We live in a day and age where everybody is constantly on the move. But no matter how hectic your day is, it’s important that you take a breath and enjoy a good, hearty meal. To help you think of some quick dinner ideas, AllFreeCasseroleRecipes.com has provided eight dump and go dishes that will satisfy your appetite.
All of these recipes are super easy to prepare, and are excellent options to whip up on a weeknight. They can be enjoyed all year round, however, they’re especially tasty during these cold winter months. Even though spring is just around the corner, we’ve still got some chilly weather ahead of us. But there’s no better way to warm up than with a freshly made casserole and a good book.
Quick Dinner Ideas
Easy, Cheesy, Ritzy Chicken Casserole (pictured above, left): This dish managed to combine some of my favorite comfort foods: cream of chicken soup, warm pasta, melted cheese and crispy Ritz crackers. All of these classic ingredients in one dish? Who could refuse that?
Ham and Cheese Biscuit Pull-Apart Casserole (pictured above, center): This dump and go recipe takes the classic ham and cheese sandwich and reinvents it into a delightful pull-apart bread. Your parents might have told you not to play with your food, but it’s alright to have a little fun with this meal.
Easy Mexican Chicken Lasagna (pictured above, right): If you’re looking for some quick dinner ideas, this zesty Mexican dish is quite the contender. The combination of soft flour tortillas, cream of mushroom soup and rich nacho cheese makes this meal impossible to resist.
Easy Slow Cooker Meals
Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Casserole (pictured above, left): Six Sisters’ Stuff features a heavenly dish that combines crispy hash browns, cooked ham and stuffing mix. It’s the perfect, comforting meal for a chilly day.
Slow Cooker Ham and Broccoli Casserole (pictured above, right): Broccoli has never tasted better than it does in this dish, mixed in with cream of mushroom soup, melted cheese and ham.
Dump and Go Desserts
Peach Pineapple Dump Cake (pictured above, left): Pineapples, peach pie filling and yellow cake mix make this dump cake recipe insanely easy and tasty.
Dump and Go Cherry Betty (pictured above, center): No mixing is required for this dump cake! This dessert’s layers do all the work in the oven to create a crumbly, bubbly treat.
Peach Cobbler Dump Cake (pictured above, right): This light, fruity dessert only requires four ingredients, and tastes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Marshmallow Apple Pie: Cake really doesn’t taste the same without frosting. This dump cake recipe from Frugality Gal uses roasted marshmallows to create a heavenly, gooey topping.

I really enjoyed this post! Being a college student and also currently studying abroad, time and money is of the utmost importance to me. These dishes definitely are time savers and definitely appeal to the younger generations!
@Eleni, I am currently in your same situation, and quick, good recipes are something I am always ecstatic to learn. I especially love these because it looks like I can use leftovers, or reheat it so it can be both my dinner, and the next day’s lunch, which is a huge relief when I am rushing out the door in the morning.
Same here! These quick and easy recipes are great and one less hassle to deal with as college students. Marshmallow Apple Pie. I just can’t. Sounds too yum. Drooling….
As a college student who is always in a hurry, I am super excited about this post. I am definitely going to try some of these dishes soon! Marshmallow apple pie sounds delicious.
Not only are these quick recipes, but they use a lot of simple ingredients! So many casseroles call for things that I can never find at the grocery store, but these are great. DEFINITELY trying the Easy Mexican Chicken Lasagna– Might even make some homemade guacamole to go with. Thanks!
These look absolutely delicious! I love how they incorporate many different vegetables and healthy protein while not completely sacrificing some of the more indulgent ingredients. I agree with Megan Hambleton; these recipes call for ingredients I don’t have to go out of my way to buy and allow me to easily alter serving sizes. I might even try making several in the beginning of the week and freezing them for the extra convenience. I can’t wait to try them out!
More proof that being busy should not mean sacrificing excellent meals! The Easy, Cheesy Chicken Casserole reminds me of a dish my grandma used to make every Christmas (only her version took nearly all day!) Thanks for helping even us beginner, time-strapped chefs make deliciousness. 🙂
