It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

Quick tip: Use your favorite pasta noodles and cheese for this dish.

If you have some boneless, skinless chicken breasts that you need to use, and you want to kick it up a notch without too much of a time or labor investment, give this Cajun Chicken & Rice recipe a try. Some recipes from Louisiana and the Deep South can be real labors of love. This one is rather quick and easy, yet it still serves up plenty of good Cajun flavor. It makes for a great weeknight dinner option.

I opted to go without the cheddar cheese (which you add at the end, if using), as I wanted a bit of a cleaner, more spicy dish. If you want the dish to be a bit on the softer and creamier side, or if you just really love cheese, then you will want to include it. It’s a delicious recipe, either way – just a matter of your personal preference.

Quick tip: Go with the mild Ro-Tel unless you want the dish to be REALLY spicy; hot Ro-Tel tomatoes are properly HOT.

It may not be as famous as seafood gumbo or jambalaya, but you can get that great flavor of New Orleans and the Deep South in easy-to-make casserole form, too. This Cajun Shrimp & Cornbread Casserole has all of those great savory tastes with just the right amount of spice for a little kick.

And you will be amazed how quickly you can put this together! It’s hard to beat a casserole for convenience, and I have always loved the cuisine of the Deep South (call it a bit of a bias for “home”).

This recipe combines the two in a nice way that I hadn’t tried, and I was very happy with the results.  If you like cornbread, you really should try this! My family loved it, and now they’re demanding I make it at least once a month!

You’re In For A Delicious Surprise With This Incredible Lasagna!

It may not be traditional, but this Cajun Lasagna may well be the best lasagna that I have ever had!  The five-cheese blend really hits the spot, and a clever choice of meat makes for a nicely balanced flavor that isn’t too grease-heavy.

Every time I look at that photo, it makes me want to bring out my pots and pans to make this immediately! I hadn’t had lasagna in ages when I tried out this recipe, as much as I love it.  Lasagna isn’t exactly known as an easy dish to make.  I am so glad that I took the plunge, though!

This recipe really makes for a cheese-lover’s and pasta-lover’s delight.  You will have to allow for a good chunk of time in the kitchen (it takes about two hours to cook), but if you have that time to spare, I assure you that it is well worth it.
