This easy Ham and Potato Casserole had us going back for seconds! If you have any leftover ham, this is a great way to put it to good use. And what makes this one really shine is our garlicky Panko breadcrumb topping, giving you that delicious little crunch on top. That right there is what’ll have you loading up a second scoop!

Looking for more easy casseroles? Try our delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole.

Use leftover ham or packaged diced ham to whip up this casserole with minimal prep work.
Our Panko breadcrumb topping gives the just the right crunch in every bite.
Easily doubled to make two pans to feed a crowd!

This one is a family favorite that we promise won’t disappoint. We make a sauce from scratch that starts with a simple roux to get that thick, creamy consistency. A little better than using a can of condensed soup, right?

Russet Potatoes: Best for this dish because they hold their shape well. Chop into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Substitute with Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture.
Ham: Leftover ham is perfect for this recipe. You can also use store-bought diced or chopped ham, usually found in the refrigerated section near the bacon.
Butter: Mixed with flour for the roux (sauce base). We use salted butter but you can use unsalted to control the sodium content.
Chicken Broth: Using a low-sodium option allows you to best control the flavor. It’s a great chef tip.
Half and Half: Makes the sauce extra creamy without being too heavy. You could also go all out and use heavy cream.
Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded cheese, which contains additives to prevent clumping that make it a little grainy when it melts.
Dijon Mustard: If you’re out of Dijon, yellow mustard or whole-grain mustard can be used instead.
Panko Breadcrumbs: You can use regular breadcrumbs but we love Panko for its extra crunchiness.

Looking to sneak in some veggies? Broccoli is a great choice as it always goes well with ham and cheese. Just throw it in with the other ingredients and it will cook to the right tenderness in the sauce—no need to pre-cook. If the cooking time is long enough for potatoes, it’s long enough for broccoli. If you’re worried about kids noticing the veggies, chop them finely and mix them in with the sauce and they’ll blend right in!

Don’t reach for that can of condensed soup every again. If you’ve never made sauce from scratch before, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is. You’ll start with a roux, which is a mixture of 50/50 fat and flour (not to be confused with a slurry or gravy), which you will then add to your liquid of choice.

Pro tip: make sure you let the butter and flour mixture cook for a full 1-2 minutes before adding in the milk and broth. Raw flour really needs that time to cook for the best flavor. You want this mixture to have an ever so slight golden color before adding the liquid.

Also, don’t rush pouring the broth and/or milk—you want to slowly whisk it in for a smooth consistency. Trust us.

One of our favorite things about this casserole is the perfectly golden brown breadcrumb topping. We use Panko breadcrumbs, which give it an extra crunch and resists becoming soggy with the creamy sauce. Breadcrumbs are mixed with butter and garlic powder to give it just the right texture and flavor. If you’re in the mood for an extra crispy bite, go ahead and double it for a thicker layer of this delicious topping.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Microwave portions on high in 30-second increments or until warmed through.

*For a crispier topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Tender chicken is simmered in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes minutes

Resting Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 27 minutes minutes

Servings 4

1½ pounds chicken cutlets or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut horizontally* ½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon dried oregano¼ teaspoon black pepper1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons salted butter8 cloves garlic thinly sliced½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth½ cup heavy whipping cream or evaporated milk mixed with 1 teaspoon cornstarch½ cup chicken broth½ teaspoon dried basil¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, for garnish

Season the chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (in batches if needed) and cook for 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer it to a plate and lightly cover to keep warm.

To make the sauce, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and garlic to the pan. Cook until fragrant and starting to soften, about 1 minute.

Stir in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Whisk in the heavy cream, broth, and basil. Simmer uncovered for 8-12 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices, and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

*Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and pound to ¼-inch thickness. If using boneless skinless chicken thighs, increase cooking time slightly.

1 pound ground Italian sausage1 large yellow onion diced4 medium carrots finely diced4 medium celery ribs finely diced5 teaspoons minced garlic4 cups beef broth1 (30 ounce can) fire roasted diced tomatoes1 (15 ounce can) red kidney beans drained and rinsed1 (15 ounce can) cannellini beans drained and rinsed1 teaspoon salt or to taste1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste1/2 teaspoon dried thyme1 1/2 cups ditalini pasta

Garnish

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Heat a 5 to 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add in 1 pound ground Italian sausage. Use a large spoon to break it up, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Meanwhile, dice 1 large yellow onion and finely dice 4 medium carrots and 4 medium celery ribs into similarly sized pieces as the onion. Add to the pot with the sausage and cook until vegetables are softened and sausage is cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add 5 teaspoons minced garlic during the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking.

Pour in 4 cups beef broth and 1 (30 ounce can) fire roasted diced tomatoes. Drain and rinse the 1 (15 ounce can) red kidney beans and 1 (15 ounce can) cannellini beans to remove the extra starch, then add them to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Add 1 1/2 cups ditalini pasta. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until pasta is al dente, about 7 minutes.

Serve hot and garnish generously with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Instead of 1 pound of Italian sausage, you can use lean ground beef, ground turkey, or even diced ham.
Add some greens with 2 cups of roughly chopped kale added in with the ditalini to simmer, or 2 cups of baby spinach once the soup has finished cooking.

These Pineapple Upside Down Cookies are the perfect sweet treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and are surprisingly easy to make! You get the delicious, caramelized pineapple that you love from the classic cake recipe, but in cookie form. Juicy pineapple and cherries not only give these cookies a sweet, fruity flavor but also makes them soft and moist long after coming out of the oven.

For more pineapple treats, try the original with a classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Craving pineapple upside-down cake? Satisfy that craving in cookie form instead!
Tropical flavors make us feel like we’re on vacation with this sweet treat.
Caramelized pineapple and juicy cherries make this cookie super soft and moist.

