One Pot Dinner Recipe

With back to school season coming up, easy dinner recipes are a must.  Fast, uncomplicated meals with very little clean up are a life saver on those hectic weeknights!  It’s even better when the meal is inexpensive thanks to Kraft Coupons.

I love green enchiladas but they can be time consuming to make.  This One Pot Enchilada Casserole has all of the great flavor of green enchiladas without the fuss.

How can you go wrong with an extra flavorful and cheesy pasta dinner!?!

It’s all about the cheese!  At least, that it my mantra.

This is the type of food I could eat every night.

Don’t worry, it’s kid friendly too.  Just make sure you buy mild green chiles and it will not be spicy.  The Taco Bell Creamy Jalapeno Sour Cream Dip does have quite a kick to it. {And I Love It!}  You may want to leave that off if you have kiddos with timid taste buds.

There you go.  A quick, easy dinner that is also filling and nutritious.  On the table in 30 minutes or less.  And, you don’t even have a sink full of dishes to wash afterwards!  Does it get any better?  Nope.
