4 Quick and Easy Pantry Meals

I'll show you four quick and easy meals I made from items I needed to use up in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. I've been focusing more on homemade meals for my family. That's one of the ways that I have lost 70 pounds.

I am not going to be specific about the amounts of the ingredients or the steps. I recommend just using whatever you have left in the kitchen and eyeballing the amounts you use, just like I did.

1. Creamy chicken

I have two chicken breasts that I seasoned with garlic and herb seasoning on both sides in the crockpot ready to go. I'm going to make a creamy chicken ranch dish.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breasts
• Can of creamy soup
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• Seasonings of choice

I served it with carrots. Here’s another super-simple and delicious supper.

3. Spaghetti and meatballs

Ingredients:

• Meatballs
• Spaghetti sauce
• Pasta

I added spaghetti, and sauce, and served it all with broccoli as a side. (Although in this photo my dish doesn’t have pasta).

4. Sloppy Joe’s hot pockets

Ingredients:

• Pizza dough
• Ground beef
• Tomato sauce
• Diced onion
• Worcestershire sauce
• Brown sugar
• Seasonings of your choice

While that heated up, I seasoned and baked my home-canned potatoes. They do taste different if you’re curious about canned potatoes.

You can bake these, fry them on the stovetop, or air-fry them. I drizzled olive oil on them, seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and onion powder, and tossed to coat. I put them in the oven to roast.
