Bachelor Microwave Food Ideas

[SEB]

Well I live strictly by my Microwave when im out at my place. Im looking for some good hearty meal idea's that will fill me up & that are good!

Here is some of my likes thus far

Hormel Turkey Chilli
Campbells Chunky Grilled Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
Maria Calanders Turkey & Chicken BIG POT PIES
Zatarans Red Beans & Rice

Just need some other idea's. Im getting burned out on the above, I also have a grill & thinking about getting a smoker & trying to learn to cook!

what about tostitos, lay slices of cheese over them, add jalapenos, and heat for 1 min 15 seconds? One of my favs.

Definitely learn to use that grill. It will be a much healthier way to prepare food. You can cook just about any meat on that grill. Hell, you can even use it to heat a skillet.

I used to eat the out of those el monterrey? frozen burritos.

I buy pregrilled microwaveable chicken breasts and mix with rice, corn or other veggies. It's also good to smother them with cheese soup.

This helpse to limit and count calories as well to stay lean. The frozen skillet dinners are good as well...stauffers, viola, etc

Steak!!

No seriously.
Baked potatoes and Wolf Brand Chili come to mind.

Are these in the frozen section of the Grocery store. I shop on the norm at Walmart. But im not against Kroger or Brookshires.

Def looking for more stuff with Rice & most of MEAT!

Healthy Choice make these things called Cafe Steamers. They are usually like 2.50-2.75 at walmart and they are excellent in the microwave. I usually take them for lunch and they are good, being from healthy choice makes them even good for you, relatively speaking of course!

How big are the portians? I have been scoping those, But I would think it would take at least two of those to fill me up.

Walmart carries a brand called Steamfresh which has veggies, chicken, and rice dishes that are pretty good. Marie Calendars (sp?) stuff isn't bad.

FYI - you can cook ground meat in the microwave. Get a three piece microwave safe collander/steamer set. (My wife got hers from Tupperware.) Put the meat in the middle and let the fat drain off. It's healthier than frying.
You can also put water in the bottom and use it as a steamer. Makes great corn on the cob, squash, carrots, green beans, etc.

Stay away from all that frozen processed food, that shit is unhealthy.

They're not to small they were good for a lunch but I could see maybe needing something to go with it if it's for a dinner or you're a big eater.

I'll second those steamfresh vegetables, they are really good and easy to make in the microwave. Good for making a last second side dish with dinner.
