I am planning on making a chicken pot pie, making the sauce from a white sauce and using peas, carrots and green beans (as well as chicken of course!) in the filling -- biscuits on top.

I will use the ground beef to make Sloppy Joe sliders, using up the BBQ sauce. I will grind up some carrots for crunch and use the Hawaiian rolls as buns.

I will make tuna melts from the tuna, crescent rolls and mayo, using some cheese from DS' house.

I feel like I could do something with the taco filling, though I only have about a cup and half. I'm wondering if I mixed it with salsa and taco sauce, to make it wetter, and combine it with the penne or the egg noodles to make kind of a Mexican pasta dish -- would that taste good or weird?

Does anything else jump out at you?

    I am making taco pasta in my instant pot. Maybe you could do that? I've seen a bunch of recipes online.

    Does their house have some beans to add to the taco filling to stretch it?. Or add it to marinara sauce to make spaghetti?

    Perhaps an egg casserole with some of the eggs, vegetables, cheese, and bread? You put it in the fridge overnight and then bake off. Or, use the crescent rolls and put vegetables, cheese, and eggs over them and bake about 30 minutes at 350.

    Good idea, Debbie! My grandsons won't eat omelets so I'm not sure if they would eat an egg casserole, but I might try it as a last resort!
