Back-To-School Dinner Challenge: Day 5

By Hilary Meyer, August 26, 2011 - 10:58am

A little planning can go a long way when it comes to weeknight meals. I’m a big fan of casseroles for dinner because you can make them ahead and have them in your fridge or freezer ready to go. If you don’t have time to make a casserole ahead of time, you can still throw one together easily on a weeknight in a skillet like in this Skillet Tuna Noodle Casserole (known as Tuna-Pea Wiggle to some). Casseroles in a skillet require very little clean up since they’re cooked in one dish. So whether you make one ahead or choose a skillet version, casseroles can save you precious time. And who doesn’t love casseroles?
