In 30 Minutes This One Skillet Meal Will Be ready to Serve

Don’t you just love it when something comes together perfect? That is exactly how I feel about this super yummy meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes. Really? All you have to do is add a salad and maybe sliced French bread and your family will be amazed that you can create food that is as healthy as it is tasty.

The big key to making family dinners memorable is in using fresh ingredients and not relying on powdered mixes to bring out the flavors of your food. One thing I noticed was that the tastier the food was the more time we ended up sitting at the table and savoring it.

Being able to add in spinach was a great way to get some extra greens in our diet as well as add color. The last time I made this was for one of my high school friends who was in town. She wondered if I wanted to meet for dinner but I suggested I make her dinner instead. We talked and laughed for about 4 hours! Something that would have never happened in a busy restaurant and she insisted on getting the recipe before she left.

This is what Jen has to say about her yummy recipe.

“This flavor bursting chicken is your answer to “what’s for dinner” when you only have time and/or energy for a quick, easy meal that still tastes scrumpdiddlyumptious!”

Quick Tip: This is SOO good you might want to make a double batch if having a larger gathering!

Better than anything you can get in a can

The other day I made a big Dutch Oven full of chili beans and a batch of cornbread muffins. I was afraid I had made too much since there are only three of us at home now. I figured whatever we didn’t eat for dinner and take for lunch I could always freeze. But, it was such a hit that we ended up eating it until it was gone. I have to say, I did end up putting in an extra can of pinto beans because I love having the two kinds.

When I picked up my son Jack from football practice I had a small mason jar of chili, a cornbread muffin, and a spoon. All he had to do was unscrew the lid for a hot meal that he could just enjoy after a long day.

I know when my teenager tells me that the meal was really good, I hit on a winner and this recipe really hit the spot. For our next Football night I am already planning to make another batch of this hearty classic.

You Don’t Have To Be Amish To Eat This Country Casserole

My mom used to make us Hamburger Helper once in a while. It was usually when we had driven up to where my parents were building a cabin. My mom didn’t have her stove or over yet, so being able to brown up hamburger and onion, then dump ingredients out of a box, add water, and cook it in an electric skillet was an great option.

After a while all the meals tasted the same. To be honest as a kid I would have rather had a grilled cheese sandwich. We had a big light where the dining room was going to be. It attracted moths. Remember we were building a cabin so this was in the beginning stages and it was kind of like camping at that point.  The last night we were getting ready to eat the “fresh from the box” dinner and I looked at my fork. My noodle moved. Then I noticed it wasn’t a noodle but a cream covered moth that had flown into the pan unnoticed and must have tried to do a few butterfly strokes to swim out of the sauce.

From that night on I skipped the main course. I think the moth just pushed me over the edge. When I tasted this dish I realized this was the taste Hamburger Helper had tried to copy. This dish is so amazingly good that you won’t mind eating it several nights in a row!

This is what Linda says about her recipe.

“It’s quite a large dish, but so tasty, all of us had second helpings.”

Quick Tip: you can use sausage instead of ground beef or a blend.

When I Made This My Husband Was Afraid He Forgot Our Anniversary

My husband isn’t a huge romantic, but when I make a big bowl of this I am totally speaking his love language! I know that no matter what his day at work was like, as soon as he takes a big bite of this, all his troubles just melt away.

What is it about the classic potato salad that people love? For me it is the taste, texture, and the fact that my mom made this every time we went camping with our grandparents and all our cousins. For my husband I think he just loves the fact that it is made from scratch.

The simplicity of this hearty dish just brings back great memories of summer time and the fact that is literally goes with anything you can put on a grill makes this a super functional side dish is a huge bonus. I always have to make a huge batch because my husband eats this up for snack if there is any left in the fridge. Plus, one of the main ingredients is potatoes, making this as budget friendly as it is tasty!

I know that Russets are the standard and cheapest spud on the market, but our family loves the Yukon gold potatoes. I buy the big bag at Costco because I know they will all get eaten one way or another.

This is what Valerie of Valerie’s Kitchen has to say about this yummy side dish.

This Old Fashioned Potato Salad recipe is my version of the classic American potluck dish. Tender potatoes with a creamy, perfectly seasoned dressing. This fail-proof recipe is one of my old favorites!

Quick Tip: If you are not a fan of sweet pickles, go ahead and swap out relish for dill relish. Seriously. I had no idea that existed until recently when I accidentally picked up a jar!
