Chicken & Cornbread Casserole

May 20, 2020 Amanda Plott

Comfort food has been the name of the game over the past few weeks and months. I’ve been using my oven a lot more than usual. I guess we could all use the comfort of a good home cooked meal during these trying times. And there isn’t much that’s more comforting than a nice warm serving of this Chicken & Cornbread Casserole!

This casserole starts off with a hearty mixture of chicken and vegetables and it then topped off with an easy homemade cornbread. The end result is something similar to a potpie, but with more of a southern twist with the cornbread…

If you’re looking for a pantry proof dinner, look no further! This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is a quick, easy to make, delicious dinner that is sure to please the whole family. It’s cooked all in one dish for easy clean up and only uses a handful of ingredients that are pretty versatile to change up if need be.

I kept this rather traditional casserole lightened up by using a greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also used a reduced sodium soup instead of the plain-sane version. And of course, chicken breast as opposed to dark meat…

Broccoli & Cheese Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

November 4, 2019 Amanda Plott

As the Holidays draw ever closer, I’m always inclined to start thinking about casseroles. Especially when it comes to breakfast. I like to have something I can toss together quickly (or even the night before) so that I can serve up a group of people without breaking a sweat.

And trust me when I say that I’ve made my fair share of breakfast casseroles in the past.

This Broccoli & Cheese Tater Tot Breakfast Bake is based off of one that I made about a year ago. I’ve taken it a step further, lightening it even more, and using some veggie loaded tater tots instead of plain-jane traditional ones…

As far as breakfasts go, I’m a pretty simple creature. I like simple things. And if I can make it ahead of time? Bonus points! This Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake covers both bases with just a handful of ingredients needed and a few minutes of hands on time.

This French Toast Bake is basically a french toast that’s been turned into a casserole and had all the fun flavors of Fall tossed into it. Pumpkin and pumpkin spice and everything nice!…

Italian Breakfast Bake

August 16, 2019 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say. And I’d tend to agree. There is a reason they call it ‘breakfast’ too. The intention is to ‘break the fast’ of not eating overnight while you sleep. With being in the middle of an end of summer heat wave in Texas, I am avoiding my oven like the plague. The only time I’ll even consider using it is first thing in the morning before the heat of the day.

It’s been a while since I had a hot breakfast, so I figured it was about time to tempt the fate of the oven and heat and whip up a nice warm breakfast to enjoy. Breakfast casseroles are some of my favorite breakfast bites because it’s a ‘one and done’ situation. Meal prep at it’s finest. And this Italian Breakfast Bake is mmm-mmm good! Low carb, gluten free, and keto friendly…

Sundays are for brunching, and this Sunday is no different. With knowing tomorrow is Monday, and that today was going to be a lazy day for the most part, I decided to go ahead and make breakfast yesterday. Well, what does that mean? It means Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake, that’s what it means!

This Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake is made ahead of time and sits overnight in the fridge where the big cubes of hearty bread cans oat up eggs, cream cheese, blueberries and the like. Then in the morning, it’s ready to be baked and enjoyed!…
