[quote=Anonymous]I posted this on another thread a while ago. Look up in teen forum and search, lots of ideas there.

Aldi op, and Costco for the cost. Here are some of my favorite recipes for large meals.
I used to house several teen athletes for weeks on end.

Ribs are so easy. Put on two racks in the oven. 45 minutes before they are done, add potatoes and carrots —a lot of potatoes and carrots. They are delicious from the meat drippings. You put all the seasoned potatoes around. It is so delicious. Other than peeling and some prep, it is not hard work.

Risotto, make so much of it, then add chicken pieces on top. You boil the chicken pieces for the broth, use it to make soup with noodles as a starter, and then make risotto from the same broth. Brown chicken pieces up a bit in the oven.

Potatoes with sausages, bacon, and ground beef were always a hit. It is like a breakfast potato skillet but without eggs. Dh hates eggs... I used to make these for my DD's cheer team. Everyone loved it. Other moms started making it for these group breakfasts.

One of the meals everyone loves is sliced potatoes lined up with bacon, potatoes, bacon, potatoes, bacon, in the oven with some spices. 45-60 minutes later, it's a super delicious meal. Of course, I don't eat this too much, not on a regular basis.

I make my own pasta Bolognese. I cook ground beef for a couple of hours with an onion and carrot base, add passata, cook, and cook. I boil the pasta, and everyone loves it! My 18-month-old niece just ate two bowls (toddler bowls) of it; I kid you not.

Then, easy Dutch oven beef recipes, like Swiss Bliss, but I make a heartier variation. Brown beef pieces, then sauté onions and garlic, and carrots, add any kind of tomatoes you like, wine if you have it. Add water, and put in the oven for three hours. You can use London Broil, skirt steak, or cheaper cuts of beef for it. The spices I use are seasoned salt, paprika, a touch of turmeric, salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of chili seasoning; I might add a few dried spur chilies to it, too. An hour before it is done, I add a whole large bag of peas to it. Mushrooms can go in too. Make mashed or just add peeled potatoes to it, too, if you have a Dutch oven large enough.
Do the same with chicken, like chicken cacciatore, just in the Dutch oven. Avoid all that stove top cooking for cleaning purposes.

Do roasted chicken and put two in, using the same recipe as with ribs. Sometimes, I would buy turkey wings, drumsticks, and tights and do the same in the oven.
I simplified the recipes to make them oven friendly.

I even used to buy breaded fish from Costco and make the whole pack in the oven. Even with all this, it is not cheap but even less cheap today with all the crazy prices.

I hope this helps. I think everyone can tell I love food, right? I love to cook too!
