I have put together a quick roundup of super easy family dinner ideas that are inexpensive and easy to make. Most of these recipes are made using a few ingredients (kid-friendly stuff only) and are meals you can have on the table quickly and easily. Perfect dinner ideas for busy weeknights.

easy peasy snack recipes for kids too if you need some!) So here is hoping that at least one of these fun recipes becomes a kid favorites meal in your house.

This quick pizza bake casserole is a super easy kid-friendly recipe worth saving. All you need to make this recipe are refrigerator biscuits, pizza sauce, and some mozzarella cheese.
Of course, you can add in any extra pizza toppings kids love like pepperoni. But even without any extra toppings, this

Ahh, to me, this
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups recipe is like the queen of comfort food! Lasagna noodles covered in creamy Alfredo garlic sauce and filled with chicken (if you prefer a vegetarian option, skip the chicken. The creamy Alfredo garlic sauce and mozzarella cheese will keep you plenty happy. Like, really really happy.)
Make this casserole a day ahead, so it will be ready to pop in the oven the next night for a delicious hearty family dinner.
