RECIPE IDEAS BELOW WITH “HOW TO MAKE IT”, TIPS, INFORMATION AND LINKS TO HOMEMADE VERSIONS

We’re all about Semi Homemade Meals here on SemiHomemadeRecipes.com. It’s not that we don’t love to cook, because we do. However, we also love easy, “throw together meals” that can be put together in a flash.

Sometimes we might be sick, or overworked. Weeknights can be super busy and maybe we’re just tired and suffering from seasonal depression. Whatever the case may be, sometimes we all just need a super easy meal ideas (without using DoorDash or takeout) and that is where we come in!

Quick Dinner Ideas

Below, you’ll find 20 easy and tasty meal ideas that come together with a few simple store bought ingredients. Not only that, but I’ll be linking up some homemade and “from scratch” versions with them so you can make the super easy versions or the homemade versions!

Brunswick Stew and Rice

Stew and Rice

Stew and Rice! This has been a go-to meal since I was little. My mom use to make this for us with regular white rice but we tend to make it with Jasmine rice these days. Thomas actually really loves it with Jasmine Coconut Rice.

To make this easy Stew and Rice, you’ll just need a yellow can Brunswick stew and a bag of Ready Rice or Minute Rice. Heat according to package directions and then serve the stew over the rice.

Want a homemade version? Find a recipe for homemade Brunswick stew aka fire department strew here.

Roasted Chicken at Home KFC

Chicken Slaw Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

Homemade KFC! Ok, well it’s not 100% KFC because we’re using roasted chicken here but you can obviously grab a bucket of fried chicken from the grocery store or grab some fried chicken tenders from the frozen food section.

Heat up the chicken, make the instant mashed potatoes according to the package, heat up the green beans and serve with slaw. You could even toss in a few biscuits too.

If you have leftover chicken you could use it for topping a salad the next day

Want a homemade version?

Garlic Shrimp and Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Shrimp Pasta and Red Lobster Biscuits

It’s like going to the seafood restaurant but at home! Whip up the Garlic Shrimp according to the package direction and then serve with the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

This meal could also be served with rice or pasta with a side salad to make it an even bigger meal.

I don’t make a ton of these Bird’s Eye Voila meals anymore because we don’t have the freezer space for the big bags but we use to make the Birds Eye Voila! Garlic Chicken and Birds Eye Voila! Three Cheese Chicken a lot! I actually have a homemade version of the cheesy chicken pasta here.

Want a homemade version?

Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potato and Pulled Pork

This dinner idea is super easy to make. These Pulled Pork packets are easy to heat and serve.

Prick the outsides of the sweet potatoes with a fork. Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil, add a teaspoon or tablespoon of butter to the inside of each packet. Pre-heat oven to 500°F. Bake the sweet potatoes for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once they are done (test them with a fork to see if they are tender)

Split the sweet potatoes open, heat the pulled pork and add it to the potatoes.

DIY At home Chick-fil-A and Fries – Chick-fil-A Nuggets and Chick-fil-A Sandwiches

Members Mark Southern Chicken Bites and Waffle Fries

These Chicken Bites and Chicken Sandwiches from Member’s Mark are amazing and taste so much like Chick-fil-A! We find them at Sam’s Club in the freezer section!

They’re perfect for a DIY Stay at home version of Chick-fil-A and even better when you buy a bottle of the sauce! You can find Chick-Fil-A Sauce and their Polynesian Chick-Fil-A Sauce at Food Lion and Target (maybe even Walmart but I’m not sure)

Members Mark Southern Chicken sandwich and Waffle Fries

Want a homemade version?

Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Grilled Cheese

Panera Broccoli and Cheddar Soup and Grilled CHeese

I love soup and I could eat soup all year long. There is just something very comforting and easy about having a cup of soup and 1/2 sandwich for a meal.

The “heat at home” Panera Broccoli and Cheddar soup from the grocery store is great with a grilled cheese but you could change it up for any kind of soup and sandwich.

Want a homemade version?

Homemade and Broccoli and Cheese Soup recipe here

Ps. did you know that there is an ENTIRE website dedicated to grilled cheese sandwiches? You can find that grilled cheese website here!

Cheeseburgers with Pasta Salad and Baked Beans

Cheeseburgers Suddenly Salad pasta salad and baked beasn

Cheeseburgers and sides! A classic summertime dinner that can really be enjoyed any time of year! Grilled burgers, oven baked burgers, skillet burgers and air fryer burgers are all perfect for this meal.

