Microwave Recipes

To make the best microwave recipes, you must know the wattage of your microwave oven. If you're not sure, here's an easy way to find out, according to the University of Tennessee. Fill a glass measuring cup with exactly one cup of lukewarm tap water. Microwave the water, uncovered, on HIGH until water begins to boil. If boiling occurs in less than three minutes, the wattage of your microwave is 600 to 700; three to four minutes, the wattage is 500 to 600; more than four minutes, the oven wattage is less than 500 watts. Most microwave recipes are developed for ovens with more than 600 watts of power. If your oven's wattage is less than that, you will probably need to add more cooking time.

These microwave entree recipes are delicious and easy. Enjoy!

Microwave Recipes

• Microwave Sweet and Sour Meatballs
  I love this quick and easy recipe. Be sure the meatballs are thawed before you start. Because they're quite dense, they take a while to heat up in the microwave. And keep cooking until the sauce thickens.
• Microwave Mexican Cube Steak
  This four ingredient recipe is super easy. The meat is tender and flavorful. Serve it with mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
• Microwave Meatloaf
  This recipe is a variation of My Mom's Meatloaf, a very popular recipe. It's homey and old-fashioned and comforting.
• Microwave Beef Stroganoff
  I love all stroganoff. But when I don't want to wait for my favorite version cooked in the crockpot, this one will do just fine.
• Microwave Salmon with Orange Sauce
  The microwave is a wonderful way to cook fish to perfection. And this orange sauce is the perfect complement to the rich salmon. Yum.
• Microwave Scrambled Eggs
  If your scrambled eggs on the stovetop come out tough or dry, try this super easy method. The eggs are moist and perfectly cooked. Guaranteed.
• Microwave Vegetable Pie
  This crustless quiche is very easy and very delicious. And very good for you too!
• Enchilada Microwave Chicken Pie
  I'm always surprised when this recipe works. But why shouldn't it? A quiche filling can cook quite happily in the microwave, given the right cooking and standing times.
• Microwave Mexican Chili
  This chili has the best flavor; you'd never know that it only took 25 minutes to cook!
• Spinach and Rice Fish Roll-Ups
  I developed a version of this recipe for Pillsbury in the 1980s by combining a filling that was in a stuffed pasta recipe with fish. It's pretty and healthy and tastes great too.
• Spaghetti in the Microwave
  I love cooking spaghetti in unusual ways, especially right in the pot with the sauce. See also Skillet Spaghetti and Completely Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs. But I think this is the easiest way of all!
• Vegetable Chicken Casserole
  This simple and healthy recipe is fun to make. Oh, and the cheese is right there in the ingredient list.
• Pepper Steak
  This fresh and flavorful dish is super easy. Serve it with hot cooked rice for a balanced meal.
• Microwave Sweet and Sour Chicken
  I love anything sweet and sour, but chicken is my favorite. The chicken stays moist and tender when cooked in the microwave oven. The orange marmalade is a special touch.
• Microwave Beef and Veggies
  Frozen vegetables are the secret ingredient in this super fast main dish.
• Microwave Shrimp Scampi
  Well, there's really nothing I can say about this recipe. Except that I'm making it again this week.

  Everyone looks twice when you pull a pie out of the microwave oven. It's so easy, and so good!
