Creating great meals means cooking at home. Eating out has been shown to be expensive and often unhealthy as portions are huge, ingredients are unknown to you, restaurants focus on calorie rich flavors, and diners tend to over eat. It is better to take those traditional classics and make them at home where you can control the ingredients and the portion sizes. Even if the meal isn't at the top of the "healthy list", just making the meal at home instead of eating out can greatly improve your health habits.
When I think of easy cooking, I don't think casseroles. Casseroles require planning, measuring, and thinking - and who wants to do that? However, I received a recipe from my cousin for Chicken Pot Pie and had to give it a try. Thinking about a chicken pot pie stuffed with vegetables and lean chicken. I changed the recipe a little to make it easier.
1. Mix half a bag (2 cups) of Mexican cheese with two cans each of chicken, mixed vegetables, and cream of Chicken soup into a greased backing dish.
2. Put 2 tablespoons of butter over 8 Pillsbury biscuits that you cut into quarters
3. Put the biscuits ontop the mixture
4. Bake at 375 for around 20 minutes (until the biscuits are golden brown, but before they turn black).
