This casserole has the flavors of tacos and adds gooey cheese and beans for a hearty meal. It takes a little bit of time to prepare, but it’s still easy enough for a weeknight meal. We topped ours with a little sour cream, taco sauce, and jalapenos, but use your favorite toppings. On the side, we served charro beans and Spanish rice for a full meal. Click here for the recipe.

Grilled Cheese Pizza Supreme
by Cara J. Mastrangello from Albany, NY
This grilled cheese is like a supreme pizza in a grilled sandwich – a fantastic idea! We loaded our sandwich with all the suggested toppings and fell in love. But tailor the sandwich with your favorite pizza toppings. Buttery grilled sourdough holds in the gooey cheese, hearty pepperoni, and salty prosciutto. Fresh basil adds a pop of flavor. We added a little sauce inside the grilled sandwich and served some on the side for dipping. If you don’t have a panini press, these can be grilled in a skillet. Here’s the recipe.
Bourbon Braised Pork Chops
by Pauline Greenwood from Iowa City, IA
This is a really flavorful pork chop dish that was quite a pleasant surprise! It elevates a basic pork chop. Braising the pork chops in a mixture of brown sugar, allspice, bourbon, and orange juice creates a deliciously sweet sauce. Browning both sides of the pork chops helps to seal in the juices. Once braised, they were extremely tender. Click here for the recipe.

Chili Mac and Beef Casserole
by Freda Gable from Vancouver, WA
Meaty and cheesy, this mac and beef casserole is full of flavor. Filled with ground beef and pasta, it’s a very hearty meal. Taco seasoning and cumin add the flavor you associate with a bowl of chili. Once baked, the shredded cheese on top is nice and melted. And Freda is right, leftovers are just as good.
