Need a Quick Meal? Make this And Everyone Will Beg For Seconds!

I know it is tempting to just grab a pizza from a quick pizza place that only makes pizza to go. Every once in a while that is fine to grab something hot. But how nutritious is it? I mean we are talking a lot of bread with minimal amount of anything else. So when you feel stuck on a weeknight, hurry home and whip this up.

I love that by the time you get the table set and everyone washed up dinner is hot and ready to put on the table. And even better is the fact that the clean-up is only one pot!

Not sure what to do about left overs? Really..that was a trick question because most likely there won’t be any! And if there are they will be great to take for lunch the next day.

Not long ago I made homemade Mac and Cheese for a family I cook for. When left overs of Mac and Cheese were taken into the office to heat up for lunch someone noticed and went home that night and made a homemade mac and cheese as well. Homemade food that is created from scratch is worth the effort. And the great part about this recipe is that chances are you already have most of these ingredients at home.

This is what Chelsea of Chelsea’s Messy Apron has to say about this one pot dinner.

This dish = cheesy perfection. Because, as you can see, there is no skimping on the cheese in this taco pasta!

Quick Tip:  Do you want to make this ever quicker? Go ahead and cook up meat ahead.

Who doesn’t love a great taco? But, heating up the house by turning on the oven during the hot summer months? Yeah, not so much.

It is great that this recipe can be made on the stove or better yet, in a crock pot!

We just went to a huge family reunion with dozens of cousins and I wished I had found this recipe earlier. It would have been so simple to put the chicken in and let people build their own tacos, burritos, or even just a really yummy salad.

Seriously, if you have all the ingredients out, let guests make up their own plate with their favorite ingredients, and it can be ready to put out as soon as you are ready to eat so no big fuss around meal time!

It is hard to feed a crowd and with recipes that are super functional like this one you are sure to please everyone. In fact, if you have left over chicken, save it and make a pan of chicken enchiladas later!

This recipe calls for chicken breast, but if you are partial to boneless skinless thighs go ahead and use them as well.

Here is what Abeer of Cake Whiz has to say about her delicious recipe.

 

I am responsible for making these Mexican SHREDDED chicken tacos that I have been making for years. These EASY shredded chicken tacos with taco seasoning are DELICIOUS and my guests always comes back for second and third helpings.

Quick Tip: If you are pinched for time, go ahead and make the chicken up ahead of time and reheat before serving. In fact, you can easily freeze for later.

What happens when Mexican Cuisine and Italian Food Collide? You found it right here.

I love Both Mexican and Italian food. Seriously, I can’t really pick one over the other, so when I saw that this recipe was a mix of both..Well, let’s just say I was over the moon thrilled!

Plus, I am such a huge advocate of time saving tricks in the kitchen. Being able to cook up a large package of hamburger and use it for several meals is such a huge plus. When ever I buy lasagna noodles there are extra..now I can plan to make this dish as well!

Because we are getting smaller in number as the older kids move out, I am having to adjust my cooking style. Seriously I used to make TWO 9 x 13 pans of  whatever we were having for dinner.

Now with only 3 of us left at home, I need to be a bit more strategic. Being able to make dinner and freeze half really cuts down on the work and it is great for being able to take left-overs for lunch.

This is what Jo of Jo Cooks has to say about her recipe.

I may be biased here, but I’d say this was probably my favorite lasagna ever. And I did not slave over it for an entire day! Only took me a few minutes to make the sauce and half an hour in the oven. Did I mention I didn’t boil the noodles? Yeah, this lasagna will fool everyone into thinking you slaved all day in the kitchen, and let them think that!

Quick Tip: If you don’t have a can of  taco skillet sauce.. I don’t even know what that is! Go ahead and add a package of taco seasoning to the meat sauce.
