Here’s my go to recipe – Cheap and Healthy Shepherd’s Pie! It’s a great way to use up those super cheap potatoes before they go bad!
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp herbes de Provence (or Italian Seasoning but the herbes de Provence are worth investing in and go a long way!)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup lentils
2 1/2 cups veg stock or water
2 diced tomatoes or one 32 oz can of diced tomatoes from stockpile
6 cups mashed potatoes
Preheat oven to 350. Heat oil in stockpot over medium. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add garlic, herbes de provence, and salt and cook for another couple minutes until onions look ready. Add 2 1/2 cups veggie stock or water and lentils, increase heat to high, and boil. Reduce to simmer, cover and cook until lentils are tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 25 to 40 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and transfer to a casserole dish. Top with an even layer of mashed potatoes and bake about 30 minutes until thoroughly heated and potatoes are browned.
I adapted this from a recipe by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin and the original recipe is just as yummy but this is the version that always works with what I have on hand. I get requests from friends for this one and depending on how you make your mashed potatoes, it can be under 300 calories for a big serving!
Love your site. Thanks again for the RAOK envelope a few weeks ago!!
Happy 4th of July! Love the Blog – Thanks

Here is a stockpile recipe for a second entry. I used to double this to serve my family of 6 so it used a lot of sour cream.
Mexican Chicken Casserole
1 8-10 oz carton of sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 packet of dry taco seasoning
1 cup Rotel tomatoes or any other salsa
1 large package (2 cups) of shredded cheeses
(I personally like the mexican mix or taco cheeses) or cheddar
3-4 flour tortillas
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (great for using left over rotisserie chicken)
(onions, onion flakes, garlic or flakes optional) If using fresh onion or garlic, soften them in a skillet with a little butter or oil a few minutes before adding.
Combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, taco seasoning, onions and/or garlic if using. Retain about 1/2 cup cheese and add the remainder to the sour cream mix.
Spray the bottom of a casserole with pam or oil lightly…
Tear tortillas in approx 1X 2 inch strips and line the bottom of the dish with them. Add a layer of shredded chicken, spoon 1/2 cup rotel or salsa on top of that.. then add a layer of the sour cream mix over that… and repeat the entire sequence starting wtih the tortillas.
Bake for aprox 25 mins at 350 till bubbly, then sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top and cook another 10 minutes until its golden and bubbly.
Great giveaway! I love your site!
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th. Nice holiday animation.
Please enter me in the contest.
Happy 4th everyone!!!
Happy 4th!
you are the best! Happy 4th!!!
Happy 4th Ann and all readers!! Lisa
I got the idea for this from when we use to overpay for Schwan’ premade food. It used up some of my stockpile of canned soup, broth, frozen veggies, cheese and rice.
Here’s there the recipe is located….
http://simpleslug.blogspot.com/2009/06/recipe-cheesy-chicken-broccoli-rice.html
I used cream of chicken soup but mushroom or celery or whatever creamed soup is in your stockpile will work and whatever veggies you happen to have. You can replace some of the milk with sour cream in the recipe for a richer taste.
Not only can you use up stockpile but it goes in the crockpot to cook.
Happy 4th Ann!! Thanks for the awesome contest again!!
Happy Independence Day.
Stockpile recipe:
To go to fast picnic salad
2 Cans garbanzo beans (or beans of your choice we prefer the garbanzo)
1 medium onion diced fine
2-3 Stalks celery diced
1/4 tsp garlic powder
pepper to taste
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 mayo
1/2 parsley flakes
Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans, set aside in a bowl. To the beans add the diced onion, celery and seasonings. Combine and mix well the sour cream and mayo and pour over the seasoned beans in the bowl. Mix well and chill for about 1 hr prior to serving.
*There are a tons of variations to this recipe, whether it be a change of beans or subbing the mayo w/ ranch etc. Adding or substracting veggies as well. Very basic, but very, very good. When we take it to a picnic/potluck, I never bring any home, lol
Happy 4th and thanks for the wonderful contest!

