Cheese so good! This is the cheesy pasta bake of your dreams. First up, sauté your onions, garlic, sausage, and spices. Add in the cooked pasta, mozzarella cheese, and fresh-cut basil for a little extra flavor. Lastly, before throwing in the oven, add a nice top layer of cheese. It’s really up to YOU how much you want to put on. Just make sure you let it bubble up and get toasty before taking your bake out of the oven.
Most things in life are better with cheese. Pasta is DEFINITELY one of those things.
Bon appetit!
Green Chili Chicken And Corn Enchilada Casserole

This is pretty much an enchilada lasagna. Layer this dish up with tortillas, then your green chile chicken mixture, and top with cheese. Do that a couple of times and you have yourself a delectable and easy dinner dish.
Ta-da! Serve it up with some fresh-cut green onions, cilantro, and tomatoes for added brightness. This is one dish that goes extra far, so you’ll have plenty of leftovers to get you through the week.
Mini Cheeseburger Muffins
Sliders, move aside! These mini cheeseburgers are where it’s at. Quick to make and easy to eat for a life on the go. Plus, kids (of any age) will love them!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ground beef seasoning
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon prepared mustard

What’s not to love about little bite-sized burgers? Sauté your seasoned ground beef, drain, and set aside to cool. Portion out your biscuits into the cups of a cupcake pan. You’ll want to press them into the shape of the cup to allow room for the beef. We are obviously big fans of cheese, so we added a layer on the bottom and top of the ground beef. Once the little muffins are prepped, pop them in the oven.
Let them cool and add all of your favorite toppings. Look at these little guys! Who wouldn’t love a burger in a bite?
There’s no reason not to enjoy meal prep either. This fridge allows you to listen to music, catch up on your favorite podcast, or stream the latest season of a binge-worthy show.
