I Am So Making This For Dinner Tonight!

When it comes to dinner, I am all about making things as simple as possible without forgoing flavor and nutrition.

This cheesy, creamy chicken bake has a little bit of everything in it and it tastes great! You have a layer of Swiss cheese, Ritz crackers, and juicy chicken breasts all in one dish. Talk about a triple whammy of good food! My family really enjoys eating this meal, and I can totally understand why. I think you will be shocked over how simple it is to toss together.

I am not a huge fan of using boxed foods, but I have to say, the crackers in this casserole are really tasty. Plus, it makes making this meal even more simple. There is no hassle and it only takes a few minutes to prepare this. I would definitely call this bake a busy mom’s best friend!

Quick Tip: Feel free to add some shredded cheddar cheese to the mix if you would like.

This Tuna Swiss Melt Casserole is a nice twist on the traditional tuna casserole and makes for a great, quick, and easy midweek meal. I may have been in the minority of people growing up who actually enjoyed tuna casserole. Maybe it’s just my Gulf Coast upbringing, loving everything from the sea. Even I have to admit that the classic recipes like this can get a bit tired after a while, though. Adding Swiss cheese to the mix makes for a nice upgrade, I think.

Swiss cheese is one of those “happy medium” cheeses that has a distinct flavor without being too overpowering, and it actually takes on more depth of flavor when melted.

The result: a really creamy casserole with a topping that nicely complements the natural flavor of the tuna. Just make a side salad, and you have a filling, soothing, well-balanced full meal–with minimal effort.

Quick Tip: For a creamier casserole, add more cheese.

Hi, everyone! I am a huge fan of the Reuben sandwich. How about you all? When I was pregnant with my first baby, I ate so many Reuben sandwiches in a week that I gained 5 pounds! My doctor told me no more Reubens and to stop eating so much salt haha! I couldn’t help it; they were so good!

Now, my kids aren’t necessarily fans of the Reuben sandwich (my oldest probably got her fair share in the womb). However, if I make this Reuben casserole, they instantly gobble it up. It’s the oddest thing! Oh well, as long as they eat it, right? I love this recipe as it tastes just like the sandwich, and I think you’re going to love it too!

Quick Tip: I am always drizzling a bit of Thousand Island dressing on top of my slice of this casserole. It’s great!

Bored of the usual eggs and bacon? Feel like a short-order chef when it should be a ‘lazy’ Sunday? This cheesy breakfast sausage croissant bake is the solution to all your problems. A base of buttery croissants lines the casserole pan, followed by spicy ground Italian sausage for your protein, and then a lovely cheesy egg mixture tops it all off.

Bake this up until golden brown and bubbly and serve it up at your next Sunday brunch or bring it to a friends house for a tasty pot-luck that will be a new favorite! What makes this even better is you can whip it up the night before, refrigerate, and pop it in the oven the next morning for a quick breakfast everyone will devour!

Quick Tip: If you aren’t a fan of Gruyere or Swiss cheese then subsitute for something else, such as cheddar, pepperjack, or American cheese.

There’s nothing better than when you get to combine two meals into one!  A Monte Cristo is basically a french toast, ham and cheese sandwich.  If you have a panini press, or George Foreman grill, all the better!

This recipe makes about 3 sandwiches depending on the type of bread you use.  You can serve it with chips and a pickle, or go for a sweeter side of macerated strawberries.

In case you haven’t guessed, yes we’re talking about French Onion Soup.  A truly simple, yet refined recipe, it’s an easy to bake, easy to make, and easiest to eat!

Gruyere cheese is truly the original for this recipe, but many people prefer a lighter cheese, like mozzarella, which works just as well.  The type of bread, you use, can also vary, but just make sure it is crispy and somewhat firm.

Crispy, cheesy, flaky, and gooey, these sandwiches are to die for!  The sauteed onions add the final flavor for a fabulous fun food.

This recipe takes about 15-20 minutes to make, and you can cut it into whatever size slices you deem fit.  Toast it a little longer, for an even bigger crunchy crisp.
