The Fast and Frugal: Coming to a table near you

The fast and frugal staring Penne Rigate and Cream of Mushroom Soup is one meal you don't want to miss! This delicious mixture of star ingredients is a great lunch or supper meal. Once Penne is cooked cream of mushroom does his job of reuniting Penne with frozen veggies and turkey leftovers. This is a one pot meal that will have your family feed in no time and raving with great reviews.



Penne Rigate is back in The fast and frugal part 2! This time Cream of Mushrooms sister, Tomato Soup, is starting in this one pot dish along side of lean ground beef. What a flavorful meal when combined with spices and frozen veggie may even do a guest appearance.



Now doesn't those descriptions make these two meals sound exciting! hehehe. Both of these meals are so easy, fast and frugal to make. And when accompanied with some frozen veggies or salad these meals meet all 4 food groups. The reason the milk is in the first picture is because I like to mix my soups with a little bit of milk to make the meal a bit more creamy. Some other things I add especially to fast and frugal dish one is cream cheese if I have any floating around in the fridge and some Parmesan cheese.

So readers let me hear about your "fast and frugal" meal ideas. If you have a meal that is super easy to whip up (5 ingredients or less) let me know and I would like to post it here for you!
