I know you didn't ask me but I also grew up on meat and potatoes.

I've recently discovered lentil enchiladas are very tasty. Cook the lentils in vegetable broth, after you have cooked lentils ( pretty good on there own) follow any enchilada recipe and use the lentils instead of meat.

I like to cook the lentils a day before so they are already prepared. The instant pot makes cooking both dried lentils and dried beans quite easy with minimal work.
