What’s the saying… “If something isn’t broke, don’t fix it?” We think that should apply to recipes too! If a meal is popular with the family and gets kids to clear their plates, that’s a plus in our book. From dips to main meals and desserts, it’s good to have easy recipes handy that you know will always be a hit. Here are 20 recipes you’ll make again and again (and no one will get sick of them).
Yummy Chicken
“This is seriously the best baked chicken I have ever had! I am a busy mom of 3 adorable boys and married to one hard-working hungry husband. So when I can find the time to make an easy, cheap, great-tasting meal I’m all for it. And this is one of those yummy meals.” – Angela
Mom’s Swedish Meatballs
“This recipe calls for consomme which has a stronger flavor than regular beef broth. If you cannot find consomme, beef broth may be substituted. It will still taste great. Mom’s original recipe calls for dried parsley, too. This is my all-time favorite recipe from her. It is a simple recipe but the taste cannot be beat.” – Marybeth
Slow Cooker Shredded Taco Chicken
“We had this super duper easy flavorful chicken in several different meals this weekend. Friday Dinner: Chicken & Black Bean Soft Tacos Saturday Lunch: Taco Chicken & Avocado Sandwiches Sunday Breakfast: Southwest Omelets Sunday Dinner: Chicken & Lime Enchiladas Make today… cook easily tomorrow!” – Karie
Tater Tot Casserole
“My kids love this. The more tater tots and cheese I put in it, the better.” – Muna
Sea’s Salisbury Steak
“This is my favorite recipe for Salisbury steak. It’s very easy and gets rave reviews! You can simmer this for awhile. The longer you do, the thicker, darker and more flavorful the gravy becomes. This recipe makes extra gravy for mashed potatoes.” – Sea
Failproof Fluffy Butter Biscuits
“After attempts to make fluffy but buttery tasting biscuits, I think I finally came up with a terrific recipe.” – Robin
Lemon Glazed Blueberry Tea Bread
“I enter our local Farm Fair Culinary Competition on the quest for the coveted Silver Bowl Grand Prize. I have placed over the years with Blue Ribbons etc. but the Silver Bowl escaped me until last year. I finally won it with Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake that I will be posting. The Silver Bowl can not be won unless blueberries are the main ingredient. This was the second runner up in the Bread Category for the 2010 Competition.” – Patti Rahilly-Jone
Chocolate Cobbler
“This recipe is great anytime! I take it to family dinners and fix it in the mornings to take to work for breakfast.” – Erin
Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken
“Savory, filling and full of flavor this super easy creamy slow cooker chicken is a perfect budget-friendly meal the whole family will love.” – Debbie
Crab-Artichoke Dip
“A co-worker brought an extra dish of this into the office a few months back and I talked her into giving me the recipe. Now I am sharing it with you with a few changes of my own.” – Nicole
Sour Cream Coffee Cake -My Favorite!
“For many years this has been one of my favorite coffee cakes because it is made with the finest ingredients: butter, sour cream, fresh eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, and walnuts. The aroma fills my house with a luscious scent.” – Beth
Stuffed Green Peppers
“I love green peppers in my eggs for breakfast, in my salads, on my pizza, and raw. It’s no surprise when I make this recipe I usually double it because these peppers are so filling and they taste even better the day after if any are around. I love being in the kitchen and feeding others. Everyone has to eat right?!” – Natalie
Pecan Delight Baked French Toast
“This is a very rich breakfast and very, very delish. You really won’t need syrup to enjoy. It’s so easy to make the night before and pop into the oven the next morning. This is also a wonderful brunch dish or dessert for something different.” – Colleen
Bacon Horseradish Chip Dip
“This is our family dip recipe. We have it at every family gathering, and it’s just not the same without it.” – Laura

Mama Seward’s Strawberry Cake Recipe
“I got this strawberry cake recipe from my daughter’s grandmother. It is absolutely incredible.” – Wanda

“These are so good and simple. It is superb with or without the sharp cheddar cheese.” – Annamaria
Bonnie’s Best Blue Ribbon Oven Baked Fries
“I have always had a passion for French fries, and therefore, I could never pass by those golden arches without stopping in to buy some. These days, we are trying to eat a lot healthier, so it was a very sad day when I had to give up my French fries. But I found with some research, that you don’t really have to give up what you love. Just find a substitute that is healthier and one that tastes just as good.” – Bonnie
Mom’s Chocolate Decadent Cake
“This is the most requested chocolate cake that I make and is the favorite chocolate cake choice for family potlucks, parties, birthdays and weddings.” – Shelia

“All of the flavours of shepherd’s pie is soup form with the mashed potatoes mixed in, making for a thick and creamy broth!” – Kevin
