According to the 2008 New American Diner Study, 80% of Americans make weekday dining decisions based primarily on convenience.  I was surprised at that number – really expected it to be more along the lines of 99%!  I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but I could swear that there are now only four hours in a day…what happened to the other 20?!

Embrace Dinner with Robin Miller

As part of my quest to be less mealtime LAST-minute, I’ve tried a myriad of different recipes, and the next on my list is from Robin Miller’s Mealtime Minute with Tyson…Brisket Quesadillas with Creamy Salsa Dip.  They’re intended as an appetizer using Tyson’s Braised Beef Brisket with Mild Chili Sauce, but if served with a bowl of pinto beans or a side of Spanish rice, this should actually be a faster and less expensive dinner than a last-minute call to On The Border.  Best of all, these quesadillas require no expertise beyond combining ingredients and heating in a pan!

What do you think?  Looks pretty good, right?  And Robin Miller only took about a minute to explain it, so it already seems like a ”Quick Fix“!  Robin has published six other quick recipes using Tyson’s Fully Cooked Heat ‘N Eat Dinner Meats, so if you’re not in the mood for Tex-Mex, there are alternatives!  Each recipe requires one dinner meat and serves a family of four.

Alright, I don’t like to cook alone, so if you’d like to join me on my latest attempt at a tasty quick dinner, enter to win a set of four free product coupons (valued at up to $6.99 each and valid through 02/01/10) for Tyson’s Fully Cooked Heat ‘N Eat Dinner Meats (available in your grocer’s refrigerated meat department).
