Sometimes, you want a big ‘ol plate of Mexican food, but you haven’t the energy to whip up authentic tortillas, salsa, and refried beans. Plus, if you have my luck,t he grocery store never seems to carry queso. What’s a girl (or guy) to do? Make burrito casserole!

This casserole is absolutely great, and it’s very easy to throw together. In fact, when I’m working late, my 15-year-old daughter enjoys helping me make dinner, and this is something she’s made all by herself before. See? Burrito casserole is so easy to make even a kid can do it. You’ll love the layers of spicy meat, cheese, and hot tortillas.

There’s nothing I love more than a sweet slice of angel food cake. Nothing can compare to the cushiony texture of airy angel food cake mixed with sweet pineapple and topped with a dollop of Cool whip. Yum! I can almost taste this energetic dessert on my tongue right now.

So, a little while back, a friend introduced me to a chocolate cake so divine, I thought I’d died and gone to pastry heaven. I’m not even kidding! This cake is excellent, and anyone can whip one up. There are two very special ingredients hiding inside of it that I think you should know about. Seriously, you don’t want to miss out on this, people! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Perhaps I should shut-up and just cut to the chase and tell you what the secret ingredients are. I mean, who doesn’t like a little suspense?

Are you ready for this?

Guinness Beer and Bailey’s Irish Cream. Talk about a combination of yummy goodness! Even if you aren’t a stout beer lover, you’re going to love this cake. The dark beer creates a decadent flavor when enraptured in the concoction of chocolate, flour, and eggs. The Bailey’s is part of the creamy frosting that dresses this cake up like a complete angel sent from the heavens above.

When all you want is a juicy hamburger with a side of fries but you don’t feel like dragging out the grill, whip up this all-American casserole instead! In just 4 ingredients you can have an amazing dinner ready that your entire family will love. I find that this casserole is a HUGE hit with the kids.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t always have the time or energy to satisfy my grilled and deep fried cravings. This casserole has helped me get the best of both worlds. It combines savory hamburger, cheese, and a creamy sauce topped by a bed of French fries all baked to perfection. I love to top this casserole with all of the fixins’ like ketchup, mustard, dill relish, and diced onions.

This recipe puts me in a very good mood, and I’ll tell you why. I hate coming home after a long day and trying to figure out something for dinner. Between hungry kids, dirty dishes, and a million other things going on, I want to toss all of the food groups into one baking dish, set the oven at 350, and call it good.

Is that even possible?

Yes! Yes, it is very possible with this one-pan wonder. Combine pasta, chicken breast, bacon, and cheese together in your favorite baking dish and smother it with a creamy sauce for the perfect busy weeknight meal. It’s easy to make, tastes great, and fills hungry bellies nicely.

Rich, gooey chocolate dump cake is one of my all-time favorite desserts. I’m a huge chocolate fan and tend to get a little overexcited at even the mention of cocoa laden treat. This cake packs everything there is to love about a dessert into 4 fabulous ingredients. It’s so simple to make!

Who would have thought that a package of instant chocolate pudding could bring about so much happiness! That’s the key ingredient in this dump cake, and it’s an amazing addition. All you do is dump, pour, mix, and bake. In about 30-minutes, you have a rich and decadent dessert that’s calling your name. And guess what this cake is loaded with? Chocolate chips!
