Philly makes dinner easy. How? Every meal is filled with Philly flavor, turns out rich and creamy, and brings the family to the table in less than 25 minutes. Each one of these dishes will have you and your brood saying, “Yum.”
Best Veggie Burgers
I love to sink my teeth into a good burger, even when that burger is composed of veggies. This recipe indulges the herbivore in all of us.
Microwave Chicken Enchiladas
A great meal, inspired by our neighbors to the south. You can’t ever go wrong with a dish that’s bursting with flavor and spice.
Creamy Spinach Ravioli
This is probably my favorite pasta dish. It alwyas looks so prestine, no matter how it’s served up. Add some spinach and Philly and you’ve got a dish, with class, in less than 20 minutes.
Swordfish with Leek Cream
Fish is always an easy dish to do. Add this Philly infused leek cream sauce and make an “easy meal” look like it took all day to create.
One-Pan Meatball Stroganoff
This is the perfect main dish. It will be the star of dinner. Serve up tasty sides like mashed potatoes and brocioli to give your family a well balanced meal.

Earlier this week I caught a whiff of garlic bread, during lunch, which made me want some lasagna. It’s three days later and I haven’t been able to shake to longing for layered pasta drenched in marinara and over run with cheese. Then I got to thinking, I wonder how it would taste with the addition of cream cheese. So, here you have my latest creation; Cheesy Philly Lasagna. I hope it hits the spot.
Cheesy Philly Lasagna
9 lasagna noodles
12 ounces ricotta cheese
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup Parmesan
1 (8-ounce) Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 cup mozzarella, grated
2 jars of marinara
1 clove of garlic, diced
1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley leaves
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1-1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
COOK crumbled ground beef in a saucepan; with garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and season salt; until no pink remains, then drain off the fat.
MIX 12 ounces ricotta cheese with 1 beaten egg and 1/2 cup Parmesan.
BOIL lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
LAYER lasagna in a 9×13x2 inch pan as follows: marinara sauce, 3 lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, meat, mozzarella, and dots of Philly cream cheese. Repeat layering until there are 3 layers in pan. Top with remaining marinara.
COVER pan with aluminum foil and place in oven, to bake for 20 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes remove foil and add remaining mozzarella on top. replace foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
SERVE while still gooey and hot.
