Quick Cooking with Canned Foods And Nathan's Reversible Grill n Griddle

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

If you're looking for some time saving tricks for the kitchen, make sure to make a pit stop in the canned goods aisle the next time you go to your favorite grocery store. Canned food items can help you whip up a meal in no time at all, so they are great for the working parent or busy family. Here are some tips for using canned food items to save time in the kitchen:

Canned soups. These days, your canned soup aisle is brimming with different types of soup. No longer just a haven for chicken noodle and tomato varieties, today's canned soup aisle has choices like French Onion, Cream of Asparagus and Fiesta Cheese. You can use canned soups to make delicious sauces for poultry. Mix a can of cream soup with a little milk for a flavorful sauce or topping.

Canned beans. Who has time to soak beans overnight? Canned varieties of black beans, kidney beans and northern white beans are just as delicious as their dried counterparts. You can add canned beans to soups, stews and casseroles to add fiber and flavor-- all you need is a can opener! Next time you're then add a can of lima beans and kidney beans. You may want to doctor them up to taste with fixings like ketchup, cooked onions and brown sugar, but this three bean medley is a great (and fiber-filled) way to add more beans to your diet.

Canned chicken, tuna or salmon. In the mood for some homemade chicken quesadillas but don't feel like cooking a chicken? Just head to your canned goods aisle for chunk, white meat chicken. You can substitute canned chicken when making sandwiches, dips and appetizers. It tastes great and all you have to do is drain the water out of the can-- no quick cooking required! Canned tuna is great for making a tuna casserole and canned salmon can be used to make a healthy and delicious sandwich.

Canned vegetables. If you're making a homemade chicken or turkey pot pie, try adding a can of mixed vegetables to the mixture. It's a quick and easy way to add a variety of veggies in one fell swoop.

Canned crushed tomatoes. If you don't have time to make real Italian spaghetti sauce from scratch, try this trick. Buy your favorite brand of jarred spaghetti sauce and then add a can of crushed or pureed tomatoes to it. You will be adding tons of extra tomato flavor for just a few pennies per serving. Also, next time you make homemade chili, add a can of whole, peeped tomatoes-- they taste delicious and will help make your chili extra chunky.

Canned fruit. If it's like pulling teeth to get you kids to eat enough fruit everyday, try buying canned fruit cocktail. Make sure it's packed in its own juice and not in sugary syrup. Canned fruit can also be added to Jell-O desserts and salads. Speaking of salads, mandarin oranges go great in a green salad and they add a burst of color to boot.
