Simply Casseroles is simply delicious!! I was thrilled when the book delivered on it's promise of quick preparation, however you'd never know that these delicious recipes were so easy to make. The Berry Crumble Pie is one of the best desserts I've ever made, and the Cornbread Casserole is terrific with chili, any other mexican dish, or even by itself. At the rate I'm sampling these recipes, I hope a Simply Casseroles 2 is released very soon!

This is a cookbook with some of my favorite easy dinner dishes. I love to make dinner in the morning (or on another day) and just heat in the afternoon for dinner. I've tried a lot of the recipes and have been disappointed in only one. This is one of four cookbooks I use regularly.

I asked for and received this cookbook last Christmas after I saw it on a cooking show. I was so excited to try it out! So far, I've tried 5 of the recipes and have been thoroughly disappointed. I think the other person who wrote a review for this book must have been paid to do so by the author or publisher! Please do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this one! I'm throwing mine away...

I wasnt impressed by the recipes in this book. There was nothing new or interesting in the whole book. Just some simple and already known recipes.

I am a good cook. I am at the level that I can make a lot of good recipes, from scratch, off the top of my head. The recipes in this book simply don't work. The Porcupine Peppers recipe forgets to mention that the meat needs to be browned before mixing - so you will either ending up cooking the peppers for 1 hour and 15 minutes or, if you follow the recipe, die of food poisoning. The meaty lasagne doesn't have enough liquid in it to cook the noodles (I had to add about 1 cup of water). The Garlic Chicken and Tri-Colored Pasta didn't cook the pasta right, some was hard and crunchy and the rest was gummy. I have a stomachache from trying to eat the mess, and am very upset to be throwing away 2 chicken breasts, a box of pasta and 2 heads of broccoli because it didn't come out. This book is so bad that I am going to recycle it, I do not want to risk giving it away and having someone else get sick from the food. Yuck.
