1. Mushroom and Cabbage Casserole
This cheesy veggie casserole is quick and easy to prepare and is a warming comfort meal for a cold evening.
2. Beef Stew
Living in Ireland, I adore a hearty beef stew as a wintery dinner. You can adapt the stew to include your family’s favorite vegetables and meal prep a huge stew to last all through the week when you need a speedy dinner.
3. Broccoli Cheese Soup
This broccoli cheese soup is creamy and warming and makes an easy meal when you feel like something lighter for dinner.
4. Chicken Bake
This is our best ever chicken bake. My kids ask for it regularly and since there are only a few ingredients and it couldn’t be easier to prepare – I’m happy to oblige.
5. Sausage Casserole
Another family favorite, this sausage casserole is a different way to enjoy budget friendly sausages as a winter dinner.
6. Chicken Soup With Drumsticks
Making chicken soup with drumsticks is a speedy way to create the nourishing soup. I make it regularly through winter and also through the year when the family is coldy.
7. Egg Roll In A Bowl
I often meal prep egg roll in a bowl for dinner or for a work lunch and store the meal in portions in my favorite glass storage containers. (Here they are on Amazon.)
It’s just so easy to make this flavorful dish ahead of time and re-heat when needed.
8. Breakfast For Dinner
All through the year breakfast for dinner is a brilliant quick meal. You can make scrambled eggs, a fry up or the above pictured pizza omelette as a super quick dinner.
9. Roast Lamb
A leg of lamb or roast chicken is our staple Sunday Winter dinner. We adore ours roasted with plenty of vegetables too.
10. Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage
And finally, since moving to Ireland I’ve learn the secrets to making the perfect authentic Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage. It’s really easy and makes a wonderfully warming winter dinner.
