Recipe - Skillet Cooking

I used to call a recipe like this a casserole because I'd add pasta, but since I changed the way we eat we'll go with a skillet dish!

It's a pretty fancy recipe....

1. Fry up a couple kinds of meat. I used 2 pounds of hamburger and 2 German sausage links.
2. When the meat was cooked I used my blender to puree some diced tomatoes and 3 garlic cloves.
3. Add some seasonings. If my husband would have cooked this it would have had a lot more flavor! I added salt and pepper.
4. Add some veggies. I added frozen broccoli and cauliflower. I should have thawed them out first, but I'll know to do that next time.

That's it! My son ate this for dinner, breakfast and lunch - I think he liked it!

Previously, in order to make this frugal, I would have made a cream sauce without much meat and a whole lot of pasta. That's the frugal, but bad for me, way to make it.

Note to self, try a cream sauce with some butter and whipping cream in addition to everything else. Yes, I talk to myself often and some times I even answer.
