 Hey guys welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and in our household it is me and my husband and our six-month-old baby. I typically cook five to six times per week just depending on the amount of leftovers that we have and we are kicking off another week of What's for Dinner with a quick and easy recipe that I used to make all the time and then I stopped for some reason but it is rice-a-roni casserole and so for this recipe you're going to need a box of rice mix I am using a store brand beef flavored rice mix of course rice-a-roni is the name brand and then you're also going to need some ground beef which I've already cooked up this is just a pound of ground beef and then you're going to need some fried onions and you're going to need some cream of mushroom soup and you're also going to need some cheddar cheese so all I'm going to do now that I have prepared the beef rice mix according to package directions is add in my ground beef in my can of cream of mushroom soup I'm going to stir that in in I'm going to add in about half of this can of french-fried onions so this is a six ounce container so I'm going to add half of that into the mixture and then I'm going to put this into a sprayed casserole dish probably an 11 by seven or eight I'm not sure I'm gonna put it in there and then I'm going to top it with some more of the or the rest of the french-fried onions and some cheddar cheese and I'm going to bake it it's so quick and easy I'll show you guys what it looks like when it comes out of the oven I have another recipe that I recently recorded a video for and I'll make sure to link it in the description box and also in the cards above is a Texas barbecue rice skillet similar to this and that it uses a box rice mix as the base so if you like if you think you'll like this dish that I'm cooking today you'll probably like the other recipe as well so I'll go ahead and link it for you guys but I am going to mix this up and pop it in the oven and then I'll show you guys what it looks like okay guys so here is the casserole I baked this for about 25 minutes uncovered in the oven 350 degrees and this is what it looks like on the inside when I cut it open and this is Howard's plate right here and with it I'm just serving some green beans these are the green beans from all these and all I do is just stir fry them in a skillet with some olive oil and I season them with garlic salt so this is a quick and easy meal and this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time hey guys I thought I would pop in really quick to show you guys what I'm having for breakfast I picked up this ego french toast from Kroger on my last haul and I'll make sure to link it in the description box and also in the cards above but I mentioned that I really like this french toast and I haven't been able to find it for months so I thought I would show you what it looks like so here it is on my plate so the directions on the package say to put it in the microwave or in the oven and I always grill mine so here it is excuse the pan it had butter in it and that's what I fried my french toast in so I make it just like I'm making regular french toast yes of course I could make my own french toast but I don't always have butter milk or bread in the house so I am having my french toast with some butter I'm going to add some on top and then I always use maple syrup I've been using maple syrup for years I haven't used table syrup in a long time and let me show you this is the one from Costco and you keep it in the fridge and I just pop it in the microwave so that it's nice and warm and then I'm just having some pre-cooked bacon so this is what I'm having for breakfast today um if you like french toast I definitely think you'll like this they have the classic and then they also have a brown sugar and I do not like the brown sugar at all it does not taste the same as the classic so anyway this is what I'm having for breakfast today and I'll see you guys for dinner hey guys so we are having a quick and easy meal tonight we are having just some beans and rice and so I have well I try to keep canned beans in my pantry so I'm using some pinto beans tonight I got these from Aldi but I also have black beans I have black eyed peas I have filled peas and it's just a quick easy go-to for us of course I do have dried beans as well but when I'm in a hurry all I do is take some canned beans and doctor them up I didn't want to add any meat to these but of course you can add bacon or ham hocks I just decided to use some bouillon that I had in the cabinet this is ham flavor so I use that I also use some onion salt I mean onion powder garlic powder and I also use some seasoning salt as well and I just simmered them down until the sauce got a little bit thick and then I am serving it over some jasmine rice I'm eating first Howard is taking care of Harrison but he is going to add avocado to his he always likes to have avocado with his beans and rice so quick and simple meal tonight beans and rice see you guys next time hey guys so we are back to our freezer for dinner tonight we are having General So's chicken from our freezer and then also these pork egg rolls and they are from Tom Thumb the General So's chicken is from Wynco which is a local grocery store and so here is what it looks like on the plate you just prepare it in the skillet and I am serving mine on top of just some jasmine rice here is the egg roll and the egg rolls come with little four individual little packets of sweet and sour sauce so Howard likes these I probably won't be using one I'm not a fan of sweet and sour so anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time hey guys so for dinner tonight we are having this mama cozy's pizza it is one of the taken baked pizzas from Aldi it is a medium meat pizza with sausage pepperoni beef philly steak meat bacon crumbles four cheeses on a traditional crest this is my first time getting it it's 12 inches 100 cheese I went to Aldi today and I'll make sure to link that grocery haul in the cards above and also in the description box and so I wanted to try this pizza because people have been talking about it for a while and so it's actually really good I'm really impressed with this pizza it cost four dollars and 49 cents you cannot beat that and here it is you bake it on the oven at 375 for 15 to 18 minutes and Howard baked this one for 18 minutes there are five servings in this pizza and we just cut it into fourths and then we split one just to try it on camera I mean just want just to try it to tell you guys what it's like on camera um but we really