stockpile recipe:
mexican casserole
-cut 2 chicken breasts into bite size pieces and bake with a packet of taco or burrito mix
-when the chicken is cooked through-add 2 cups of black beans (drained)

throw that in the chicken mix-also add one whole jar of salsa and whatever cheese you have on hand (i like the mexican mix) stir it all together-top with some more shredded cheese and bake at 350 for 30 minutes-YUM!
Thanks for all the sale and coupon info.
Here’s my receipe using sour cream!
Cheesy hashbrowns
One bag frozen hashbrowns
one small can cheddar cheese soup
one small container of sour cream
Brown hashbrowns
Once hashbrowns are brown, combine the remaining ingredients with the hashbrowns. Serve.
This stockpile “recipe” is so easy it feels like cheating….
One of the many boxes of pasta (penne is my preferred)
One of the many jars of spaghetti sauce.
EITHER your free Premio Italian sausage (removed from casing and browned) OR chicken (fresh cooked) OR that inexpensive bag of nuggets/tenders
One of the many pkgs of shredded mozorella.
Layer in a large casserole dish. Make sure there’s spaghetti sauce and cheese in the middle and on top.
Bake whatever…. 350 for 30 minutes or so!
Obviously, you can change this up many different ways
Thanks for all the great info. I love your site.
Happy Independence Day!

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Combine apples and cherries. Arrange in greased 2-quart shallow baking dish. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake in 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until apples are tender. Serve with whipped cream.
Ann! What an awesome giveaway !!! HAPPY 4th!
You could have a stockpile of eggs. If you’ve stockpiled the Walgreens RR’s, it’s a lousy week to redeem them. BUT…eggs are $.99, so stockpile them if you’re willing to make egg salad. Boil, cool, peel, chop, toss w mayo/mustard/ranch dressing/dill/ s&p/celery etc. in any combo. No special recipe required.
You have a great blog, Ann. Keep up the great work!
thank you for this wealth of information
It’s basil season! Pesto recipe for stocking up in that freezer! Strangely, my 1.5 year old will only eat pasta with gobs and gobs of pesto sauce and not any red sauce whatsoever, so thankfully we had a lot of basil plants last season that has gotten us through to this one.
Pesto! Super easy!
in a blender combine lots and lots of basil, olive oil, and parmesan cheese.
Chop in the blender until smooth. Add pine nuts if you want to mix them in but you can always add them later. pour pesto into lots of freezer safe containers and freeze for later use. when you go to thaw the pesto take out the day before and put in the fridge or transfer to a microwave safe container (not plastic!) and microwave for 5-7 minutes, add pasta and done!
Thank you for another great contest!
Happy 4th of July!!
Thank you for the opportunity!
Happy 4th!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Happy 4th! Great contest!
Actually, I was just getting ready to make this recipe from what I have in my cabinets and fridge:
Broccoli bacon salad:

* 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
* 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 4 cups finely chopped broccoli crowns
* 1 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped (optional) some people use sunflower seeds or something else crunchy instead
* 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
* 3 tablespoons dried cranberries
* Freshly ground pepper , to taste
1. Whisk garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar and sugar in a large bowl. Add broccoli, water chestnuts, bacon, cranberries and pepper; stir to coat with the dressing.

Thanks for the “free” entry #1 since I don’t have anything for entry #2
Happy 4th.
Stockpile recipe:
I like to make chicken alfredo or chicken pesto pizza, using refrigerated pizza dough, pre-cooked until just lightly browned. Spread very lightly with either jarred alfredo sauce or pesto. Microwave Tyson’s grilled chicken breast strips, or use other pre-cooked chicken. Cut into bite size pieces and sprinkle over pizza. Cover with grated cheese-mozarella, Italian blend, whichever I have on hand. Bake about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is hot.

Stockpile recipe:
Using this one since you requested a sour cream one & it’s berry season!
Fruit Topping:
1/2 c. sour cream
2 T. brown sugar
Mix together. Chill. Serve over fruit. Goes expecially well with blueberries. You can also add some fresh orange rind and/or a bit of whatever fruit juice you have on hand. Recipe multiplies very easily. I often serve as a side to fruit salad. People can add sauce to taste. I also have used the leftovers in fruit smoothies. Very good!!
Happy 4th Ann and thanks !

