9 Kid-Friendly Dinners For Halloween Night

From chicken tenders to baked ziti, these kid-friendly Halloween dinners are perfect for fueling up before trick-or-treating.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders

One of my kids’ favorites, these chicken tenders are marinated in seasoned buttermilk and pan-fried to crispy, crunchy perfection.
The Ultimate Chili Recipe

This chili is melt-in-your-mouth tender, thick, and rich. Serve it over rice or scoop it up with tortilla chips.
Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and meatballs easy enough for a busy weeknight — and it’s a family favorite, too!
Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli

Packed with flavor, this pasta dish is quick to make and the whole family gobbles it up, broccoli and all.
Sloppy Joes

These smoky, spicy Sloppy Joes are made completely from scratch (read: no ketchup or seasoning packets).
Chicken Tacos

A healthier spin on traditional beef tacos, these chicken tacos are just as good, if not better.
Baked Ziti with Sausage

This dish is a MAJOR family pleaser. It’s similar to meat lasagna but without the fuss, and it makes a great prep-ahead potluck dish.
Mac and Cheese

I find most homemade mac and cheese recipes to be a bit dry. This version is ultra-creamy and the crispy panko topping makes the dish!
Chicken Meatballs with Tomato-Balsamic Glaze

These baked chicken meatballs make a quick, easy, and kid-friendly supper.
