There’s a burger franchise in Hawaii coffee Cheeseburger in Paradise. Yummy
Awesome recipes, Mel👍❤️👍
I would have poured the meat mix into the shells!
Love these videos. Please keep them coming. 😊
This was a home run.
Thank you so much!
I'm disabled and cook sitting on a bar stool. Fast and easy is my way of cooking. These all look great.
Impossible cheeseburger pie!! My mom made it often when i was a kid . Thanks for all your recipes!!
You are so welcome! And I just love that recipe!
I've been in and out of the hospital for the past few months and unable to cook. My husband got in the kitchen the other night and fried me up some green tomatoes. I seen your squash and it made me think of it so I thought I'd brag on my man a little bit. 😁
You have a sweet husband pray you feel better soon I have been in and out of hospital too with Pancreatitis I don’t know how I would manage without my husband ❤
I hope you are doing better now, and what a great hubby - he deserves to be bragged on! I know he is taking good care of you.
Glad you have a good one taking care of you too friend, and hope you are doing better too.
@@mimiscountrycooking1607 I'm about to go back in, not happy about it. Hope you are doing well. Sometimes husbands are great

I'm so glad that little tip helped you out, sometimes it's just the smallest little things that help the most LOL

You gotta try the Aldi's brand of sauce called PRIANO.
Four Cheese PRIANO
is the best sauce, in my book! You'll never buy anything else!
Thanks, I will have to give it a try!
Love all your videos 😊
You're the best! Thanks so much Scott!
Thank you
I plan on making all of these. Thanks Mel
You're so welcome!
My son-in-law taught me the paper towel trick to blot up the grease. 😀
This crock pot lasagna is delicious and easy!!! I've made it before and it's great!!!
It really is, I just love all the frozen filled pastas, they are such a help!
Have a great 4th of July. Love watching your videos.

Always look forward to joining you in the kitchen. By the way the dark top you have on really works well with your complexion
Thank you, I really like black but sometimes I can't carry it off LOL
Great ideas and video!!❤😊
Thank you!! 😊
My mom used to make the Bisquick pie but she would use left over taco meat and put green chilies on it with the cheese and Bisquick mixture. It is amazing!
Sounds good ❤
I have to make that Cheeseburger in Paradise casserole. I bet we would love it! It's fried squash and fried green tomato season! YUM. I don't like tomato's ripe, but I absolutely love them green and fried. Hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July week! God bless America, and God bless ya'll!
Fried Green tomatoes are my favorite.

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel yours looks great!! I’ve never made 2 layers. It’s delicious with mushrooms in it. My coworker put bacon in her tomato pie. I might try that too.
@@lynnwarren6127 I would love bacon 🥓 😋
Love the recipes that are easy. After a long day at work it's good to have a quick easy meal.
AMEN, these are the recipes I made for years as a working Momma!
Chicken and stuffing casseroles are good. There's a lot of different recipes out there on these cooking channels. It looks like you've put yours together in a way that looks very good and affordable. Thank you for posting >> your recipe..
Hi Mel! I enjoy being all fancy in my cooking, and I also enjoy these easy comforting recipes. And, cooking with you is one of my favorite things.
I love all of these recipes!
Thank you for sharing with us! 💜
Awh how sweet, thank you - I feel like we are all here together cooking when I film, too!

I loved this quick and easy meals video. Thanks momma mel for all your help ❤
You are so welcome!
Where have I been? I just found your channel! I knew you were from my neck of the woods, the minute I heard you talk. You are just adorable! I love the channel and the recipes! So glad I found you! 🥰
Ah, thank YOU so much for your kind words and I am SO HAPPY that you are here! I hope you find lots of good food, fun, and encouragement here in this community - we have the most wonderful friends!