A lot of times you can find pre-pattied burgers near the ground beef at the grocery store so you don’t even need to get your hands dirty.

Just top your burger or cheese burger with you favorite toppings like:

  • cheese
  • lettuce
  • mayo
  • ketchup
  • onions
  • lettuce
  • mustard
  • pickles

Then serve them up with super easy sides like Suddenly Salad Pasta Salad and Canned Baked beans.

My friend, Tara, introduced me to suddenly salad probably 15 years ago when we lived on the military base and I’ve loved it every since. I don’t make it very much because Thomas isn’t crazy about pasta salad but it is good!

Also, when it comes to baked beans from a can, Bush’s Vegetarian beans are amazing. You would think the brown sugar or classic would be the best but the vegetarian baked beans are fantastic. However, of course you pick the beans you like the best.

Want a homemade version?

Beef and Broccoli with Jasmine Rice

P.F. Chang's Beef With Broccoli and jasmine rice

Beef and Broccoli with Jasmine Rice is one of Thomas’ favorite things to make when it is his turn to cook dinner. It’s easy and pretty much just a pour in a pan and heat type of meal.

Just heat the Beef and Broccoli according to the package direction and then serve with the heated jasmine rice for a super simple meal.

Want a homemade version?

Semi Homemade Penne Alla Vodka and Salad

Bertolli Vodka Sauce, Penne Pasta and Dole Caesar Salad Kit

Pasta and Salad but make it “fancy” with vodka sauce.

A jar of heated vodka sauce, cooked penne pasta and a side salad is a great meal for weekdays and you could even add some grilled chicken to it.

Want a homemade version?

Steaks with Baked Potatoes and Cheesy Broccoli

Steak plus baked potato and cheesy broccoli

A classic favorite! Steaks and sides. Cook your favorite steak on the grill, in the oven or in a skillet and then serve it with a baked potato and cheesy broccoli!

My sister in law, Meghan, serves steaks with baked potatoes, Lima or green beans and salad!

Need some help in the kitchen with these?

Roasted Chicken with Mac & Cheese, and Honey Glazed Carrots

Chicken Mac and Cheese and Honey Carrots

Chicken and sides! A rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and a few simple sides like Mac and cheese with some honey glazed carrots gets dinner on the table in a snap! We had a lot of meals like this growing up with a meat and vegetables on the side.

You could also serve things like canned peas (which we got a lot of as kids haha), corn on the cob, creamed spinach or cauliflower rice.

Want a homemade version?

Here are some of our favorite recipes from my other blog, BigBearsWife.com

Ps. if you want to make boxed mac and cheese but want to jazz it up a bit, check out “10 Ways to Change Up Boxed Mac and Cheese“

Super Easy Spaghetti

Spaghetti - Ground Beef, hunts four cheese and pasta

This was my dad’s go to meal when he cooked dinner for us growing up. I’m sure his spaghetti sauce was a little bit fancier but let me tell you, this Hunt’s sauce is so good! Just ground the beef, add it to the hot sauce and add that to cooked spaghetti! You could even serve some garlic bread or garlic knots on the side.

My dad prefers Jarred Rao’s Homemade sauce now when making a quick spaghetti!

Want a homemade version?

Easy Chili and Cornbread

Chili and Corn Bread , ground beef, Chiki magic, diced tomatoes, cornbread mix, milk and egg

Great for cool evenings but to be honest, I’d eat it anytime. The Bush’s Chili Magic helps you make a quick chili with a pound of ground beef and diced tomatoes. Great served with a quick cornbread

Want a homemade version?

Hamburger Helper and Garlic BreadSticks

Hamburger helper and Breadsticks

A classic “go-to” dinner when you don’t have the energy to really cook but want to get something good on the table. Hamburger helper is great on its own or served with breadsticks!

Want a homemade version?

Cheeseburger Macaroni Skillet – Homemade Hamburger Helper

Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Mac & Cheese

Meatloaf plus mashed potatoes and mac and cheese

Now this is a southern staple meal! But make it semi homemade by grabbing a premade meatloaf in the chilled section of the grocery store and whip up some instant mashed potatoes and boxed mac and cheese!

Want a homemade version?

Semi Homemade Meatball Subs and Chips

Meatballs, Sauce, Bread and Cheese plus chips

When I was younger, I remember going to SUBWAY a lot after church on Sundays for lunch. Back then SUBWAY was super popular and my all time favorite sub was their meatball sub.

