Some dinners earn a permanent spot in the rotation, and this chicken broccoli rice casserole is one of them in my kitchen. Chicken, rice, and broccoli all come together in one creamy, cheesy dish with a buttery cracker topping on top. It takes a little more hands-on time than a true dump-and-bake recipe, but nothing … Read more
Some nights call for a dinner that doesn’t need babysitting. This angel chicken rice casserole is one of those. Chicken, rice, and a creamy sauce all bake together in one dish, so you’re not juggling a pot of rice on the stove while also trying to get a protein cooked through. Everything finishes at the … Read more
Some nights I look at the clock, look at the fridge, and just want one pot to handle dinner from start to finish. This is one of those meals. It’s creamy, it’s got a little kick from the chipotle, and it comes together while everything else in the kitchen stays pretty much untouched. If you’ve … Read more
Some nights call for something that feels like it’s been simmering on the stove all afternoon, even when it hasn’t. This is one of those dinners. It layers everything I love about a classic meatloaf dinner — the meat, the potatoes, a little cheese on top into one dish instead of three. I started making … Read more
There’s something about a rainy afternoon that makes me want to get a casserole going early and just let the oven do the work. This cheesy chicken and rice casserole is one of those set-it-and-mostly-forget-it dinners. The rice cooks right in the dish along with the chicken, so there’s no separate pot to babysit on … Read more
Some nights call for something rich and comforting that doesn’t take much thought to pull together. This is one of those dinners. Chicken breasts get seared until golden, then finished in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce that comes together right in the same pan. It’s the kind of meal that feels a little indulgent even … Read more
There’s a particular kind of evening where the fridge has odds and ends, the pasta pot is already out from lunch, and nobody wants to hear “what’s for dinner” one more time. This smoky BBQ chicken and cheddar pasta bake is what I reach for on those nights. It uses shredded chicken, a good BBQ … Read more
It’s one of those evenings where the weather outside makes the idea of a big bowl of noodles under a creamy sauce sound about as good as dinner gets. This beef stroganoff is what I reach for on nights like that. Strips of steak, a heap of mushrooms, and a sauce that gets its richness … Read more
This isn’t a weeknight recipe, and I’ll say that upfront. Beef bourguignon is the kind of thing I make on a weekend when there’s nothing pressing and I actually want to spend a little time in the kitchen. The beef marinates overnight, then simmers low and slow the next day until it falls apart with … Read more
Creamy Garlic Pesto Chicken is the kind of dinner that saves a Tuesday night. You know the nights I mean, when the laundry’s still in the dryer, the kids are asking what’s for dinner before you’ve even taken your coat off, and the last thing you want to do is dirty five pans. I started … Read more
