Five Easy Dinner Recipes

Hi Reader,

November, with its transition from autumn to winter, can be a bustling month with various events and holiday preparations, making easy meals my dinner of choice.

The days are growing shorter, and the evenings are a bit cozier making it an ideal time to embrace comfort foods. These easy meals will satisfy those cravings. Think hearty soups, simple pasta dishes, and old-fashioned casseroles. Here are my favorites for you this week.


#1 Jiffy Cornbread Casserole

This Jiffy Cornbread Casserole features the hearty flavors of ground beef and onions, the tangy taste of tomato paste, and the comforting texture of cornbread and cheese for a satisfying weeknight meal. What’s best is that it can be ready in just 30 minutes!


#2 Crockpot Beef Stew

I can't wait for fall to make this recipe. This slow-cooker beef stew is rich in flavor. The tender beef is simmered for hours with carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery to create a thick and tasty beef stew for a cold fall evening.


#3 Chicken Divan

This classic chicken divan recipe has a layer of broccoli and chicken topped with a rich and creamy sauce. Serve over steamed rice or baked potatoes.


#4 Skillet Macaroni and Beef Casserole

This skillet macaroni and beef recipe made with tomato sauce is an easy weeknight meal that is done in less than 30 minutes!


#5 Chicken Tetrazzini

Chicken tetrazzini is made with a homemade roux and no canned soup! It's one of my sons' favorites. Keep this recipe for turkey tetrazzini handy for later this month when you have all those turkey leftovers.
