One Dish Meals Cut Back on Mess!
One dish meals became my best friend about four years ago.
Crock pot meals are on the “bestie” list too.
Any kind of warm, hearty meal that takes less “hands-on” time and less clean-up is a usual around our house.
Life is too precious to spend all day in the kitchen — and I could literally spend all day there cleaning and cooking!
So, these one-dish meals give me a break and my family LOVES them.
I can almost guarantee your family will too!
My husband’s grandfather was a man that had to have bread with every meal, even if it was just a slice of sandwich bread.
If your family has to have bread, a dessert, or an extra side to feel like they are getting a “real meal,” then add an easy salad, some store-bought rolls, or even some ice cream for dessert!
Stay flexible and remember what works for some families doesn’t work for all families!
But most American families love cheesy, hearty comfort meals.
That’s what this list is all about!
These are time-saving, lip-smacking meals that you’ll want to add in your weekly rotation.
