Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole

September 9, 2021 Amanda Plott

Dinner is served! With my daughter being in cheerleading this year, there’s at least one day a week where we are rushing out the door between picking up from school, changing, and getting back up to the school. Oh, and somewhere in between that is dinner. That’s where this Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole comes into play.

This delicious casserole is not only quick to make, it’s also easy and only requires four ingredients. One of the best parts is that you can make it ahead of time and reheat later OR put the casserole together and store it in the fridge until ready for the final bake to enjoy. Either way, it’s super convenient!…

It won’t be long now and it will be football season. I should know, my daughter is a cheerleader this year! I’m always down for gameday food, but I think this year will be that much more special. And nothing says gameday or tailgating quite like buffalo chicken. Let me just say too, these easy Buffalo Chicken Nachos are where it’s at.

I found some gluten free lime multi grain chips at the store, and just knew they would go perfectly well with some sort of buffalo chicken goodness. And here we are! These nachos are a little Tex-Mex mixed with just a touch of an American favorite; buffalo chicken…

Today my daughter is at her first cheer camp to learn all she needs to for cheerleading at her middle school this year. What does that mean? Back-to-School is hot my heels and it’s time to roll out those easy to do one pot dinners. This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is just that. It gives you all you expect out of a chicken pot pie, but without having for fuss and worry with pie dough!

This casserole starts off with a pretty standard roux that you then add veggies and chicken to. It’s all topped off with some biscuit dough and baked together to make one delicious dinner that’s put together and done in no time at all…

Blueberry Instant Pot Cobbler

Did you know that you can make cobbler in a pressure cooker? Turns out that you can and with only 5, yes 5 ingredients! That’s all it takes. This delicious Blueberry Instant Pot Cobbler takes less than 5 minutes of hands on time. The instant pot does all the rest of the work for you!

One of the best parts too is that it doesn’t even really heat up the house because you aren’t having to even touch or look at the oven. Which in the middle of summer here in Texas is a BIG deal. This cobbler has a very dense and moist cake to it, just as any sort of pastry that’s cooked in a pressure cooker. But, that' works out beautifully when you’re making a wet cake such as cobbler…

Looking for a quick dinner idea? Look no further! This Queso Chicken Bake is here just for you! And when I say queso, I do mean queso! Just look at his cheesy an delicious this chicken is! I should note too, it doesn’t get more simple to easy than this toss and bake recipe either. with just 5 ingredients, you can have dinner tossed together and ready to go in no time at all!

Being as this dish is so simple and has so few ingredients, there isn’t much to change here other than to swap some of the things out for ‘no salt added’ or ‘low sodium’ options. This way you can season it yourself to your own liking. Which I almost guarantee is less salt overall…
