Comfort food comes in many forms and our Classic Lasagna is one of the most desired forms with only seven ingredients.
Our Crockpot Three Cheese Stuffed Manicotti is melt in your mouth delicious and would you believe there are only seven ingredients!
Crockpot Three Cheese Manicotti
A simple recipe for a delicious weeknight entree. Mushrooms optional. Pairs well with our Made From Scratch Mashed Potatoes or a Baked Potato.
Simple Chopped Steak with Mushroom Gravy
No salt added and no butter in my recipe. Don’t be intimated by making meatballs. This recipe only has eight ingredients. I always save a few meatballs to make Meatball Sub Sandwiches the next day.
Baked Spaghetti is simply extra delicious. We added meatballs along with the ground beef to kick this dish up a notch. It’s a one dish dinner delight! If you want to make it extra special serve this Italian Butter along with some Italian Bread as a side.
Two Meat & Two Cheese Baked Spaghetti
This Meat & Potato recipe is very versatile. You can jazz it up of make it plain. You will want to keep this recipe in your arsenal of one dish dinners!
Jazzed Up Meat & Potato Casserole
Baked Beans are traditionally a side dish but you could make a meal out of these! My family has been making this recipe for more than forty years now and into our third generation. Keep this recipe. It’s a good one to take to pot lucks if you want to impress everyone.
My hubby grew up with Pimento Cheese Sandwiches as a side with Chili probably because he was one of three boys and you know how boys can eat! Consequently he developed his own Pimento Cheese Spread recipe. We like our chili with black beans but you can exchange for red beans if you like.
Vegetable Soup is typically a winter time meal but if we get rainy days in the summer I will make this as a treat we all love. It’s a good hearty stick-to-the-ribs meal.
Only seven ingredients in this Crockpot recipe. It is sort of a dump soup with four cans as part of the ingredients. We always serve Tortilla Chips with our Taco Soup. If you have chips leftover make our Easy Guacamole recipe to dip them in.
My Burrito recipe is part of a 3 Meals From One Pot of Beans menu. If you are pinching pennies, dried beans will not only stretch the grocery budget but they are delicious when cooked right too.
Ground Beef recipes are always great to hang onto for managing your grocery budget. We often use Ground Turkey instead because we think we are saving ourselves a little fat content. Both will provide delicious weeknight meal ideas while stretching the meat budget.

I love the thought of using homemade beans. It reminds me of my Mom, they are so darn good.
I am a fussy eater when it comes to meet, I won’t eat steak, roast beef, roast pork, lol…..but I love hamburger because you can do so many different things with it. Thank you for all these new ideas.
Cooking with ground beef is one of my favorites for dinner. The meatloaf looks so good!
