At any rate, I do think that because there is little prep time for these recipes, you can make them in less than 20 minutes. Using frozen vegetables, prepared meats, mixes, and sauces can cut preparation time to about five minutes.
Be sure to read through the recipe and make sure you have all the ingredients (or good substitutes) on hand. And if you aren't experienced in the kitchen, don't rush! Just enjoy the process. You may not be ready to eat in 20 minutes, but you are still putting an excellent meal on the table with little effort. Enjoy.
