One Pot Mondays - Potatoes with meat and veggies

With a hectic schedule I do not like to spend a lot of time cleaning pots and pans and dishes. Nor do I want to spend a lot of time mixing and fixing an entree, and side dishes. Especially on Mondays when my boys go to scouts in the evening.

So, Mondays are One-pot meal nights! Rarely is there much prep work or time involved in making these meals, but they taste great and do not mess up 400 pots and pans!

Tonight we have...

Potatoes with meat and veggies

Ingredients:
1 box of scalloped or au gratin potatoes (with the seasoning packet)
2 cups veggie of your choice (I use a combination of corn, peas and carrots)
2 cups cooked and diced meat of your choice (ham or chicken both work great in this meal)
1 and 1/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup milk
3 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar (also really good with Mexican blend or taco blend)

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Spray an 8 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In the casserole dish combine all the ingredients (including the potatoes and seasoning packet from the potatoes box). Mix well.

Bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Quick, easy, delicious!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
