There's usually tiny metal clasps on the ground meat packaging. Metal in the microwave could be flipping the breaker if you werent aware it was there.

[@shika1129]

You are so much appreciated and we love you so much

[@kandylish]

You did an absolutely fabulous job with the foods you already had on hand! So impressive. Please continue to share more of these styles of videos…I loved this and hope you continue to make more of theses videos in the future! Loved this style of video and it was so creative ❤

[@tammifields4142]

Agree 💯

[@SolemSister87]

Loved that Connor has interest in cooking..🎉🎉

[@RD1341-x7w]

Take your rice krispie bars up a notch with a big scoop of peanut butter added to the marshmallows! Yum.

Ken, Nice Job on making your daughter’s sleepover fun and introducing them to other flavors.

[@poketographyyy]

"There she goesssss, there she goes again..." ~🎶 Love the creativity as always! Thank you for shariing and showing us how to stretch the budget without shopping!

[@mtvaryanas]

Great video Jen! I have been watching your channel for years now and even though I am vegan, I still absolutely love your cooking videos and watch every single one 😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

I’m glad you can still get some inspiration from them!

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Such great ideas! Love that Connor was helping you! 🩵

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Love these kinds of videos. I think it speaks to having a well stocked pantry as far as basics, like spices, bullion, rice. You can really stretch and repurpose leftovers and create quality meals, helps so much with the budget!

[@danaa6283]

Love that you are posting so much! Your videos are amazing:)

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@debiwillis9045]

I never drain my beans for chili, it adds lots of flavor and you can easily adjust salt

[@iriegirl5517]

Wow Jennifer 🤩 everything looked amazing!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@liteicedcoffee]

We always have more meals on hand than we think we do. Love your Red Hot Chili Peppers sweatshirt and your instant pot chili looked good too. Chili ftw

[@katiem7850]

Another great video Jen! Have a great weekend😊

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

I like this type of video. I'm making tater tot casserole tonight. Great job on nit going to the store. I'm going to try that banana cake ooo that delicious frosting.

[@tammifields4142]

Yummy 😋 dinner ideas Jen.... Thanks for sharing! 😀

[@nikkibrown6460]

The frozen biscuits are so good!

[@SolemSister87]

Love this Jennifer.. thank you!❤❤

[@danamama6766]

I did make the ravioli casserole as I said it was first on my list from the 5 easy casseroles and my gosh it went over crazy today. There were three extra boys, well 21 to 23 year olds, at the house and it is pretty much is gone. And they all said thank you and told me how much they really like it...yes no kidding its almost gone. But that makes me happy :) It's a keeper. You made me smile so hard with it's Tuesday been a long week so far. Yes it's only Tuesday. Haaaaa I so live that to. I do love breakfast for dinner. yum. I also go to Betty Crocker website often for things. The recipes are 99 percent of the time no fail. hugs

[@Jen-Chapin]

I am SO happy to hear that! Sometimes you just need a good, cheesy casserole.

[@lindacsmith13]

It's so satisfying using up your pantry items. Everything looked quite tasty.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Right?! It’s a great feeling to get creative with what you have!

[@sarabesson6790]

Thanks for sharing some great dinner ideas!! Also, wishing Conner good luck if his feet grow anymore, size 13 is pretty much the largest size stores carry… my husband wears a 15 and we have to order everything online… 😮😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yeah Adam wears a 15 also haha!

[@sonjagynn7936]

Jen, I get so excited when I see a new video posted. This video was a helpful reminder to look in your fridge, freezer and pantry to come up with meals. Deferring going to the grocery store will always save you money.

[@biggyrat1313]

Great ideas! I am trying to use up freezer and pantry items, too!

[@donnaandrews7954]

Great video as always. You used a whisk I don't see linked. It moved up and down while spinning?

[@Jen-Chapin]

I got that in the store at Walmart during Christmas

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

YAY, a new Jen video before bed.

[@shellyturner2766]

Well done! You reminded me of a couple more items in my pantry and freezer.

[@thebalancedbiteregina]

Oh I am so excited to see the dumpling lunch with the rolled egg omelette!! Definitely giving this a try

[@katiewilliams9537]

I have some pie crusts in my freezer, I might use the ground beef, soup, and veggie mixture to make a savory pie. A “lidless” pot pie. 😊

[@matabrandy1]

Great recipes I also line my tots up too

[@ellieeveritt]

Metal rings on the ends of the tube of meat is probably messing with your microwave

[@debiwillis9045]

I love biscuits and gravy...its a must that the gravy is made in the same pan the sausage was cooked in...flavor baby!!!

[@barbarajohnson83]

Hi Jen, that same thing happened to me with the ip making Chili. I had to do what you did. From now on I make my Chili in the Crock Pot. Thanks again.❤️

[@vbroadwater3745]

I like some veggies in my chili. I know it might sound crazy but I like it.

