1:23
a quick stir. Then, finish baking until

1:32

Then, layer on black beans, corn, and
1:38
diced tomatoes with green chilies. Pour

powder and add vegetable broth. Stir

2:17
food made effortless. Craving a dish
2:19
that's both comforting and
2:20
sophisticated? Look no further. For a
2:23
touch of elegance and incredible ease,
2:25
make this dump and bake Tuscan white
2:27
bean pasta. It's a delightful one pan
2:29
wonder that brings the flavors of
2:31
Tuscanany right to your table. Begin by
2:34
combining uncooked rotini, the star of
2:36
our pasta bake, directly into your
2:38
baking dish. No pre-cooking required.
2:40
Next, add drained canolini beans. These
2:43
creamy white beans provide a wonderful
2:45
texture and a boost of protein to our
2:47
dish. Don't forget the sundried tomatoes
2:49
with a splash of their oil. They bring a
2:52
concentrated burst of sweet and tangy
2:53
flavor that perfectly compliments the
2:55
beans and pasta. The oil adds richness.
2:58
Now, generously add a large handful of
3:00
fresh spinach in your dish. It wilts
3:02
down beautifully during baking, adding a
3:04
vibrant green color and a healthy dose
3:06
of vitamins. Pour in the vegetable
3:08
broth, which will cook the pasta and
3:10
create a flavorful sauce, followed by a
3:12
bit of cream for added richness and a
3:14
velvety texture. Season generously with
3:17
garlic powder, oregano, and a pinch of
3:19
red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
3:21
Feel free to adjust the amount of red
3:23
pepper to your liking. Stir everything
3:25
together, ensuring that all the
3:27
ingredients are well combined and the
3:29
pasta is evenly distributed in the
3:31
liquid. Cover the dish tightly with foil
3:34
and bake until the pasta is tender and
3:36
has absorbed most of the liquid. You'll
3:38
know it's ready when the spinach melts
3:40
into the creamy sauce, creating a
3:42
luscious and flavorful base for the
3:43
pasta. Finally, finish with a generous
3:47
squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a
3:48
bright, zesty touch. This simple
3:51
addition elevates the dish, creating a
3:53
truly Mediterranean inspired meal that's
3:55
both satisfying and delicious.
3:58
Are you craving the delicious flavors of
4:00
takeout, but want a healthier homemade
4:02
option? Look no further. With our dump
4:04
and baked teriyak chicken and rice
4:06
recipe, you can enjoy a satisfying and
4:08
flavorful meal with minimal effort. This
4:11
recipe is perfect for busy week nights
4:13
when you want a delicious dinner without
4:14
the fuss. Begin by spreading rinsed
4:17
white rice evenly in your baking dish.
4:19
Make sure the rice covers the entire
4:21
bottom of the dish for even cooking.
4:23
Next, it's time to add the flavor. Pour
4:25
over a generous mix of your favorite
4:27
teriyak sauce. The teriyaki sauce will
4:30
infuse the rice and chicken with its
4:32
signature sweet and savory taste. Add
4:34
chicken broth, which will help cook the
4:36
rice to fluffy perfection and keep the
4:38
chicken moist. Enhance the flavor
4:40
profile further with a splash of soy
4:42
sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
4:44
These ingredients add depth and
4:46
complexity to the teriyak sauce. Now,
4:49
let's add some veggies. Add broccoli
4:50
fuates for a pop of color and added
4:52
nutrients, followed by sliced carrots,
4:55
which contribute sweetness and a
4:56
satisfying crunch. Gently nestle raw
4:59
chicken thighs on top of the rice and
5:00
vegetables. The chicken will cook
5:02
alongside the rice, absorbing all the
5:04
delicious flavors. Cover the dish
5:06
tightly with foil and bake in a
5:08
preheated oven. Bake until the rice is
5:10
tender and fluffy and the chicken is
5:12
cooked through and beautifully juicy.
5:15
Once cooked, uncover the dish and brush
5:17
the chicken with an extra layer of
5:18
teriyak sauce for added flavor and
5:20
shine. To achieve that irresistible
5:23
glossy finish, broil for a few minutes,
5:25
keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
5:27
Before serving, garnish generously with
5:30
sesame seeds for a nutty flavor and
5:32
chopped green onions for a fresh,
5:34
vibrant touch. And just like that,
5:36
dinner is done. Enjoy your easy,
5:38
delicious, and satisfying dump and bake
5:40
teriyak chicken and rice. For rustic
5:42
comfort, try this dump and bake sausage,
5:45
peppers, and potatoes. Toss chopped bell
5:47
peppers, onions, and baby potatoes with
5:49
olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano in
5:51
your baking dish. Scatter sliced
5:54
pre-cooked Italian sausage on top. Bake
5:56
uncovered until everything is golden and
5:58
caramelized. It's a hands-off,
6:00
flavor-packed meal that tastes like it
6:02
cooked all day. End on a cozy note with
6:05
dump and bake cheesy broccoli rice
6:07
casserole. Add uncooked rice and frozen
6:09
broccoli to your dish. Then stir in
6:11
condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk,
6:13
and chicken broth. Season, mix, and fold
6:16
in half the cheddar cheese. Top with the
6:18
rest of the cheese. Cover and bake until
6:20
creamy and bubbly. It's classic comfort
6:22
made easier than ever. There you have
6:25
it. Seven dump and baked dinners to make
6:27
