Casserole Recipes

Casseroles are a boon to the busy family. Some of these can be prepared ahead of time and frozen or refrigerated. Others are just quick and easy, like this chicken baked with rice. They don't all include vegetables so supplement with some simple green beans, peas or just some cut up vegetables with a dressing for dip if that makes your kids eat more vegetables. (I used to always have some cut up vegetables on the counter for "nibbling" while I was fixing dinner. My kids would eat carrots, celery, sliced red bell peppers, snap peas and jicama pretty regularly while they were "waiting" for dinner.)
