Southerwestern Casserole (instead of tacos!)

September 28, 2026September 27, 2026 RefreshHerLeave a comment

I’m not one of those who enjoys following the Monday meatloaf, Taco Tuesday kind of menu, but we do have Mexican frequently. When I weary of tacos, I like to make a dish of something Mexican.

I recently came across this Southerwestern Casserole that was so scrumptious! It could be served as a casserole, or even a dip, served with scooping chips. This came together quickly, and it made a LOT. As a matter of fact, I put half in the freezer before baking. The other half serve the two of us for supper and a couple lunches! If you like Mexican flavors, you will love this casserole filled with ground turkey, veggies, and beans.

I shared today’s recipe 15 years ago here on my blog! I hadn’t made these in a long time, but recently in one of my cooking lessons with my grandson, I thought of this recipe and knew it would be one he could do, and would enjoy. He and his brother loved them! These are simple, made up primarily of ground beef and canned biscuits.

Herb-Crusted Pizza

My grandsons came to stay overnight last Friday night. Because their family’s tradition is pizza on Friday night, I made an old favorite that I don’t believe I’ve ever shared here. What?! I decided you need this recipe, too! It took me 2 hours from start to sitting at the table to enjoy. That might sound like lots of work, but part of that time is when the dough is resting. This recipe (from Cooking Light) is delicious and worth the effort!!

Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe

Sometimes when I’ve planned my menu, I get excited about the upcoming meal, because it’s something new that I’m sure will be delicious! This happened recently after I had watched Ina Garten prepare a Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken on You Tube. It had all the flavors we love, so I promptly added it to my menu…and then did what I frequently do when I make a new recipe – I invited guests to join us for dinner! Ha!

This recipe rivals and maybe even wins over my favorite Katie Brown Chicken recipe that I’ve been making for years! The lemon slices that line the cast iron skillet add so much flavor, as well as the infused olive oil that is brushed onto the chicken skin. Yum!

Last week Dale and I went away for some study/prep time and I needed a supper meal that would come together without much fuss. That’s when I decided on a Foil Packet Dinner. It took me about 10 minutes to prep and 45 minutes to bake. There was lots of pay-off for such minimal effort! This was delicious!
