Easy. This recipe is astoundingly EASY to make. If you can turn the dial on your slow cooker, you can make this delicious meal. Have you ever heard the term “dump it” when it comes to cooking? Well, that’s all you have to do when throwing together this evening meal idea. Dump three ingredients into the pot, set it, and forget it!

Ranch pork chops are seriously the pigs squeal, folks. It’s simple to make, and it tastes like a dream come true. Whenever I make this pot full of awesome, my family just about loses their minds with excitement. In fact, I can always expect a few neighborhood kids over for dinner on ranch porkchop night. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing haha!

This Chicken & Rice Casserole is versatile, hearty comfort food, great for family meals or potlucks. Baking time is about 45 minutes, with another 20-25 minutes needed for prep.

Mother often made a basic rice casserole as a side dish for her dinners, and simple though it was, it was tasty enough that I often asked for seconds. As it turns out, if you throw in some chicken and cheese into the mix, you have a rather savory and filling one-pan meal. Yum!

This Slow-Cooker Beef Stroganoff may have a fancy name, but it is surprisingly simple to make. It has only six ingredients (including the water!), requires just two simple steps to cook, and gives you creamy, savory gourmet flavor with all of the easy convenience of a slow-cooked meal.

Beef stroganoff was another one of Mother’s classic go-to meals. It really was good for all seasons. It was a great, hearty supper, and the leftovers warmed up well for a tasty lunch the next day. It is nice and filling, and it has a good creamy, savory flavor. Of course, Mother always insisted on cooking everything traditionally, on the stove, but the Crock-Pot version makes this popular Russian dish much more accessible to the person on the go without sacrificing that classic gourmet flavor. I tried it recently, and I was very pleased with the results.

Get Rid Of The Weeknight Blues With This Taste Bud Tantalizing Casserole

This simple but tasty Chicken Spaghetti Casserole is a delicious Southern classic–comfort food at its finest. This slice of the South is great for an easy but filling meal with the family but also a great go-to for your next potluck.

Would it be wrong to call this “soul food”?  It certainly is soul food for me.  In any event, it is delicious comfort food! Grandmother didn’t do much in the way of fancy cooking (Mother was more the experimenter and culinary explorer), but she did a number of classic Southern recipes very well; chicken spaghetti casserole was one of them. I remember eating this many times when I was little, visiting her home in the quaint Southern town of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, and rare was the occasion when I didn’t ask for seconds. (It is a mother’s job to protect and set down the rules and a grandmother’s job to indulge, am I right?)

I had wandered on to other cooking adventures and lost this recipe for a long time, unfortunately, but thanks to The Pioneer Woman‘s Ree Drummond and The Food Network, I was able to bring it to my dinner table again. Color me very grateful.
