Cheese People Slices Easy To Make Meals Canned Grilled Popular

In the United States, there are many popular "easy-to-make" (not requiring very much time or effort) meals. Many of the meals are also especially popular in families with young children who are often "picky eaters" (people who dislike many foods).

"Mac and cheese" or "macaroni and cheese" is a "comfort food" (a food that many people eat as children and that make them feel safe or happy) that is easy to prepare. A thick cheese sauce is mixed with small noodles, and sometimes people add vegetables like peas or some diced ham or canned tuna fish. The sauce is easy to make, but many people "prefer" (like more) to buy a prepared version sold in a box with a cheese "packet" (small envelope), which contains a packet that is simply mixed with butter and milk.

Grilled cheese is another easy-to-make meal. Slices of cheese are placed between two slices of "buttered" (with butter spread on the surface) bread, and then the sandwich is grilled in a pan until it is a golden brown. Sometimes people add slices of ham, turkey, or tomato. Grilled cheese sandwiches are often served with canned tomato soup.

Another easy-to-make meal is "franks & beans." The cook slices "frankfurters" (hot dogs) and cooks them with canned baked beans (beans that have been cooked in a sweet and salty sauce).

Some families eat a lot of "casseroles" (one-dish meals made by mixing many ingredients and baking them in the oven). Casseroles can be made from almost any combination of "leftovers" (food that was not eaten in one meal, but is saved for later). The easiest versions mix chopped meats and vegetables with a can of cream of mushroom soup and/or beaten eggs, with cheese "sprinkled" (placed lightly) over the top.
