If you are looking for something low-hassle to put together for a midweek dinner, this Easy Pizza Casserole is a good option. It’s simple to put together and bakes in under half an hour. It’s also easily expanded, if you want to use it for something like a large potluck. It doesn’t get much easier than seven ingredients and a sub-half-hour bake time. If your family likes pizza, they’ll enjoy this casserole.  As-is, it makes six to eight servings.

Of course, if you need more than that, you can readily double, likely even triple, the recipe without too much trouble. It also happens to be rather versatile. You could make this twice a week with small alterations, and it’ll be like a whole new dish!

This Sausage & Penne Pasta recipe brings the flavor with little hassle and only modest time investment. Just 3 steps and about 50 minutes yields a hearty meal. It’s great for any family meal but would also do nicely at potlucks.

One has to admire the versatility of pasta and sausage. For items that are so easy to use, they certainly do mix well with plenty of things. And with a little cheese to bind everything together, they do combine well with each other, particularly in casseroles.

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!

How To Make A True Italian Meal For The Whole Family

Those classic tastes of Italy really put you at ease, and the recipes usually make for plenty of leftovers!  This Spaghetti Casserole is no different.  You can have dinner for 16 ready in under an hour and a half with this recipe.

It’s a great idea for potlucks or for baking half and freezing the rest for later. Or if you’re just planning on having one of those huge family dinners, the Italian way! Italian food is great for sharing, and so is a good casserole. This brings both together for a veritable sharing paradise!  Considering how many people you can feed with this recipe, and how good it tastes, you don’t have to expend a massive amount of time or effort putting this dish together, either.

This is one of the dishes everyone always expects me to bring to our family reunions! One year I showed up with a different casserole – and even though no-one said anything, I could tell they really wanted me to bring this one instead!

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.
