You’ve Tried The Soup – Now Make This Scrumptious Casserole!

What, in your opinion, makes a delicious casserole? This is what I’ve been thinking about for the past couple of days, after a talk I had with my husband. He said if it’s supposed to be a dinner casserole, you have to have some kind of meat in it. I didn’t necessarily agree but I do admit I don’t have very many completely vegetarian casserole recipes. How about you?

This is a recipe that you could definitely make without any kind of meat at all, however, this works great when you have some leftover chicken. My whole family loves French onion soup so I bet my husband wouldn’t have any objections if I made this for dinner without the chicken, though!

I found this recipe over at Dirtypaws Blog and it is super yummy and very easy to make. The French onion soup mix gives this a lot of flavor so you won’t need to use additional seasonings, unless you want to.

I LOVE Easy Dinners Like This One!

I bet there are many moms and dads out there who agree with me that weeknight meals should not be too complicated. Am I right? When the days are so busy that you hardly have time to make coffee, it’s not always easy to find time for making dinner. I do love my crock pot and it has been crazy helpful when preparing weeknight meals, but I kind of don’t feel like making slow cooked dinners every single day.

That’s why I’m always super happy to find recipes like this one! There’s no slow cooker involved – yet, it’s extremely easy and quick to put together. On top of it all, you can hide all the leftover chicken in this meal – AND you can make this in one dish! That’s awesome, if you ask me! No extra mess afterwards.

I have tried this recipe a couple of times already and I think it’s perfect just the way it is. However, if you’d like to change things up a little, you can easily get new flavors just by using different kinds of creamed soups, or maybe adding some sausage instead of chicken!

Everyone Is Going For Seconds When You Make This Creamy Casserole!

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for easy, creamy casseroles you can quickly whip up for dinner on a busy day. I have great news for you – you can stop searching! This tuna noodle casserole is not only easy to make; the recipe is also wonderfully versatile and you can get new flavors every time, without a hassle! The ingredients won’t break the bank, but you’ll still get amazing flavors that your whole family will love. Try this once and there’s no going back to your old recipe!

This is one of my favorites for those days when I simply don’t have time to cook. You can get the prep work done in 10-15 minutes, depending on what kind of noodles you are using, and the rest is just waiting for it to be ready.

It’s not like your ordinary tuna noodle casserole, though! What makes this special is the green chilies and the crushed tortilla chips. They give this casserole some nice, Mexican flavor – but you can always omit the chilies and use crushed potato chips instead, if you want a more classic taste.

You Have NO EXCUSE Not To Make This Super Easy And Delicious Recipe!

Whenever I think about tuna casserole, it brings me back to when I was 11 years old. My best friend and I used to have the same taste in food. We both absolutely loved the dish. It was one of our favorite foods, and still is! Once in a while we used to have tuna casserole for lunch in school. In our opinion, it was supposed to be eaten with ketchup, of course. So whenever we had it, we used to ask the school cooks for some ketchup. Sadly, they wouldn’t give it to us. They told us ketchup didn’t belong in this casserole. That’s when we got an idea. The next time we’d have tuna casserole in school, we were going to bring our own ketchup.

Two weeks later we looked at the weekly menu and noticed we were going to have tuna casserole for lunch the next day. We made a deal. My best friend brings the ketchup and I’d watch her back. I mean, we didn’t want the school cooks to notice!

The day came and we had ourselves big portions of the casserole. My best friend took the ketchup bottle out of a plastic bag and we both put some ketchup on our plates. We ate our plates clean and were just about to leave, when the school cook came to us and asked, if we had brought our own ketchup to school. She was very angry and said we were going to have a serious conversation with the principal. We were scared but also confused. Why was it such a big deal?

Quick Tip: You can replace the peas with sweet corn, chopped bell pepper or pineapple for a bit different flavor!

Going to Grandmas house on Sunday was always a treat. Salisbury steak was on the menu at least twice a month. I loved when we got there early enough for me to help her cook it. The smell of the mushrooms and carmelized onion was enough to make your mouth water. This is a simplified casserole version that will knock your socks right off!

For as long as I can remember, tater tot casserole has sort of been my go-to meal. It doesn’t require much prep, and I always keep the ingredients on hand for a last minute meal idea. Some people enjoy eating this casserole with peas, but my family prefers green beans. What do you think yours will like?

Tater tot casserole is a wonderful fall or winter meal because it’s hot and comforting in the old tummy. However, I’ve made this meal plenty of times during the spring and summer because it’s just so darn easy to make. If you haven’t yet tried tater tot casserole, please consider using my recipe to whip up your very first batch. You won’t regret it!

Super Simple Weeknight Meal For The Whole Family!

A couple of weeks ago my neighbor and dear friend, Lilian, called me in the afternoon. She had had a crazy day (you mommies know how it is sometimes) and she was totally exhausted – and she hadn’t even started preparing for dinner yet.

She sounded so desperate, asking me if I had any ideas for a quick meal. She didn’t have the time or the energy to go to the store, but she also didn’t want to get takeout “for the third time this week already!” I told her to just sit back and relax because I had the perfect recipe for her. I also told her in just a couple of years it’ll get easier, when her babies are going to school every day, haha! Anyway, an hour later I showed up at her door, carrying this steaming hot casserole with me. She was so happy she started crying!

This dish is way too good to be low in calories, but it is.  Creamy, cheesy and chock full of veggies, this is one to please them all! The recipe serves about 6-8 people and is made in under an hour.  A rather easy casserole to put together, it also makes for a great lunch the next day.  Not to mention it’s incredibly healthy!
