Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Working Mom's Layered Nachos
“A quick, easy and somewhat healthy dinner fix for anytime you need to get dinner on the table quickly and keep 'em happy! Can even be a great appetizer or dip for a party. I use this often and it keeps everyone asking for it over and over.” - Michelle
Sriracha Ramen Noodle Recipe
“A simple, easy, and spicy recipe, Sriracha Ramen Noodle Recipe is a grown-up version of the classic budget snack you ate in college! These flavorful noodles with crunchy vegetables have a delightfully spicy sauce and will satisfy your Asian food craving right at home!” - Paula
Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
“This is wonderful made just as the recipe says, but I prefer to use sweet Italian sausage instead of beef. If you get the links just remove the casings and brown the meat just like you would ground beef. And you can make it into Unrolled Cabbage Roll Soup by adding a carton of chicken, vegetable, or beef broth. Very versatile recipe. One of my favorite go-to recipes.” - Jean
Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
“Bacon Cheeseburger Soup would be a fabulous lunch and meal prepping. My wheels started turning and I thought about the flavors he loves in a burger and put them into this soup without the guilt. I tried to make this full of flavor and creamy so it is satisfying for someone cutting carbs and wouldn’t feel like they are missing anything.” - Debbie
Spanish Rice with Ground Beef
“This is an easy, quick and economical dinner that packs a big punch of flavor. The slightly spicy Spanish rice has the typical Mexican flavors you'd expect and is really the source for all the flavor in this easy dinner. The sweet corn mixed with the spices is the perfect combination. The crunchy corn chips and cheese are a nice topping for this easy casserole. A great dinner idea if you're busy and looking to get something on the table easily.” - Kitchen Crew
Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup
“Cooler weather means more soups on the menu and this recipe should be added to your rotation. It's basically a stuffed bell pepper in soup form. What really makes this soup a bit different is the tomatoes with the jalapenos. The red peppers mixed with the onions adds a slight sweetness to the soup. By the time the rice is added, this soup is thick and hardy almost like a stew/soup. A big bowl of this on a cold night would be the perfect meal.” - Kitchen Crew
"Cheeseburger" Casserole
“I make this quite often at my house and it's always a BIG hit! There are 9 people that live here and 5 of them are children who just love this! I usually will double all the ingredients except the meat and make 2 casseroles very cheap! =) I hope you enjoy my concoction of burgery goodness as much as my kids do!” - Jenny
Tanya's Tex-Mex Chili
“One of the secrets to a good chili is cooking it on low and a long time. This chili recipe is so easy because once the beef is browned everything is dumped into the slow cooker. As it simmers the magic happens. This is a delicious, basic chili recipe. It only requires a few seasoning packets and it's full of flavor. Great for the colder months or even while watching football. We opted to serve this with Fritos, cheese, sour cream, and olives... so good!” - Kitchen Crew
Too Hot to Tot! Tater Tot Hot Dish
"Hotdish recipes are popular in the Upper Midwest. They are casseroles cooked in a single dish and popular at potluck dinners. Barbara's version is perfectly seasoned and fantastic. We love the bits of sweet corn throughout and the crispy tater tots on top. This dish is going to go fast when served." - The Kitchen Crew
Reese's Stuffed Green Peppers
“The filling for these stuffed green peppers is delicious! I found myself snacking on it as I stuffed the peppers. The seasoning is what makes it so special. It has a Tex-Mex flavor and the chipotle tabasco sauce gives these a nice kick.” - Kitchen Crew
Jeanette's Taco Crunch Casserole
“This super-duper easy family-friendly casserole is great when you don't know what to make for dinner. It will not win a beauty contest, but it is full of flavor and oh so cheesy. Even super picky kids will love it. It's crushed Doritos and browned taco hamburger meat topped with a ton of cheese. The crunch comes from the Doritos that end up more like a cooked corn tortilla. The soup mixture is slightly spicy and packed with flavor. If you love tacos, you'll love this. We served it with corn but it would also be great with a green salad. Great recipe for a family on a budget.” - Kitchen Crew
Famous Taco Soup
“Have made this like 5 times since I kept the recipe. It is the best soup. I added different things as I made it different times like, garbanzo beans. I know it sounds odd but it fits. Fresh frozen corn from the garden and yellow hominy that I found. Black olives one time too. I chopped three colors of bell pepper tonight when I made it. So pretty. Put it on a bed of Dorito type chips or on top one time. Anyway you try it, it is an awesome soup and anyone who has been lucky enough to stop by when this was made has raved about it. It's like you can't mess it up.” - Terri
Chili Mac My Way
“Quick, easy and delicious! Needed something fast to make and this was perfect. My husband likes it too!” - Tina
