I am always in the mood for some comfort food.

And for me, that includes a nice warm, creamy casserole. I made this as a play on my mom’s tuna noodle casserole.

My husband and kids really enjoyed it. It’s one of those easy-to-make casseroles when you are faced with a busy schedule. You know, the days when you have one child going to soccer practice and another meeting with the chess team or whatever it is that your kids do.

You find yourself running all over the place and by the time you get home, it’s time for dinner and you haven’t anything out or ready to make. Bummer!

Cheer up buttercup! This bacon, mushroom, and noodle casserole is the answer to your prayers! It’s very easy to make and guess what?

Bacon only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to thaw on the kitchen counter if you have a package that is frozen.

You Won’t Be Able To Put Your Spoon Down

You know what I love about fall, the most? Granted, I enjoy the cool, crispy weather and all the bright colors of this season, but my favorite part of autumn has got to be the food. It’s not like I have a completely separate recipe book just for fall, but I tend to go for all kinds of soups and stews this time of year – even if the weather is still warm!

This slow cooker recipe for beef and noodle soup has been in my Top 3 for years now! It is ridiculously easy to make, the ingredients are very inexpensive, you can easily feed a large crowd – AND it tastes amazing. That’s pretty much every box ticked, for me!

On top of everything, this is one of those meals even my picky eater devours so fast, my jaw drops. It’s literally the only soup he loves enough to get seconds – so, obviously, I’m making this pretty often. And I have no problem with that! This recipe is incredibly versatile and just by using different kinds of noodles, you’ll make it look fresh and new each time.

Quick Tip: Use your favorite noodles for this soup.

Dash the dreams of your oven with this recipe because it goes directly into your Crock Pot, and comes out ten times better. Slow cooker cubed steaks and gravy are exactly what the doctor ordered. The meat is so fall-apart tender and juicy when cooked in the Crock Pot that it’ll make you want to slap your grandma!

Sure, you can cook these cubed steaks and gravy in your oven and they will most likely taste mediocre, but why place only so-so tasting food in your mouth? Are you not worthy of noshing on a meal that’s a 10? Of course you are! Seriously, my kids are very picky eaters and normally would scowl at the mere sight of cubed steaks, however, when i made this recipe, they were ready to chow down.

Quick Tip: You can use either canned or fresh mushrooms in this recipe. I prefer to use canned.

If you want a meal that is quick, easy to make, and a bit, well, out of the ordinary, Asian dishes are the way to go. This Chicken Chow Mein recipe is a lot easier to put together than you might think, and it works nicely as a side dish, a main course, or even a full meal, depending on your needs. And as with most any stir fry dishes, this chow mein is a rather versatile recipe. If you have some extra veggies you need to use, or you just like to tweak things to your tastes or experiment a bit, most anything goes. The recipe is really yummy as-is, though, and I certainly would make it again.

Traditionally, stir fry recipes such as this are made in a wok, though any large skillet will do if you don’t have a wok available. You will work with the same basic formula, whether you use this exact ingredient list or tweak things a bit; it’s a matter of making a bunch of things separately and then combining them into one big dish at the end.

This French Onion Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole is a simple but filling recipe that makes for good comfort food on a hectic weeknight. It requires just half a dozen ingredients and takes just half an hour to cook. Now, I don’t know about you, but I think a 30-minute meal is the bees knees!

Chicken noodle soup is practically the definition of comfort food – or the definition of comfort itself, for that matter. How many Chicken Soup for the Soul books are there now, 200 or thereabouts? Of course, you don’t want the same thing all the time. This casserole takes the classic yummy flavor of chicken soup and gives it a nice, refreshing twist. The best part is, this recipe works as a great base for any alterations, which you can make easily!

Beef Stroganoff may have a fancy name and hearty, filling flavor, but it isn’t that difficult to put together. Your slow cooker makes it even easier. Mother often used beef stroganoff as a go-to meal for hectic midweek nights. Even on the stove, it’s easy, but with the Crock-Pot, it’s cheater-level simple.

My husband is a good cook, but he would rather not spend his evenings in the kitchen. This is one of those recipes he is always happy to put together – he knows it’s going to be delicious, even though it’s so incredibly easy to make! In fact, I think I’ll ask him if he wants to cook dinner this week!

Holler if you like Asian food! I certainly do and I have always wished we had an Asian restaurant in my town. But since that hasn’t happened so far, I had to find a way to make something Asian myself – something that would look as pretty as it tastes! I never really thought about how easy summer rolls are to make until trying this recipe.

Summer rolls are something I always order when I go to Thai or Vietnamese restaurants, but I never thought of doing them myself. It must be that Asian mysteriousness, but once you try these you will be making them all the time.

Not only are they exotic and delicious but they are super healthy and very easy to prepare so you have the best of both worlds. This recipe immediately became one of my all time favorites!
