1 can roast beef (Costco)
2 beef-cans-full of water
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c brown gravy mix
1 can evaporated milk
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste
egg noodles (maybe 4 cups?)
Just bring to a boil then add noodles & cook on med until done. So easy.
I tried this today and all the kids liked it. Devin & I liked it too but it was too salty. I did not add the milk, except to try it out in a couple individual portions. Devin liked it better with milk, but maybe just because it toned down the salt. I thought it was fine either way but couldn't help thinking it was cheaper without the milk. Devin also thought it was a little heavy on the beef - like we could use just half the can and save the rest for something else. I thought it was ok, but would also be fine with less beef. Next time I'll try adding the milk (and less salt), but I probably won't start with the whole can.
Overall: Success!
Time: 20 mins tops

Stroganoff
original recipe ~ allrecipes.com
I just started asking each person in the family to request one dinner per week. That way I don't have to think about it as much. The first thing Devin requested was stroganoff. Oh Stroganoff, I love you. I'm sorry I never think to make you. Why is that?
1 lb (or less) beef (preferably cubed steak or stew meat, but regular old ground beef will do if necessary)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tsp beef base
2 c water
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 c egg noodles (or whatever)
3/4 c sour cream (or more)
Brown beef in olive oil (or not if it's ground beef - just brown & drain). Add everything but sour cream. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat until noodles are done. Add sour cream and heat through.
The recipe originally calls for only 1/2 c sour cream, but we just kept adding more. I guess if you're trying to be healthier, you could use less.
UPDATE 11/24/15: I made this tonight with leftover steaks that Devin grilled last night. Since the steak was already cooked I set it aside until the noodles were done so it wouldn't be tough. Yay! I would recommend doing that all the time, in fact. Brown it, & keep cooking until you're satisfied with its doneness, then pull it out & hold it until the noodles are done. Usually every time I make this the meat is tough. Also, DOUBLE IT next time! Everybody loves it and we always barely have enough and no leftovers.
