You probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen already.
Make a quesadilla. Tortilla, grated cheese, tortilla on top. Lightly butter a pan. Put in the quesadilla, cook till lightly browned then flip it over, cook some more till the cheese is melted. Serve with salsa. You can add some taco flavored meat, either beef or turkey. You can also add refried beans to it. It's good both ways. Have some salad with it if you like. Also good served with guacamole and sour cream.
As a poor single mother trying to recover from a divorce I tried this and it tasted pretty good and it was cheap.


Ingredients:


%26lt;%26gt; 1 chub of pan sausage (I like Jimmy Dean or Owens because they are pretty lean)


%26lt;%26gt; 1 can of Rotel tomatoes


%26lt;%26gt; 1 can of pinto or Ranch Style Beans





Brown the sausage in a skillet or a sauce pan. Add the beans and the tomatoes. Heat through. Serve with cornbread, corn chips, or crackers.



This is more of a snack than a meal but i hope it helps, If you look up a simple sugar cookie recipie you can find some really good ones and it only takes about half an hour.
My favorite fast and easy dish is a can of Spaghetti-Os and a can of cream-style corn. Just heat them together, add salt and pepper to taste, and have a piece of bread with it.
