Quick SOUL FOOD DINNER HAMBURGER STEAK MAC CHEESE GREEN BEANS SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD RICE

Let's make a quick full soul food dinner! I will be showing you a few shortcuts to make this meal easier and quicker. I hope you enjoy these ideas. We are making salisbury steak, mac and cheese, green beans, sweet potato cornbread, and rice.
Green beans
1 lb green beans
1/2 lb smoked meat of choice cut small
1/2 onion
1 tsp chicken bouillon
Creole seasoning to taste
adjust creole seasoning and bouillon after cooking

Mac and cheese
8 oz noodles
24 oz alfredo sauce
16 oz cheeses of choice, a mix of cheddar and mozzarella Is good.
3 tbsp sour cream
Vegeta- to taste
pepper- to taste
1/2 packet sazon tropical
paprika
egg, optional
Note: This can be done on the stove top to be even faster; just heat everything until the cheese melts ( no egg). Also, shredding or pre-shreded cheese is fine. i didnt feel like shredding it, but it will make the mac and cheese creamier if you shred it.

Sweet Potato Cornbread
2 cups cornbread mix
1 cup roasted sweet potato or mashed left over candied yams
1/2 cup brown sugar or up to 1 cup for sweet cornbread
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 stick salted butter
1/4 tsp salt
this cornbread is not very sweet even with the brown sugar. This pairs well with a savory meal or chili. But if you really don't like any sugar at all leave it out or just do 1/4 cup.

Hamburger Steak
1 1/4 lb ground beef
onion powder
garlic powder
Magic Meat Seasoning to taste
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tsp worstichire sauce
1 tsp beef bouillon

Note: If you dont have Meat Magic seasoning then use garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano to taste. Sorry no measurements for spices I was just eyeballing it.

Gravy
1/2 onion
1 packet beefy onion soup mix
garlic powder ( optional)
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 tbsp flour
water
salt/pepper to taste
