We all need at least one trusted GO-TO easy peasy meal……make it a one-pot meal and you’ve struck gold. Dinner on the table in 30 minutes AND only one dish to clean up at the end of the day?! I’m in!!

Do you ever miss some of your summer favorites in the cold months? Winter is full of cozy comfort foods, but why do we need to miss out on foods like barbecue and baked beans just because it’s cold outside? I love the idea of putting a winter spin on a summertime classic. In this Fried BBQ Chicken Skillet all of the flavors of summer just blend together and create a satisfying cozy meal.

Yes, baked beans aretypically a summer side, but I love to serve BUSH’S® Homestyle Baked Beans alongside steak, fried chicken or even eat them right out of the can snuggled in a warm blanket around the fireplace.

Cozy Dinner TableTips:

The dinner table is where we gather to share meals with loved ones, laugh, talk about life and dream of the future…it is the place where some of my family’s most beautifulmemories have been made. Nothing beats a chilly winter evening when the nightsare long, with a roaring fireto keep our home toasty and warm.

Why not warm up the dinner table as well. It doesn’t have to be fancy……just throw a cozy blanket or scarf over the table, gather a few candles from around the house (I even stuck some battery powered lights in a jar to set the table aglow) and dim the lights.

Even if it’s just our immediate family, I love to play music while I’m fixing dinner and while we enjoy our meal. Create your own playlist, or check out my Cozy Dinner playlist below.

I have worked with Bush’s Beans for about 6 years now, and I love how the partnership has inspired me to cook with beans in ways I never would have thought of in the past, like Apple Spice Muffins with Baked Beans, Pumpkin Chiliand this Fried BBQ Chicken Skillet just to name a few! What’s your favorite way to use beans? Do you have a summer favorite that you like to winterize?
