Well what kind of meals are you looking to make exactly? Here's one that my mother gave me when I first started cooking two years ago:
Sloppy Joe Bake:
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
¼ c. ketchup 2 teaspoons mustard
1 c. all-purpose flour 1 ½ tsp. Baking powder
2/3 c. milk 3 tbsp. Margarine or butter, melted
1 egg ketchup, if you like
Directions:
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring a few times, until brown; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, ¼ c. ketchup and the mustard. Spoon into ungreased 8-inch square pan.
Stir flour, baking powder, milk, margarine and egg, using fork, until mixed. Pour over beef mixture, and spread evenly. Squirt or spoon more ketchup in a zigzag design over the top.
It's not anything fancy but I hope this helps. It's really easy to make and it's really good too.
