1. Cabbage & Sausage Skillet Dinner with Rice
A very satisfying combination of flavors for a hearty one-pot meal.
Side dishes
Cornbread goes great with this meal. Grab my homemade cornbread recipe.
2. Crockpot Black Bean Chili Recipe
We trade the kidney beans for black beans in this hearty Crockpot Chili recipe. The flavors simmer in the Slow Cooker for a delicious, easy one-pot meal.
Side Dishes
Serve either Homemade cornbread, this box mix cornbread, or crackers.
3. Easy Chicken and Dumplings
I learned the trick from my Mom. Frozen dumplings are really good! You have to buy the right brand, it’s in the recipe.
No side dish needed for this meal. You have meat and bread in the dumplings. Make a dessert for tonight’s dinner. See the list below.
4. Smothered Stuffed Chicken Breast
These stuffed chicken breasts are restaurant-quality, and you can whip them up in your home kitchen.
Side dishes
Either rice or homemade mashed potatoes and your favorite green vegetable.
5 Crockpot Deep Dish Pizza
Did you know you can cook a homemade pizza in your Crockpot? Yes, you can, and it is an easy recipe.
Side dishes
Serve a small salad on the side, if you need a side dish.
6 Cheez-It Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders
Homemade chicken tenders are always so good. The cheesy coating on these is surprisingly easy. This recipe is a family favorite.
Side dishes
These Homestyle Oven Baked Fries are the perfect side with chicken tenders.
