It’s back-to-school time around the Hill Hangout, and we are getting back into the busy fall routine. Soccer has started, as well as dance and church activities, which doesn’t leave us a whole lot of time to cook elaborate meals during the week. If you’re like me, you can benefit from some new recipes for easy weeknight dinners. I polled my favorite food blogger friends who graciously shared their most popular quick and easy meals with me so that I can pass them on to you.
First up is Chicken Fajita Casserole from my friend Stacey at Southern Bite. If you keep cooked, shredded chicken in the freezer (LIKE I’VE BEEN TELLIN’ Y’ALL!), then you can have this mouth-watering meal on the table in 30 minutes.
My friend Cris at Recipes That Crock brings our first slow cooker recipe – her Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup. Simple ingredients you will love!
One of our family favorites is my Greek Chicken Pot. Throw it all in a bag in the morning, and bake it when you come home in the evening. Super simple and quite healthy!
Another of our family favorites (as in, we have it at least once a week!) is Spicy Drip Beef. You can eat it on a bun as a sandwich, or as an entree with whatever starch and veggies your family loves. We love it cooked in the oven, but you can also use your slow cooker on low for eight hours.
Paula at Call Me PMc has a fantastic Cheesy Chicken Pasta that only requires, drum roll please… ONE POT! Goodness, I do love a one pot meal. Don’t you?
Mmmmm! Leah at Beyer Beware has a fabulous Crock Pot Sloppy Joe recipe. I think the sloppy joe is the unsung hero of the sandwich kingdom.
Stephanie at Plain Chicken is known for her “Cracked Out” recipes, and for good reason. People LOVE them. Here’s her Cracked Out Chicken Tater Tot Casserole.
Donya at A Southern Soul is one of the sweetest food bloggers I know, and you’ll love her Pasta Carbonara!
If you’re a seafood lover like we are, you know that a weeknight seafood dinner is hard to come by. My Crawfish Stew is a super simple dump and cook recipe that our entire family devours.
Why go out for BBQ when you can have it ready when you walk in the door? Melissa at Served Up With Love shows us how with her Crock Pot Pork BBQ!
Another favorite from Served Up With Love is Melissa’s Pizza Casserole. This one is definitely going on my menu soon!
Spice up your weeknight meal with Tamale Pie from Brandy at Aunt Bee’s Recipes. Doesn’t this look heavenly?
One of my favorite dinners is oven roasted chicken with veggies, and this one from Donya at A Southern Soul looks right up our alley!
Have y’all ever used an Instant Pot? I have heard a lot about them, but have never bought one. I might change that since seeing this Cheesy Chili Mac from Mary at Chattavore!
Yum! Take a look at Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken Teriyaki from Christy at Southern Plate!
I hope your fall is off to a good start. I know it’s a busy time of the year for us all. It’s definitely the time of year I lean hard into Jesus and ask Him to order our days. My time with Him is more important to me during the busy seasons than ever if I’m going to keep in step with Him!
Happy cooking, friends!