These homemade cookies really have it all. You get juicy freshness from the pineapple ring, a little pop of cherry flavor in the middle, all topped with a soft, buttery cookie. We use brown sugar to candy the pineapple, giving it a delicious caramelized flavor and texture. You won’t be able to eat just one!

Pineapple Rings: We use canned pineapple rings. Drain to remove excess moisture before using!
Maraschino Cherries: Drain and half these cherries before placing in the pineapple ring.
Brown Sugar: Separated into two parts: 3/4 cup for the dough and 1/2 cup for the candied pineapple.
Butter: If you only have unsalted on hand, just add a 1/2 tsp salt to the dough. Be sure it’s softened to room temperature before creaming.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract gives the best flavor, but imitation vanilla also works.
Eggs: Use large eggs at room temperature for easier mixing.
All-Purpose Flour: Stick with regular all-purpose flour for this one. Bread flour can also work.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Check the expiration date to ensure proper leavening.

Dark brown sugar has a higher molasses content compared to light brown sugar, which intensifies its flavor a little bit and adds extra moisture. Dark brown sugar achieves a deeper caramel-like richness and a chewier texture. And the cookies end up staying soft for just a little bit longer.

Candy-ing the pineapple in these cookies is a crucial step you won’t want to skip. The brown sugar and natural sugars in the fruit work together to caramelize, giving that pretty golden brown color and delicious, warm caramel flavor.

After placing your pineapple rings and cherries on the parchment paper, sprinkle about a spoonful of brown sugar on each ring. Don’t worry if you add a little too much and some brown sugar spills out on the sides. This gives you a nice little crunchy, caramel crisp on the outside that we’re not mad at!

These pretty cookies are practically perfect on their own, but if you want to get creative, we’re all for it. Here are some suggestions for customizing this cookie:

White chocolate chips give extra sweetness and texture; feel free to mix in about a 1/2 cup to the dough.

Sweetened coconut flakes are also a great option to pair with the pineapple. Add about a 1/4 cup to the dough or toast and sprinkle on top.

Refrigerate completely cooled cookies in an airtight container. Cookies stay fresh for 3 to 5 days. 

*These cookies need to be refrigerated due to the pineapple.

Sweet, savory, and irresistibly sticky—Coca-Cola chicken is made easily in one pan.

Crispy chicken thighs are slow-cooked in a sticky-sweet cola sauce made with pantry ingredients and served over veggies or rice.

Chicken: This recipe uses chicken thighs because they make perfect single portions, but skin-on breasts, drumsticks, and chicken wings will all work perfectly.

Coca-Cola Sauce: Any cola product (diet, Dr. Pepper, or root beer) works in this recipe, no need to buy the name brand.

Keep leftover Coca-Cola chicken in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat chicken with sauce on medium-low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to one month and thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Chop up leftovers with extra rice or veggies and make a hearty wrap for school or work, or mix leftovers into an Asian slaw for a light and tangy salad.

This Coca-Cola chicken is a simple, one-pan meal with tender, juicy chicken simmered in a sweet and savory sauce for a deliciously sticky glaze.

Prep Time 25 minutes minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes minutes

1 tablespoon olive oil2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon black pepper½ small yellow onion diced12 ounces cola regular or diet½ cup ketchup1 clove garlic minced1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoon brown sugar½ teaspoon dried oregano½ teaspoon dry mustard powder

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken skin side down and cook just until browned on each side (about 5 minutes). Drain any excess fat.

Combine onions, cola, ketchup, garlic, worcesterchire sauce, brown sugar, oregano, dry mustard powder in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer 15 minutes.

Remove lid, and simmer an additional 25 to 30 minutes turning chicken occasionally until chicken is cooked through and has reached 165°F.

Note: If you’d like a thicker sauce, once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Make a slurry of ⅓ cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Bring sauce to a boil and while whisking, pour in a bit of the slurry at a time to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of it). Allow to boil 1 minute and toss with chicken.

These glazed carrots are a sweet and savory side dish with a buttery, caramelized coating.

Prep Time 15 minutes minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

Servings 4 servings

1 pound carrots cut into ½” x 2″ sticks½ cup water2 tablespoons light brown sugar tightly packed1 ½ tablespoons butter1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey ¼ teaspoon salt plus additional to taste, as neededblack pepper to taste

Combine carrots, water, brown sugar, butter, and maple syrup in a skillet over medium heat.

Stir occasionally until butter is melted. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook 8-10 minutes or until carrots are just becoming tender when pierced with a fork.

Remove lid and turn the heat up to high, continue cooking until water is evaporated and carrots are coated in glaze.

Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

*I recommend using maple syrup but you can substitute honey instead or leave it out entirely for brown sugar glazed carrots.
You can use fresh or frozen, whole or baby carrots for this recipe.
Ensure the carrots are about the same size so they cook evenly, cut the thicker ends in half if needed.
Fresh garden carrots will cook faster than store bought carrots.
You can make glazed carrots in the microwave. Place carrots in a dish and add about 1/2″ of water. Cover and microwave for 6-7 minutes or until carrots are tender. Add glaze ingredients and cook 1-2 minutes more.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Just before serving, fill each egg white with the creamy yolk mixture. A small spoon or piping bag can be used.

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh dill weed.

Prepare hard-boiled eggs using your favorite method. Once cooked, place eggs in a bowl of cold water and ice for at least 5 minutes.

Eggs can be prepared a day in advance. Keep the whites and filling separate until ready to fill. 
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the eggs. If you don’t have a piping bag, place the creamed yolk mixture into a sandwich bag and snip off the corner. Squeeze the mixture into the whites.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Leftover deviled eggs can be mashed and served as an egg salad sandwich.
