Choose one ingredient from each column and combine them in a large skillet with a tight cover. This is a great way to use leftover meats and vegetables.
Â
Bring the ingredients to a boil in a large skillet, then stir well, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until pasta or rice is tender and meat and vegetables are thoroughly heated. Sprinkle cheese over skillet just before serving. You can begin each skillet meal by sautéing some onion and garlic in a bit of oil, then adding the remaining ingredients and simmering until done.
