Don't have fresh thyme growing in a pot on your kitchen window? Just ran out of dry Hungarian mustard? That's okay! The Pillsbury One-Dish Meals Cookbook is a REAL, PRACTICAL cookbook for REAL, PRACTICAL people! For example, the recipe for Flaky Lasagna gets rid of the difficult to work with lasagna noodles and layers delicious meat sauce and healthy spinach and cottage cheese, and tops it off with flaky canned biscuits for an oh-so-fast, tasty meal that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. If you have a life and prefer not to spend your after work hours slaving in the kitchen or schlepping to the super market, then this cookbook is for you.

I've made 3 or 4 casserole meals for my small family from this book. These meals are quick to prepare, often utilizing canned vegetables and other canned products, and readily available spices, and pop in and out of the oven in no time. Meals are always scrumptious; even the mashed potatoes and ground beef casserole I made last night using left-over ground beef was a treat. Left-overs generally last for 2 to 3 days in our 2 person family. I will advise that you season according to your personal tastes. Our Latin American palettes prefer a little "spice" added to each dish. Color photos abound in this book and 1-2-3 directions puts the ease in eas(e)y. :)

This review is from: Pillsbury: One-Dish Meals Cookbook: More Than 300 Recipes for Casseroles, Skillet Dishes and Slow-Cooker Meals (Hardcover)

I received at least three cookbooks for Christmas this year, and this one definitely gets the most use. Each recipe has the prep time and total time to finish meal listed first, making weekly menu planning easy. The directions are so easy to follow that my boyfriend (who doesn't cook) can follow it! I'm a busy graduate student, and these recipes are a welcome alternative to eating out versus cooking the extravagant dishes in some of my other cookbooks. Make-ahead and freeze directions are a lifesaver! My favorites so far: Italian Tortelli Stew (crockpot), Chicken and Cashew Bake, and Easy Italian Sauage-Vegetable Soup. Nutrition Information is listed at the end of each recipe, and my only qualm is that some of this is definitely comfort food and high in fat. With a few substitutions, we've made these easy dishes more healthy, too.

It's hard to find cookbooks for casseroles and slow cookers these days, but this one is great. It has everything you could want, from beef stew recipes to every variety of lasagna! I've made 4 dishes from it, and all were great. I'm a new mom, and this cookbook makes great, quick meals. Lots of recipes also have directions for freezing dishes, if you want to make them ahead of time. I'm sending it to my sister, who just had her fourth baby!
