I really like the Velveeta casserole/skillet meals. They are simple and quick, just have to brown your ground beef or chicken first- my go to one is the Chicken & Broccoli with orzo. I add in frozen mixed veggies instead of the packet that they call broccoli lol. Zataran's jambalaya mix is another good one. You can use sausage, chicken, or shrimp for your meat and it all cooks in one skillet.

Those are some of mine that are on the frequent meal list.

ETA: do you Pinterest? Because there are a ton of good one pot and easy recipes on there! Other ones that I want to try (haven't gotten around to it) are crockpot meals that you can spend one day putting a month's worth together for the freezer. Then just pull one out, put in the slow cooker, and when you get home it's done!

Cheesy Chicken Casserole

1 can Cream of Chicken soup
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups brown rice
around 3 cups of water (that's the only thing I can't quite remember off of memory here)
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice. I use cheddar
You can also add onions in here. I use onion powder for flavor because my silly husband won't eat onions.

Throw all of that into a 9x13 baking dish and mix it together.

Then lay chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice. I use Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy

Cook at 350* for about 50 minutes

Super, super easy and so tasty!

There is one that I learned from Pinterest where you just have 2 chicken breasts, a can of green beans and a few potatoes. You put them all next to each other in a pan, put some butter on potatoes and green beans, then put dry italian seasoning over all of it. Stick it in the oven for like an hour (can't remember exact time off the top of my head), then it's done! Very easy and very good!

There's also one with shrimp but I can't remember it exactly.

How cool that I see this today after experiencing my very first "Tastefully Simple" party last night! A friend of mine hosted one and the whole company is based on selling quick, easy eats! Nothing requires more than 2-3 ingredients and all of their products can be bought for $10 or less.

I didn't get their website or anything while I was there, but I'm sure you can google it, maybe find someone who does them in your area. We sat around and ate delicious food for about 1.5 hours while she tried to sell us stuff for about 10 minutes!

Stew, Chili, Taco Soup, Recipe off the back of the Stove Top box, Recipe on the back of Campbell's Beef Broth for Stroganoff.

Than there's Cheesy Chicken Tortilla soup:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1lb velveeta - cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
Chicken broth (4 cups - I think)
1 to 2 cans Rotel
2 tsp cumin
Boil chicken, remove and shred, drain half the water out of pot, pour in chicken broth, veveeta, rotel, cumin, and return shredded chicken back to pot, bring to boil, serve over tortilla chips

Lasagna Roll-Ups
Brown 1 lb. of sausage
Saute in 4-5 chopped green onions
Turn on low and melt in 1 and 1/3 blocks of cream cheese.

In the meantime, boil some lasagna noodles till cooked. Cut in half and let cool till you can handle them.

Apply a layer of your favorite spaghetti sauce to the bottom of an 8x8 pan.

Place a large spoonful of the sausage mixture on a half noodle. Roll it up and place in dish. Repeat until filling and noodles are gone. 

Top with remaining spaghetti sauce. Bake for 20 minutes at 350. Top with a layer of mozarella. Bake for another 10 minutes.

Both recipes are AWESOME!!!

- Taco in a bag
- put a roast in the crockpot all day then when you come home make a box of stuffing or put potatoes in the oven. Save the juice, then the next day you can  make Auj sauce with french dip sandwhich's which consists of making grilled cheese and put some leftover roast in it. So yummy!

If we're pinched for time (or I really don't feel like cooking), I get a rotisserie chicken from the closest grocery store or walmart and then I just make mashed potatoes and veggies and some sister schuberts dinner rolls :) (if you eat bread and you've never had these- you must. Immediately). It's quick, cheap, easy- ANDDDD leftover chicken= shred it, toss it in BBQ sauce and throw I to a. Sandwich or on top of a sweet or baked potato! Double meals and 2 of my personal faves ;) (you're welcome) lol

I don't have many recipes I tend to just throw things together and hope they work but one my husband likes is Mexican lasagna. I use flour tortillas then usually layer with refried beans, hamburger you can mix in salsa, rotel, Mexican corn, jalapenos, chilis, olives, sour cream and enchilada sauce. I make it a a little different each time cause I can't remember what I did the time before, it freezes well. I make big batches of spaghetti sauce, chili and freeze them, lasagna and enchiladas. I am not real good and having things ready for meals but this are what I make when I am on top of it. You can do the Mexican enchilada in a pan as well just make the filling but add crushed up tortilla chips instead and I do it with enchiladas as well just use bowtie noodles and mix everything else together it doesn't take very long.

Cabbage roll Casserole, Browned ground beef, canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper, cut up cabbage and rice. Toss it all in the crock pot and top with shredded cheddar cheese before serving. Always a big hit in my house or at potlucks. There are recipes with the amounts of everything somewhere, but I just guesstimate amounts and it works out.

The easiest thing that even I can make is kielbalsa sausage cut into smaller pieces canned small potatos and green beans you put it all into a pot without draining the cans and add water if needed and bring it to a nice simmer in a pot on the stove or crock it all day on low.
