Cheap and easy meals after church

Seems like a job for the Crock Pot. Put it going when you wake up.

I had this hash brown taco casserole going today while knocking out my Monday morning calls, and it was ready for lunchtime.

Cook a big jambalaya, spaghetti, whatever… and reheat.

Yea this was my first thought. And will be much easier with football season coming up and I do that most Saturdays anyway.

Of course you can do this in a slow cooker, but I had an aunt that would make, "Church Chicken" frequently.

Basically she would arrange as many leg quarters as she could in a huge baking pan, dust them with chili powder, pour over a bottle of plain Kraft bbq sauce, and a small bottle of Worcester sauce. Cover in foil, put the oven on 250F and go to Sunday school. By the time the morning service was over and she got home at 12:30, she had oven bbq chicken with enough of a "gravy" to spoon over her instant mashed potatoes. The chicken was tender and the potatoes and gravy I would scoop up with a brown and serve roll.

Very basic, but probably $10-12 bucks all in if you shop wisely.

Less than 20 mins from fridge to meal:

Ground beef and a packet of taco seasoning
Ground beef and a jar of tomato sauce
Ground beef and hamburger helper
Ground beef and sloppy Joe mix
Ground pork and can of bbq beans


Crock pot ideas you can start the night before or morning of:

Red beans
Pulled pork
Chuck roast
Al pastor pork
Fajita chicken
Buffalo chicken
Etc…..

The donut place at the old Hancock-Whitney Bank building on Sherwood Forest Blvd. Very nice (and spacious) seating and pleasant music. They also sell pretty decent burgers and a few other things.

I have a rotation of about five crock pot
meals I save for Sunday after church,
Then the sixth Sunday we go out.

Thank you for taking time to be a witness and a positive influence in his life.

Stuff that reheats easily or is good cold. Gumbo and potato salad. Reheat and put on a pot of rice.

Bacon Alfredo

12 oz package of bacon
1 diced onion
1 jar of Alfredo sauce
12 oz package of spaghetti
1/4 stick of butter
Red pepper flakes to taste
Boil spaghetti until cooked, drain and set aside.
Cook bacon until crisp then remove from skillet and dice.
Add onions to bacon grease and sauté until clear.
Place cooked onions, pepper flakes, cooked bacon, butter and alfredo sauce to spaghetti and stir. Serves 6. Enjoy this quick and easy budget meal.

We’ve been helping out this kid that comes from a rough home. We pick him up for church every Sunday and make sure he has a good meal before we take him back.

What mouthbreathing incels downvote this?


Props to you, OP. The world needs more people like you
