Fast N Easy One Pot Recipes [Kindle Edition]

Joan Chadwick (Author)

Book Description

One pot meals are the way to go for busy people. And no matter how cooking challenged one may be, these quick 1 pot dinners using ground beef will be talked about by everyone at the table because everyone loves ground beef.

They are simply, wonderful and easy too!

I love using one pot meals. You can get a full meal cooking in just a few minutes, literally. And if you want, you can expand the one pot meal using rice, noodles or pasta.

And because the ingredients are so varied and the preparation time so short, they are healthy alternatives to bringing home fast food for dinner.

Anything cooked at home is always more healthy then anything you can pick up at a fast food restaurant.

Get your Kindle copy today, you will soon know many of the easy dinner ideas by heart, and so will your guests.

1.0 out of 5 stars You're kiddin' me, right??? September 19, 2012

UPDATE: Recently the author of this cookbook saw fit to change her cover photo to one which looks a bit more palatable than my description of her original cover offering. This new photo, however, seems to show both cooked ground beef and perhaps cooked carrots and a lot of seemingly uncooked red, yellow and green bell peppers tossed on top...perhaps in an attempt to bolster her claim that these are actual full dinners, in one pot. Additionally, she has changed her cover copy to now reflect that these are "hamburger only" recipes, and she's added a partial "disclaimer" to her forward concerning the use of additional pots for rice, noodles and pasta. I am happy that the author is now ATTEMPTING to be more correct in her claims but stand by my original assessment of the recipes, the fact that they aren't, in many cases, "dinners" and still aren't, in many cases, "one pot dinners".

Original review with some amendments:
Yikes! What a mess this supposed "Fast N Easy One Pot Dinner Recipes" book is. I read and use lots of cookbooks and this has to be one of the most sophomoric, non-creative, just plain bad ones I've come across. From its Barf-In-A-Bucket cover shot (changed since I originally wrote this) to the list of "wonderful meals" which are, for the most part, nothing more than fat, hamburger, salt, milk and a few other ingredients, you're sure to stir up a meal that nobody is likely to forget...ever! You may take that any way you like. Case in point, her amazing "Drumsticks"; now...you might think you will be looking at a recipe for a chicken dish, right??? WRONG! You are actually looking at a recipe for hamburger on a stick shaped to look like a drumstick and then fried in fat. Why (you might ask) would you go to the trouble of shaping hamburger to look like a chicken leg and then put it on a stick and fry it in fat? Perhaps for the same reason you might take a hamburger patty and shape it to look like a Porterhouse steak...another stellar suggestion by this author. Neither of these two recipes qualify as a "dinner" (in my book) as they are comprised solely of a big wad of meat. I'm sure the author knows what a balanced diet is and I don't think entries like these constitute a "dinner" (unless you are totally carnivorous). It's all hamburger all the time with this author (and huge amounts of it!). She will have you turning two pounds of ground beef into a "patty" so you can make her World Famous "Galley Gourmet Meat Loaf" which is skillet fried and contains a whopping four (4) ingredients. Amazingly, FAT isn't one of them, although nowhere in this little "gem" does she suggest you use LEAN ground beef nor does she EVER suggest you pour off the FAT that accumulates from browning your ground meat. She does suggest you serve this "Gourmet meatloaf"; i.e., (giant hamburger patty) with her "vegetable medley" which contains frozen corn and peas and a "1ge" (read onege) tomato diced. Man, that really sounds like something worth coming home to, don't you think??? Wait! Perhaps you would enjoy her other-worldly Swimmin'-In-Soup baked spaghetti dish which like many of her "one pot meals" requires at least two pots (and a casserole dish in this instance) to "create". This fantastic entry calls for two cans of soup (condensed tomato and cream of mushroom) as well as TWO, count 'em, two 8 ounce cans of tomato PASTE, and also requires a 20 oz can of olives and a can of corn. Corn in spaghetti sauce??? Not on my planet. Need a good laugh? You've found it in this book. Hungry and looking for some really good one pot meals? Look elsewhere! Oh wait!!! Is that the dinner bell at Joan's house? I'm a runnin'...THE OTHER WAY!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title September 19, 2012

By Mrs. A-barth

Sadly, this recipe book is named incorrectly. Firstly, most of the recipes require two pots
- one for meat and one for rice or pasta. Secondly, many of the recipes are not dinners, if you like to include a few veggies with your meal. Thirdly, ground beef is the meat of choice. You won't find any chicken, pork, lamb or fish entrees. So perhaps the title of this book, so as not to mislead the readers, could be "Two-Pot Ground Beef Recipes" - although, sorry, there may be one bean recipe included. I'm not saying the recipes aren't good; I haven't tried them--just some comments on the title as it relates to the content.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slop On Plate September 22, 2012

By Sapphire La Hehcmi

Yep, the slop on the cover sums everything up for this book. Also, tell me why some of the recipes require more than one pot, and why all them are basically just hamburger meat, ketchup, salt, and fat! I would kill myself (or die of embarassment) if I some how made one of these recipes.
