Here's a delicious one-dish meal from Colleen McMahon that you can put together in 20 minutes, including waiting for the water to boil. She came up with it on a "pantry day,” one of those times she just used what she had on hand. It's easily doubled or tripled for a crowd, and if they're extra-hungry, offer shredded Mexican-mix cheese and sour cream.

Hands on time:   Total time: 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    12 cheddar-potato frozen pirogies (Mrs. T's)
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 onion, cut into rings
    1 (14.5-ounce) can black beans, drained
    1 (14.5-ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, with their juice

Instructions:

Bring a pot of water to a boil and place frozen pirogies into it. Cook at a gentle boil for about 5 minutes to thaw.
Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with cooking spray and saute green pepper and onions until tender. Add black beans and Ro-Tel tomatoes and heat through.
Place 3 pirogies each in 4 serving bowls, and top with black bean-tomato sauce.
