OK, not really, but I wanted your attention. When I was a working mom this was the most common dinner emergency. Second only to "I am to tired to stand in front of a stove long enough to get dinner on the table" . Let's start with the "I forgot", though. Face it, you can't remember everything, and sometimes we just forget. So what do you do?
At our house it meant we had a few options depending on the state of the freezer and, what was in the cupboard. Sometimes it meant omelets for dinner, a quick tuna casserole, soup and grilled cheese or maybe it meant a quick chicken or polish sausage casserole.
If you have some boneless skinelss chicken breast filets in the freezer, you know, the kind that come flash frozen in a bag?, then a chicken casserole with still frozen chicken is an option. Also smoked sausage, or keilbase cooks from frozen pretty easily as well.
Grab a box of Au gratin or scalloped potatoes from the cupboard. Yeah, I know, "dinner in a box",but hey, it may not taste as good as from scratch, but at least it isn't pizza, again. OK, take your box of potatoes, put it in a baking dish, cut your chicken up in to it, follow the directions add some frozen vegies, and there you go! Instant casserole! Follow the same directions for the smaked sausage/keilbase, only leave the keilbase intact on top. Poke a few holes in it with a fork so it doesn't split.
