Creamy Chicken Pot Pie You can’t get more “comfort” food than this. Great dish to use up leftovers–especially with the coming Holiday season. There aren’t too many people who don’t like chicken pot pie, and unlike the frozen, homemade tastes better and is pretty easy too! This is the perfect weeknight meal on cold late-fall…

Smoky Beef Mac & Cheese
Smoky Beef Mac & Cheese Chipolte peppers make this smoky beef mac and cheese flavorful. I’m a sucker for chipoltes and anything it’s in. I forget where I heard about using them in macaroni and cheese now, but I always thought it was a good idea. Rather than make a meatless mac & cheese,…
Biscuits & Sausage Gravy Pot Pie
Biscuit & Sausage Gravy Pot Pie An old-time favorite in casserole form. Not unhealthy if made with reduced-fat ingredients. I have always loved this dish.

Classic Pot Roast
Classic Pot Roast Who doesn’t love pot roast? An American favorite! How easy can this get? Mix a few ingredients, pop it in the slow cooker and dinner is ready about 8 hours later! What I generally do when I make a pot roast is do it the day before, then refrigerate. Not only does…

Bacon Cheese Pull-Aparts (BONUS POST)
Bacon Cheese Pull Aparts Bacon, cheese and flaky biscuits. Is there a better snack or appetizer? I’d bought a couple of rolls of Grand’s biscuits a few weeks ago, and almost had forgotten about them! I wanted to use them since accidents happen in my fridge and I didn’t feel like cleaning out gloppy biscuit…