They’re super easy to make at home. Just heat the meatballs, add to hot pasta sauce, scoop into rolls and top with cheese! Serve with bagged chips and you’re ready to go!

Want a homemade version?

Semihomemade Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry

Birds Eye Stir Fry Veggies and Sauce + Perdue Chicken Breast (1)

Two Bags into one meal! Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry in a flash! Just cook the stir fry according to the package directions (normally it’s just heating the sauce and veggies in a skillet on the stove) and then toss in some hot grilled chicken strips! Serve it as is or serve over rice for a quick weeknight dinner!

Want a homemade version?

Fish and Chips

Beer Battered Fish and Steak Fries

Fish and Chips always reminds me of Disney World! I know, it’s odd but the England pavilion in Epcot in has a shop called “Yorkshire County Fish Shop” and it serves some of the best fish and chips. Oh and yes, chips are fries in this case!

I’m not normally a fan of fish from the freezer department (like the premade and bagged kind) but the Gorton’s beer battered fish fillet are delicious! Heat them up in the oven and serve them with thick cut fries and a side of ketchup or hot sauce for dipping!

Want a homemade version?

Tacos and Mexican Rice

Tacos and Rice A Roni Mexican Style Rice

Taco Tuesday Anyone??? Ok, we don’t have to only have tacos on Tuesday! We can have them any time of the week and they’re great for a quick meal. You can find taco kits in the grocery store of you can just grab a box of hard taco shells or a bag of soft taco shells and fill them with your favorite taco stuffings!

Tacos are so easy to make and everyone can top them with their favorite toppings. A true people pleaser meal! We actually did a Taco Bar for my son’s 1st first birthday party and it was fantastic.

What to stuff a taco with:

  • Ground Beef seasoned with taco seasoning
  • Shredded chicken with taco seasoning
  • shredded cheese
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • sour cream
  • hot sauce

Serve tacos with a side of Mexican rice and dinner is done.

Want a homemade version of Mexican rice? I have a recipe for that!

10 Ways to Change Up Boxed Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese may be my all time favorite food. If I had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life it would most likely be macaroni and cheese!

Boxed, Homemade or semi homemade, I love them all. However, sometimes plain ol’ mac and cheese can get boring. If you’re looking for a little something extra to add to your boxed mac and cheese, I’ve got some ideas for you! Plus I’ve got a few ideas for meals that you can ADD mac and cheese on top of!

10 Ways to Change Up Boxed Mac and Cheese

Easy & Simple Directions are with each idea BUT if it is a more detailed recipe I’ll have a link to it as well.

Mac and Cheese

What kind of boxed mac and cheese should I use?

Use your favorite boxed mac and cheese for these ideas! It could be Kraft Mac and cheese, Velveeta or Annies! Even gluten free boxed mac and cheese would work for these!

Mac and Cheese with Peas!

Mac and Cheese with Peas!

I love mac and cheese with peas and it’s so easy to make. Once you’ve made the boxed mac and cheese, just stir in canned or thawed frozen green peas into the macaroni and cheese!

Mac and Cheese with Bacon!

Once you’ve made the boxed mac and cheese, stir in premade bacon bits OR cooked bacon that has been drained and chopped.

Mac and Cheese with Bacon!
Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli!

Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli!

We’re turning mac and cheese into an entire meal just by adding some chicken and broccoli to it. You can use leftover chicken, home cooked chicken, frozen chicken strips that you’ve cooked or rotisserie chicken.

For the broccoli, you can use steamed fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli that has been heated.

If you’re interested in a homemade version of this recipe, I have a homemade Chicken and Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese recipe on BigBearsWife.com

Mac and Cheese with Hot Dogs!

A classic kid favorite!

Boiled, grilled or skillet cooked hot dogs will work for this. Just cook up some hot dogs, slice them into coins and then mix them into your mac and cheese.

(For a crispy top, pop the mac and cheese under the broiler for 2-3 minutes)

Mac and Cheese with Hot Dogs!
Mac and Cheese with Peas and Pearl onions.

Mac and Cheese with Peas and Pearl onions.

I’m not normally a fan of onions UNLESS they are pearls onions! I grew up eating green peas and pearl onions as a side dish and they’re so good together.

Mix canned/drained green peas and pearl onions into prepared mac and cheese.

(For a crispy topping, add toasted breadcrumbs OR crushed French fried onions to the top of the mac and cheese. )

Mac and Cheese with diced tomatoes!

Make boxed mac and cheese according to directions.

Stir in 1 small can diced tomatoes (drained) while mac and cheese is still super hot.
