Shipwreck Dinner
It’s not pretty but, it’s a tasty, busy-night, kid-friendly meal. It’s not ‘gourmet,’ but it’s hot filling and easy. The prep time is generally limited to how fast your can opener works and how hard it is to unwrap your meat. The big bonus is that it’s a complete one-pot meal with no chopping, unless you want to.
