My children's friends step into our home breathing in the air, anticipating the aroma of goodies baking in the oven. More often than not, It's Brownies!

CHEAP AND YUMMY BROWNIE RECIPE!

VINNIE'S EGG NOODLE STEW!

2 Large Cans Beef Stew

1 can peas
drained
1 can corn
drained

~ Boil noodles per package instructions and drain
~ put noodles back in pan
~ Add beef stew, corn and peas

~ stir under low heat until desired temperature


DONE!

Story behind recipe: Our 8 year old son came into the kitchen carrying items from the pantry that he thought sounded good to eat on his dinner night. I spotted that they were all good choices so we decided to mix them all together...Voila! Great Family Meal! :-)

Yes, it looks "interesting" but it tastes and smells so good!
HAPPY FAST & FRUGAL EATING!

Hi Shelly~
I love going to the cabinets and pulling out random items and trying to make something with them, thats how the best meals come about!! Great idea, I may try it but would have to cut it way back since the most that I ever feed at my house is 2 hahaha
