I'm so lazy sometimes....

I didn't feel like typing these recipes up, but I finally did tonight. Baked Chicken (serves 3) 3 chicken leg quarters 1 tsp each dried oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary. 1 diced onion 1 minced clove of garlic salt and pepper Preheat oven to 400 F. Rinse the chicken and rub with the spices and garlic. Put the diced onion in a 9x13 baking dish and place the chicken over it. bake for an hour or so, or until the juices run clear/ the meat registers 165 F on an instant read thermometer. Sloppy Joes (makes about 8 if you use small buns) 1/2 pound of ground beef 1/2 cup minced green pepper 1/2 cup minced onion 2 cloves of garlic, minced 8 oz tomato sauce (you can use ketchup, if you want, and omit the sugar) a few tsp. of sugar worchestershire sauce ground cumin chili powder salt and pepper Brown the beef in a large skillet. When it is mostly cooked, add the onion and bell pepper. When the meat is fully cooked, add the garlic and cook for just a minute. Add in the tomato sauce, and season to taste with the above ingredients. Beats the hell out of manwich :) Cheese Grits Casserole (serves 4) Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. In the meantime, heat 4 TB of butter in a skillet over medium heat, whisk 2 eggs, a half cup of milk, and a few pinches of ground red pepper.grease an 8x8 pan or any other 2 qt. casserole and preheat the oven to 350 F. chop an onion and add it to the melted butter in the skillet. when the onion is translucent, add a minced clove of garlic.cook for a minute and remove from heat. When the water boils, add a cup of grits and a tsp of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring often for about 15-20 minutes, or until very thick. (you can use a very low heat. This stuff likes to stick, so don't forget to stir it!) when the grits are cooked, add the onion mixture, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and the egg mixture. spread in the greased pan and bake for about an hour. It's done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
