Love your recipes. It would be nice if you had a link to be able to save specific recipes (like Betty Ctrocker, All Recpies). Then we could go back to our favs whenever we wanted to. Thanks

I am a fan of one pot meals. I love noodle so much. Thank for share this awesome post.
Love your recipes! I’ve made the One Pot Lasagna a hundred times. These are great for meal preps. With a new born baby their quick easy & hubs loves them as well.. Never any left overs!
When on the website for the one pot pasta dishes, I also saw one for Creamy Lemon One Pot Pasta. I copied the ingredients but forgot to copy the instructions. I cannot find that recipe again. Do you know where I can find it? By the way, I made this recipe tonight and everyone loved it!
Sandi, I actually do not have a recipe for a Creamy Lemon One Pot Pasta at this time.
Looks delicious! ! Can you prepare and freeze?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
I am loving this list that you have put together , thank you , I am looking at the one pot pasta bake and thinking that is something that I would love to give a shot.
My absolute favorite almost-a-one-pot wonder of yours didn’t make the list…. Cheesy Enchilada Rice Skillet!! I LOOOOVE it!! Love your recipes!!
I have made first recipe about four times now! Saucy with ravioli, thick and creamy with other pasta. Can’t wait to adapt others to use soy crumbles instead of beef. Thank you!
We all love your shrimp with orzo. Delicious.

OMG totally making that cheeseburger casserole recipe!!! I used to love Hamburger helper as a kid and this looks like such a healthier version!
My family goes crazy for that one! I could make it once a week and they would be happy campers. I sometimes substitute a pound of ground bison for the ground beef.
I love your website. I wish I had found it before I retired. It would have saved me a lot of time.

Great thinking, Beth! I’m in the same situation with a college boy.
