Here are some quick and easy dinners anyone can make. These dinners don’t call for too much effort or cooking skill, so try them all!

1. Spaghetti
I’m sure spaghetti is a staple in most households. It’s one of those meals that you can really keep easy. Start with boiling your noodles, then brown some ground beef and add some sauce. You can also try to make your own sauce. Even with a good recipe or a little practice, it should be a cinch!

2. Chicken noodle soup
My family likes chicken noodle soup and I cook it for dinner very often. It’s really quick and easy to make. Usually, I have some cooked chicken leftover, but if I don’t, I buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store.
So, take the chicken and add it to a pot with chopped onion, celery, and carrots, then fill the whole thing up with water and chicken broth. When the soup starts to boil, add the noodles and continue to cook until the soup is done.

4. Roast beef
Many people make roast beef look very complex and delicious, but if you have a good, slow cooker it’s not difficult at all. Cut up some carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery. Place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Now season your meat with a little salt, garlic, and pepper. I like to add some Worcestershire sauce to it, so you can try it too.
