Absolutely, positively adore this meal. It’s a plates licked clean and baking dish polished out kind of meal at our house. You “could†freeze this after you have assembled it, but we recommend just freezing the filling and then assembling it the day you cook it. (Assembling it on cook day will help keep the … [Read more...]

Skillet Rigatoni and Sausage Recipe
We love skillet meals around the Chase household. They're hearty, filling, and super quick (and mindless!) to prepare on busy weeknights. While many of my favorite skillet meals are made all in the same skillet, this one the pasta is cooked separately and tossed in after the meat-tomato-cream sauce is prepared. This recipe is easy to adapt - you could sub jarred marinara for … [Read more...]
Coconut Lime Chicken Skillet
This chicken was GONE. It flew right out of the skillet, right onto our dinner plates and right into all the bellies! I actually made a double portion of what's below because I knew my boys would love this - because they love curries, and this is basically a tamed down curry with focus on the lime and the coconut, and less on the kick and spice that comes from curry … [Read more...]
Bacon Cheeseburger Tortellini
Here's another one that I'd call another mess of delicious! (In case you missed the Tex Mex Tater Tot Bake from earlier this week, here it is!) This pile of cheeseburger tortellini with bacon on top is going to knock your socks off! There's a hint of vinegar and mustard in the tomato sauce, to give it a touch of ketchup flavor...but it's not the full ketchup flavor...just … [Read more...]
TexMex Tater Tot Bake
This is a mess of delicious, right here y'all!!! It's packed with amazing flavors and could be a one-dish dinner...but we had it with some green beans! It's like a tater tot shepherd's pie. (If that can be a thing.) The ground beefy combo is on the bottom, then the tater tots over the ground beef. Then cheese (gets added at end of cooking!) The end result is a mess … [Read more...]
Eggplant Pasta Skillet
I adore a good pasta skillet meal. They are quick and easy to prepare on a busy weeknight, and tend to end in "polished" plates at our dinner table. Plus, they are filling - which is just what I need for keeping up with the hungry, bottomless pit stomach boys of mine. (If we haven't met yet, I have 4 boys!) If you've not cooked with eggplant before, please pay close … [Read more...]
