Have your kids started school yet? I don’t know about your newsfeed on Facebook, but mine has been loaded with back to school pictures this week. Crazy how different states start at such different times though!
My kids start school next week and with that comes homework, busy nights, after school activities, and more! Dinner prep becomes something I try to do earlier in the day, and of course….casseroles get added to the meal plan! Casseroles are easy to prep, and are “set it and forget it” easy to cook!

This Back To School Casserole is a home run, and is so easy to prepare it almost won’t feel like cooking dinner!
This Back to School Casserole is packed with pasta, chicken, and veggies. Add some rolls or fruit and its a full meal!
I tend to use rotini pasta in this, but whatever you have on hand works as well! If you prefer a certain veggie, use that in place of the mixed veggies it calls for. There are endless ways of changing this one up to suit your most picky family member!

The best part of all, it takes little to no prep and can be made ahead of when needed. I tend to make this earlier in the day and simply pop into the oven come dinnertime. We almost always have leftovers (unless having tons of people over), so we get to enjoy this for lunch or dinner again the next day!
Even my kids enjoy this, so I would say its safe to call this “kid approved”!
Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think! Hope all the kids have a wonderful school year ahead!