2 Tb soy sauce or Teriyaki sauce
Garlic either powder or whole to taste
Pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients and meat into a into a Ziploc bag. I use this for tough pieces of meat or for added flavor. Marinate overnight for best results. Measurements are not exact because I don’t measure my ingredients, I just pour to taste. So experiment and have fun!
I love your site and your contest! Such sweet prizes how could I not enter? Irresistable! Here is my stockplie reciepe for your husband. Debbie’s Cheap Beef Stroganoff. I always have stockpiles of egg noodles. Ground beef from recent bogo at Pathmark. Chop one onion and brown it with the ground beef, be sure to drain off the fat into an old can.With the ground beef back in the pan, add about 1 cup of water And 2 tsp Worchestershire Sauce, some salt and pepper to taste and about 4 tablespoons dried parsely. Boil one package of eggnoodles once you begin the sauce. After the ground beef and spices begin to bubble reduce the heat on your saute pan to low. Slowly fold in the sour creme. DO NOT LET IT BOIL> This will burn the sour creme. Keep pan on it;s lowest setting, and keep stirring with a wooden sppon. Drain off your noodles and top. Serve with grated parmasan cheese. My family loves this! To reheat left overs add about 3/4 cup of water and remember to keep it on low so you dont burn the sour cream. Leftovers taste even better !
Hope your 4th has been a good one! Love, love, love this site!!!!

Jiffy Milk Chocolate Frosting
1 cup of sugar, 3 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, cut in small pieces, 3 tablespoons softened (not melted) butter,
1 6 oz (or 5 oz) can evaporated milk (the small can) poured in a saucepan & heated just to boiling
Add all ingredients to blender and blend about one minute at high speed. Stop and scrape the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula. Blend again at high speed for three minutes until thick, scraping the sides of the blender as necessary.
Pour into a bowl & cool, stirring occasionally until frosting holds it’s shape. In warm weather you may have to refrigerate & stir/watch until the frosting holds it’s shape. Enough to frost the tops of 2 8″ layer cakes.
If you need more frosting make another batch in the same blender.
Do not double the recipe & make as one big batch of frosting as this is too heavy for the blender.
Chicken Sour Cream & Cheese Bake
1 10 & 1/2-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 8-ounce jar process cheese spread (cheese whiz or some other), 1/4 cup milk, 2 cups diced leftover or cooked chicken, 3 tablespoons chopped, canned green chilies, 4 cups corn chips
In saucepan heat together soup and cheese spread until blended, gradually stir in milk. Off the heat stir in sour cream until blended. Add cooked chicken and chilies. Return to heat. Cook and stir until bubbly. Crush half of the corn chips, coarsely. Place in a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Pour in the soup mixture. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven and top with the remaining uncrushed 2 cups corn chips & return the casserole to the oven for another 5 minutes or so to warm the corn chips. Remove from oven & let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 4 or 5.
i would love to win anyone of these,thank you for being so generous.
Have a wonderful holiday Ann!!
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your blog.
Thank You!
Thanks for the contest!
Here is a really simple tasty (and healthy) recipe. It is really great in the colder months. It is called 5 can soup. You just mix 1 can black beans, 1 can kidney beans (you can really use any two beans you like), and 1 can refried beans (I use fat-free)… plus 1 can chicken broth and 1 can chicken (I have never actually made it w/ the chicken so I make it 4 can soup). You can add a can of corn too if you like. Salt and pepper and that’s it. It’s really good just like that actually. You can use more or less broth if you like, if you use less, it’ll be thicker and my husband thinks it’s great on hot dogs. Hubby can top with sour cream if he likes.
Thanks again!
Great idea, love the recipe ideas!
Happy 4th to you, hubby and Sonnyboy. Would love to win!

Looks like I put my comment on the wrong post so I’m posting here. Happy 4th of July.
Happy fourth to you! Thanks.
Maybe these aren’t other people’s stockpile items, but I’m a little weird. This is one of my favorite meals and it happens to work well on a low carb diet.
1 pound of frozen ground venison (tastes fine with beef, but make sure it’s lean, this is an easy meal and who wants to take time to drain it?)
1 bag frozen french cut green beans (I buy them in large quantities when on sale)
1 jar of Ragu Alfredo Sauce (again, something I stock up on when Tops has those catalina deals and coupons)
Thaw meat a bit in microwave to save some time, then put meat and frozen green beans in large skillet and cook until meat is no longer pink, then add the jar of sauce.
Thanks for the Chance

How generous of you!

