Mix and simmer for about 15min. Fried Rice I buy a packet of seasoning white rice 6 scrambled eggs Frozen pea's and carrots 1 Shredded chicken breast Start your rice first as it takes 20min to cook and I usually make about 4-6 servings. Next cook the chicken and then the eggs. Rice should be done by now so I toss it all in a big skillet and stir fry it a bit with the pea's and carrots. Yummy Mac N cheese with Hot dogs Mac n cheese with Broccoli and onions Mac N cheese with spagetti sauce and hot dogs Chicken breast cooked with mushroom soup and served over white/brown rice

i love fried rice when you say packet of seasoning is it a fried rice mix or something

Taco Soup
1 family size can of tomato soup
1 16 oz. jar of picante salsa
1 bag of tortilla chips
some chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese for garnish

Mix the soup and salsa together in a pot over medium heat. Add a little water if it seems too thick, or you're wanting to stretch it farther (usually I'll pour enough water into the soup can and salsa jar to get everything out of them and pour it all into the pot. Not that much.). Put some tortilla chips in the bottom of each bowl, crushed a little so they'll fit on the spoon, when eaten. Ladle the soup over the chips and top with onions and cheese.

This was a quick and easy favorite when growing up. I personally don't like green onions, so I always just put cheese on mine.
Warning: the chips will be slightly soggy. I don't mind, but I know some people might.
