This Dorito Taco Bake recipe looks very festive and has plenty of lively flavor. It’s also a very quick recipe; the prep and baking shouldn’t take you more than an hour. I have to say, a recipe like this is about as family-friendly as it gets. It’s also a rather versatile recipe, with plenty of possible substitutions and optional extras. I have to admit, it may not be the healthiest recipe in the world (at least not as-is), but the kids will love it, and I imagine that you will find a lot to enjoy about it as well (particularly on one of those busy midweek nights).

If you want to lighten this recipe up a bit, you can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef or go with low-fat cheese and sour cream. You can also add a layer of refried beans, if you like, or go with tortilla chips instead of Doritos for a bit of a lighter flavor. If you want to experiment with the texture of the dish a bit, you can try baking the crescent rolls for a few minutes before putting the other ingredients in there or hold off on adding the chips until the last 10 minutes of baking.

If you want a meal that is quick, easy to make, and a bit, well, out of the ordinary, Asian dishes are the way to go. This Chicken Chow Mein recipe is a lot easier to put together than you might think, and it works nicely as a side dish, a main course, or even a full meal, depending on your needs. And as with most any stir fry dishes, this chow mein is a rather versatile recipe. If you have some extra veggies you need to use, or you just like to tweak things to your tastes or experiment a bit, most anything goes. The recipe is really yummy as-is, though, and I certainly would make it again.

Traditionally, stir fry recipes such as this are made in a wok, though any large skillet will do if you don’t have a wok available. You will work with the same basic formula, whether you use this exact ingredient list or tweak things a bit; it’s a matter of making a bunch of things separately and then combining them into one big dish at the end.

If you want something with a little Mexican or Tex-Mex flavor that is tasty but a bit outside the usual options, this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a good choice. It’s also really easy to put together.

Is this “traditional”? Well, no, I don’t think you can call it that, but I do like the flavor, and sometimes, you have to be a bit creative and go in a non-traditional direction to keep things interesting and get out of a food rut. And I know that some traditionalists may frown a bit on the “dash of this, can of that” style of cooking, but it is a quick and easy way to mix things up a bit and make a hearty meal. Suffice it to say that I will be breaking out my Crock-Pot for this again.

Quick tip: Use rotisserie chicken to make this even faster!

When you want to put together a hearty, filling breakfast, it is hard to go wrong with some form of sausage, eggs, and bacon!  The Foodie Couple’s Breakfast Hash nicely combines all three with ample servings of herbs, potatoes, and tomatoes to yield a filling, well-balanced, low-hassle meal that starts your day right.

One of the great things about this recipe, is that it uses leftover potatoes. I hate throwing food away, it’s such a waste and I always try and do what’s best for the environment. Besides – in my opinion, potatoes only get better when they’re being fried afterwards! This yummy dish is one of my husband’s favorite breakfasts. I can’t imagine a week without making this at least once!
