dips. It started when my kids were small and they did not like the taste of broccoli so I started with Gordo’s original or Plain flavor and of course kids Love Cheese! Then I moved them up to the Mild Jalapeno Flavor whioch added a zing to the taste of frozen broccoli and now as teens they like the Hot Jalapeno and Chipotle flavors.
Cook the broccoli first in the microwave and then dispose of the added water that accumulates from cooking. Then add your favorite Gordo’s Flavors and heat it up for another minute and you have a great vegetable offering that everyone will love!