Thank you so much and I am so happy that my videos are helping you!
Now that looks delicious.
It was! Thanks so much for watching!
Wow, these all look amazing and easy! I'm going to give these recipes to my two 20 something year old boys that share a house together. They are beginner cooks and always looking for quick and easy recipes. Thanks so much for all you do and all the great recipes you share on your channel! I am a forever subscriber!
Thanks so much and these are perfect for them, these are the recipes I cut my teeth on learning to feed my family!
Quick, delicious, comforting recipes. Thank you so much, Mel! The taco mac and cheese is right up my alley. I make a similar ravioli dish except its baked in the oven. Your crock pot version looks awesome. The cheeseburger dish looks so good. Omg I have got to try the chicken casserole!! I know the addition of the stuffing takes it over the top. Btw, thanks to you, I tried canned chicken for the first time!!! It's really good and I was pleasantly surprised. Just wish I would have tried it years ago. Better late than never, I guess. I really appreciate all of the hard work you do to constantly bring us so many delicious recipes. You are a true blessing. I hope you have a beautiful and blessed week. 💖
thank you so much Mary, and I'm so happy that you enjoyed canned chicken. It's really a time saver and so helpful for cooking smaller portions too!
Loved these recipes. Quick, easy and different from what I have seen I love to cook and enjoy more in depth meals, but sometimes I just want quick and easy. 😊
Glad you like them! And I feel the same way, sometimes you just need something quick, good and done LOL
AWESOME Video Mel, 👌🎉😊 WINNER DINNERS! 👏 Thanks for giving me My Menu for the rest of the week, I'm so Excited 😊 Take care and GOD BLESS You and your family 💗🙏
You're so welcomed, glad to help out 😊
These look so good…
Make sure and vote in November if you want change in this country.
Yes for sure Pray and Vote ❤
Excellent Job MEL -THANKS SO MUCH ❤
You are so welcome
They all look awesome!
Thanks so much!
Try spreading with Pistachio Nut Spread that I found at Walmart and put sliced strawberries on top, or experiment with different fruits. I’ve put on croissants and Dave’s 21 Grains Bread toasted.
Yum 😋
Hello from California! We do love our avocados 🥑 Have a blessed week!
They are delicious!
That Perdue Short Cuts Chicken is so good. I use it on food shopping days. After you go get it, haul it in, and put it away, nobody feels like cooking. So I get a few big Cesar Salad kits, throw the chicken in and boom dinner is done!!!!
Love this idea ❤
I approach shopping day exactly the same way! Love it!
Thanks for delicious recipes!
My pleasure 😊
This was great! Thank you, thank you!!!
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!

I can't wait to make all of these. I live in Arizona, and I don't want to use my oven in the summer. It was 112 degrees yesterday 😢 But I saved them for when it cools down.❤Thank ❤

Hey sweet friend. How are you doing today?! We're continuing to pray for you and your family.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Hey Friend,i'm ok just crying a lot even though i know the Lord had it in his hands,i hope you're doing well.
@@berthabyrd6898 aw, I'm sorry. Sending hugs to you, friend. I'm doing pretty good, just relaxing. We worked a little bit on our lawn today.
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Thnx for the air hugs,please don't get to hot and take care
@berthabyrd6898 you're welcome, friend. Oh, I won't. I'm burning up. One of my new medicines is causing hot flashes and insomnia. You take care too, friend. I'm sure I'll see you on one of our favorite UA-camr's again soon. We watch a lot of the same ladies.
Yes keep it up
I usually don't comment on anything you do because I love your cooking show
but why didn't you put the hamburger in the pot with the macaroni and cheese where you had more room plus you wouldn't have wasted all that cheese left in the pot
just curious for your opinion on this❤
Good question 🤣who knows - I guess I just committed myself to doing it that way LOL But you can bet I won't do it this way again LOL
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel you're too sweet thank you for your videos
Hello Mama Mel, Thanks for sharing all of the good looking recipes.I always enjoy watching you cook.Keep my family in prayer,my husband lost his sister this morning.My birthday is tomorrow, I am going to make the best of it even though we;ve had a loss.

I am so very sorry, sending prayers and my condolences. I hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow in spite of the circumstances 💗

Another great video of delicious meals. I loved this style of video. We had French onion chicken over mashed potatoes with green beans and sliced tomato tonight. It was so delicious.
Sounds delicious 🙏🏾❤️
Just found your videos...love! The "Stella's Chicken Casserole", can you make this in crock pot?
Welcome! So glad you're here and I am sure it would translate perfectly in the crock pot!
Pour the meat into the shells and cheese....it's bigger with a lid.
I wondered about that myself!
Yummy compilation! I love these videos!
