Make Your Family Happy With 5 Delicious One-Skillet Meals

1 Comment

one skillet meals

My greatest challenge as a working mom has been how to get everything done, well, all the time.  This daunting task remained a mysterious, unreachable goal for me but I tried.  Yes, I did.  Ordering out would have been a great solution, on an extravagant budget, but really?  You can’t do that all the time. And pleasing everybody with any income is still “a thing!”  You can’t please everybody all the time. Someone really smart said that.

 

So, a brilliant mom somewhere solved the problem with an uncomplicated solution.  “Throw everything in a frying pan, heat it up and serve.”  I can almost see her at the moment of that discovery!  Of course, it is helpful to jot down a few notes so, if it actually turns out wonderfully, you can duplicate it when your gratified family, tummies full and smiles on their faces, say “make that again. Mom,  please???”

 

These 5 bloggers (including me) did write their recipes down and here are their  delicious, family-pleasing one-skillet meals that you are going to want to try!

Sloppy Joe style goulash in a skillet

One Skillet Family “Goulash” Sloppy Joe Style!

This one is mine.  I literally “threw” this recipe together the first time I made it.  Afterall, how many times can you serve the same burgers or meatloaf without some pushback?  I was getting tired of the same-old stuff, too. We all needed something new! 

Well, the ground beef was thawed and I had just bought a can of Manwich, thinking I’d make  sloppy joes sometime.  Then, an idea popped into my head  that, instead of using sandwich rolls, I could make a one skillet casserole in my frying pan!  Necessity truly is the mother of invention.  A new family favorite was born that night and we have had it many times over!

Healthier One Pot Skillet Lasagna

The Recipe Rebel made this one-skillet lasagna in just 30 minutes.  If you are a lasagna lover, as I am, you know that you cannot make lasagna that fast.  But she found a way to capture all that wonderful flavor in a skillet and doesn’t it look YUMMY???? Wow!

Ground beef is a staple in my life.  I have to have it at least a couple times a week.  When I saw this recipe I had to add it to the collection!  Cheeseburgers in a pan!  The Foodie Hustle blog created this scrumptious comfort food that I consider to be very kid-friendly!  Do you agree?

One Skillet Chicken Dinner

Now, this really blesses me.  Yes, I am a beef lover but sometimes you just have to have chicken.  When I saw the picture, I wanted it – right then – on a plate just for me!  Then I browsed through her recipe and it was a winner because it is easy to do.  The Modern Nonna put all her cooking genius into this.  I can hardly wait to try it!

Easy one-skillet meal! #DucksnaRow #family #dinner #easymeals #kidapproved

Goulash is a title that has been highly stretched over the years. My apologies to all authentic Hungarian Goulash lovers out there. It is not my intent to insult a dearly loved cultural cuisine but so many American families do call this goulash – I did my research on this – that I am sticking with it. 🙂
