Three Envelope Roast
Your entire family can warm up on Sundays with this hearty Three Envelope Roast dinner recipe. It’s a simple twist on the traditional roast meal families have been eating for decades. As the name suggests, seasoning the beef requires three packets of premade sauce mixes and a bit of water. After adding the veggies, you'll be ready to turn on the slow cooker and let it do most of the hard work. With this recipe, time is your friend, so if you want tender meat make sure you have seven or eight hours for it to cook before dinnertime.
Easy Chicken Chili
Naturally gluten-free and ready in only 30 minutes, this Easy Chicken Chili recipe packs a major flavor punch. Plus, if you have leftovers, they reheat well and get better with time — making it a great dish for meal planning. Most of the ingredients come in a can, which makes assembling the dish a breeze. As a busy parent, you need all the time you can get, so opt for shredding a precooked rotisserie chicken instead of baking your own. The recipe offers a wide range of variations and topping suggestions, so it's easy to customize the meal to suit your family's taste.
Cheesy Lobster and Roasted Cauliflower Casserole
If you love lobster mac ‘n' cheese, then you'll adore this healthy twist of Cheesy Lobster and Roasted Cauliflower Casserole. Using cauliflower instead of noodles, you can enjoy delicious-tasting food with a fraction of the carbohydrates. Roasting the cauliflower pieces for about 35-45 minutes will ensure a level of firmness and crunch that you'd miss if you boiled the vegetable. After that, you'll compose a simple roux that acts as the base of your sauce. By the time you're adding the lobster and assembling the dish, your mouth will be watering. You can serve this savory casserole as a main course or side dish.
Old Fashioned Cream of Tomato Soup
Is there anything more comforting than grilled cheese and tomato soup? This Old-Fashioned Cream of Tomato Soup recipe calls for light cream, milk, and butter to provide a creamy consistency. Chicken broth provides flavor depth, and celery, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and onion give the soup texture variation. After cooking the vegetables and bringing the ingredients to a boil, it will only take 20 minutes of simmering before it’s ready to eat. While this meal will warm you up, it would be best with sandwiches or a side dish.
Simple Veggie Curry
Make vegetables exciting with this Simple Veggie Curry recipe. This dish calls for many pantry staples, making it easy to whip together on a snow day. After boiling the potatoes and sauteeing onions and garlic, you’ll be ready to toss in the remaining ingredients. The cooking time is only 18-22 minutes in total, so your kids won’t need to wait long for a plate of hot fresh food.
Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta
Combine two of your favorite foods with this revolutionary Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta recipe. It’s kid-friendly and easy to reheat for a midnight snack or lunch the next day.

Barbeque sauce and mustard seal this unique combination to create a harmonious dish. Next time you’re thinking of making traditional pasta try this instead. It will take you only 30 minutes to wow your kids with this special meal — and it’ll likely become a household favorite.