Excited that I found another couponing blog. Thanks for the contest.
Hope everyone had a good weekend! Good luck everyone
Today, I made one of my favorite stockpile recipes.
Fried Rice
2 cups (ish) chicken meat (or beef, pork, tofu, etc)
4 cups leftover cooked rice (I used cooked brown/black/wild blend)
4+ cups veggies (I used broccoli, green beans and sugar snap pea stir fry blend–good way to use up little bits of bags)
3 eggs
garlic, shallots, onions, and/or green onions
sesame or other oil for frying
Chinese 5 spice, about 2 tsp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-spice_powder
black pepper
cayenne and/or Sri Racha sauce
ginger, fresh and grated or
liquid amino acids or soy sauce, to taste
sesame seeds
Cook aromatics in a wok (or large skillet) in frying oil til tender. Beat eggs and drop into pan, cooking quickly. Set to side of pan or remove from pan. Add in veggies and chicken to heat through. Add in rice and cook quickly on high so it doesn’t turn mushy. Spice to taste. Put sesames and extra green onions on top, if desired.
I love homemade fried rice. So much healthier and a great way to use up leftovers. I used the rest of my leftover chicken and veggies to make chicken pot pie filling. Two in one! I ate a portion of the fried rice and then put the rest in containers in the freezer for future meals.
I know this is a simple recipe, but it’s good for you and contains all the food groups and lots of healthy herbs. I hope this helps someone. Thanks again for the chances, Ann!
I LOVE coupons deals and more!
I use all of my canned and frozen vegis and and make taco soup and then freeze it!
Hamburger
frozen Corn
Canned Tomatoes
Kidney Beans
Taco Seasoning
Throw it together and either serve or freeze it!
So easy and quick
I love your blog and it has helped me save so much.
What a great giveaway!
I love your blog Ann! Happy 4th!
I don’t know what to call it, but here’s an easy dessert:
Graham Crackers
Apple Sauce
Whipped Topping (optional)
Crush graham crackers to crumbs and layer in a pan with spoonfulls of applesauce. Let chill overnight. Top with whipped cream if desired. Noone will guess it is so easy and simple!
Oh, I left my recipe entry but I forgot about my first one! Here it is.
Happy 4th! I just watched fireworks from my driveway. I hope you did something fun!
Happy 4th of July
Thanks for the contest!
Baked pasta (any kind)
1 pound ground beef (any leftover meat)
1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (any tomato sauce/pasta)
1 pound pasta
2 cups shredded cheese (any kind), divided
Preheat oven to 350 F. In large skillet, cook ground beef until brown. Mix spaghetti sauce into skillet. Reduce heat and simmer. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Mix in pasta and cook until al dente . Drain. Mix together spaghetti and meat mixture. Stir in 1 cup of cheese. Pour into 9 x 13-inch pan. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes.
My favorite stockpile recipe is Garlic chicken pasta.
Season 1lb chicken breast with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cut into 1 inch strips and saute in olive oil until cooked through. While sauteing pasta, boil pot of water to cook 1 box rotini until just al dente. Mix chicken, pasta and 1 jar marinara in a dutch oven or other pot you can place in oven. Top chicken pasta with Mozzerella cheese and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly. So easy and so yummy!
Thanks again for the contest.
BTW- I count Mozzerella as part of my stockpile since a friend told me you can freeze the bagged, shredded mozz. I have about 10 bags on hand at a time now!
Thank you.. Happy 4th
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th!!
how nice
Happy Independence Day!
we all have cake mix stockpiles!
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup orange juice
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients well and pour into a cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool and frost with white or cream cheese frosting. THis cake is always a big hit!
another way to make this is in a bundt pan with glaze:
GLAZE:
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
Prepare glaze 5 minutes before cake is done. Mix all the glaze ingredients over heat until the mixture boils.
Remove the cake from the oven and pour the glaze on top (while the cake’s still in the pan). Let stand for 15 minutes then turn over out of the bundt pan
