Send us your best entrée that can be completed in a half hour or less, and you could win $500!

To de-stress dinnertime, Country Woman is putting out a call for 30-minute main dishes in our new "Beat the Clock Entrées" contest.

This includes all kinds of entrées that can be completed, start to finish, in a half hour or less. That means recipes made in the oven or microwave, on the grill or stovetop, or using another fast method of preparation. Dishes can be meaty or vegetarian fare—as long as they're quick and delish.

Amaze us with recipes featuring beef, pork or other meats that are on the table in a blink. We'll welcome grilled Porterhouse steak, skillet lasagna, mini barbecue meat loaves and hearty pork and bean chili.

Perhaps you satisfy can't-wait appetites with meatless main dishes that cook up in a jiffy. Pass along your Italian-style frittata, stir-fried tofu with veggies, or spicy black bean burgers topped with jalapeno mayo.

Is poultry your go-to ingredient on busy weeknights? Share sizzling chicken fajitas, pecan turkey salad pitas or pan-fried chicken picatta. Speedy seafood and fish dishes are definitely of interest—from fish tacos with cabbage slaw to broiled scallops to sesame-crusted tuna.

Please share your superb entrées, in short order. We'll announce the winners in the February/March 2012 issue of Country Woman.

You Could Win Cash!
