Six Tested Recipes from our TakeThemAMeal.com Community MARCH 4, 2015 / ADINA BAILEY / 
Last week, I posed this question to our TakeThemAMeal.com community... "What is your favorite meal to take to a friend?" Many of us cook and have favorite recipes, but not every recipe is easy to transport to a friend. I needed some new ideas and several of you came to the rescue. Initially, I was planning to try all the recipes myself and then share them with you, but I just did not want to wait that long. I could tell that they were tested recipes, perfect for taking, so I'm sharing them with you today. Six Recipes Tested Recipes from our TakeThemAMeal.com Community
Lina's Taco Pie "I have a big family with kids that are all ages and this is hit every single time. I have made this and taken when a new baby arrives and there are other kids because it heats up well and is all in one pan. Anyway, it is called Lina's Taco Pie. I don't know how to do the recipes like others have below because it is basically mine but I would love to share it and hope someone enjoys it. This will feed about 8-10 and reheats great!" ~ Melinda
1 lb lean ground beef Brown meat and drain grease well. Add taco seasoning and follow directions on seasoning packet. Grease 9x13 pan and fill with meat mixture. Cover meat mixture with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, and eggs. Stir and pour over meat mixture. Baked for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes. This recipe travels well, reheats well, and usually makes for happy tummies! I hope someone enjoys this one!
Baked Spasagna "This is our newest go to recipe to share! I like to make it in two 8x8 containers and have one ready to eat and one ready to freeze. Rave reviews!"  Thai Chicken "Along with a ready-to-eat meal, I like to take a a freezer-ready bit of "lagniappe" (Cajun for "something extra!") for later, when it's just a tough day.

Take Out! "I often ask what their favorite take-out is and bring it to them. We have plenty of smaller establishments that have good quality food in my area that allow me to call ahead and pick up when ready. The folks receiving feel like they're getting a special treat and I don't have to stress about cooking if I'm having a crazy week!
