Dump dinners are the best. If you’re not familiar with the term, they’re meals made by dumping the ingredients in a pot or casserole dish with very minimal prep.

I’ve never understood it… the idea of running out early on holiday celebrations with family to go shopping for Black Friday sale gifts for those same people!

I’m doing my early shopping from the comfort of home on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (which I’ll update Monday morning)…