[@Lynzi3]

My chili is full of onions, peppers and corn haha. I love it, and I figure some extra veggies aren't going to hurt anyone!

[@vbroadwater3745]

@@Lynzi3 oh yeah, I love corn in my chili! Sometimes I like half chili and half vegetable soup!

[@Sterling8953]

The best part of cooking is making food the way you like it. I add large chunks of peppers onions and diced sweet potatoes to mine.

[@joiviolette]

Jen, I made your tator tot recipe last night for dinner! It was a hit! I do a bfast cassarole with tator tots on the bottom pretty often. It's an easy go too for bfast. Thanks for the ideas!❤🎉

[@jojoonsrud4519]

Hi jen thank you for showing great ideas. I always have breakfast slumps. Never know what to cook for breakfast. I miss tater tot casserole. I need to make that. I was trying to find the chicken kind. Can't find it. Any ideas. Thanks.

[@janetdwyer1867]

Love the video.i just started doing the same use what here the teenagers need to eat it before I shop

[@Itsjustme.7059-n8u]

Is the Marinara from Great Value sweet? I want to make lasagna but I don’t like sweet sauce in lasagna.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Maybe a bit? I think it compares to Prego

[@Itsjustme.7059-n8u]

@ thanks for letting me know. My mom used to make a sauce when I was a kid that I just absolutely loved. She doesn’t remember what she put in it though.

[@lindseyschuff9552]

Those frozen biscuits are 11/10!

[@GardeningWarrior]

I love those frozen biscuits and use them to make our breakfast sandwiches

[@venusgal2706]

I always do my bacon in the oven. then I keep some of it in the frig and some of the cooked bacon in the freezer. Another trick? I am frying myself an over easy egg for breakfast, I just grab a piece of bacon from the frig and throw it in the pan. On the side of the egg. I end up with what seems like hot fresh bacon and a fried egg and toast...So easy. And you get a bit of bacon flavor to the egg as well. Just a win all of the way around....

[@robino941]

I need to make some pantry meals too. Great job being creative! 💙

[@1972Wgray]

How was Dave’s cornbread? 😀

[@stephged67]

Banana bars are like crack to me. Great video.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Same here!

[@kristenrpeters]

I’ve been trying to cook more like this! I’ve actually come up with some pretty good meals…. Like eggs Benedict on homemade bread 😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yummmmm

[@Itsjustme.7059-n8u]

I want to try the tater tot casserole. It looks good.

[@lynnnovick889]

Great job, just can’t get behind the cottage cheese. So many tubers use it.

[@Jen-Chapin]

It’s how my mom made lasagna growing up :)

[@leahwhite3403]

Tots! Line up! 😅

[@hola6164]

How many folks have piles of food like this? To do? 😅

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

Why doesn’t Kiera like lasagna?? Noodles and sauce is just noodles with sauce. Sounds like my son and his weird tastes. He is getting better as he gets older, thankfully. I have to make 2 different meals sometimes too.

[@debiwillis9045]

Im not a fan of lasagne at 66

[@Jen-Chapin]

She’s weird about cheese.

[@amyschmelzer6445]

It’s hard to please everyone with lasagna. My 18 yo doesn’t like ricotta cheese or bechamel sauce. My husband doesn’t like cottage cheese. I don’t like a meat heavy lasagna so I either add a cheese filling layer or bechamel instead of all meat sauce. I don’t make lasagna often and they just have to deal with what I put in it when I do. My MIL makes hers without the cheese because that’s what my FIL likes.

[@katiewilliams9537]

❤ first! 🎉

[@deannaLbeasley]

Cut the metal off your rolls of meat. I forgot one day. Caught my microwave on fire.

[@barbarajohnson83]

Great video Jen. I have been doing the same, eating what I have on hand. After so much cooking, I was really burned out. Have a great rest of your weekend.

[@venusgal2706]

I don't think I will ever get the Instapot. I mean every single thing I see in it I can make on the stovetop no problem. I just don't think even if I had one I'd ever bother. i will say I do similar and just wing my chili. I never measure... I don't have to worry about a max fill line on my stovetop lol. And I can watch and see my chili while I do other things. Lol at least you make your chil with close to the right ingredients, or I could adapt to if I had to versus another woman I watch who uses tomato soup and ketchup (NO!) and macaroni. That is not chili or even close to it! I don't advise anyone, none of us should, we should always know better but I do suggest on occasion. You love being in the kitchen I think and serving your family but do you not also want your kids/family self sufficient. I mean can't they open a can of soup, make a sandiwch, make their own ramen??

[@Jen-Chapin]

They definitely can :) I’m not always home because I travel so much for work, cooking for them is my love language kind of! I love to do it for them when I’m here.

[@debiwillis9045]

I think its great for families that work fulltime and have kids activities, not for me in my season of life.

[@debiwillis9045]

​@cooking is my love language too!Jen-Chapin

[@debiwillis9045]

You are SO RUDE!
