The Best Back to School Dinners

The Best Back-to-School Dinners for your busy weeknights. 30 minute dinner recipes, slow cooker recipes, kid-friendly casseroles, soup & chili recipes, and Instant Pot recipes. All these are family tested and approved. The best collection for quick and simple recipes, and dump & go recipes for weeknight dinners.

THE BEST BACK TO SCHOOL DINNER RECIPES

Every time August comes around (hello back to school 🙂 ) this post for the best dinner recipes is always so popular. I can see why! Cause if y’all are like me then you are gearing up for those crazy, hectic, and sometimes stressful weeknights once the kids are in school again. No more lazy days of summer!

I wanted to reorganize this list of dinners to make it easier to navigate. I also separated them out into categories:

30 Minute Dinner Recipes
Kid-Friendly Casserole Recipes
Soup & Chili Recipes
Instant Pot Recipes
Slow Cooker Recipes

My #1 goal for this food blog of mine is to help families eat together. I think it’s so important to eat together even during the busy weeknights. Maybe not everyone is there. Or maybe it’s picking up fast food or take-out and eating that together. Trust me we’ve done the fast food thing more times than I can count. But you know what? It’s ok!

I have personally hand-picked only the best recipes that are quick & easy (30 minute dinners), dump & go slow cooker recipes, Instant Pot recipes, kid-friendly casseroles, and easy soup and chili recipes.

I have made each of these recipes more times than I can count and I know your family will love them too ♥

  Thank you SO much! You're so sweet. I am so glad the burritos were a hit. We love them too :) Even with all the food being made in my kitchen, I still make all these dinners at least monthly. They are our favorites so I hope they help!

  Summer always goes way too fast. We don't start school here until after labor day this year so I guess we still have a bit :)
