I could live on pot pies. You can basically throw any thing you want in it. Use pre-made pie crusts and 'pie tops' (you know, the top of the pie :) They freeze and transport really well.

First, I am sorry for what you are going thru. I know how hard it can be. Hugs to all of you.

I made this yesterday and it was fast easy and very tasty.

Basically brown hamburger season with salt pepper onion and garlic then add in a can of sauce I used enchilada instead of tomato and added in some Jalapeno instead of cilantro cause I had it on hand. But basically you can season the meat anyway your family likes it. Fry some hash-browns in a pan while the meat is browning. Layer hash-browns, meat and cheese on top, you can broil it but you could just as easily pop it in the microwave when you get to the hospice to melt the cheese.

If you are allowed to use your slow-cooker at the hospice, you could easily fill it with whatever sounds good - soup, chili, beef stew, pot roast, chicken dishes - and let it cook at the hospice while you spend time together. Easy to make into a fuller meal with bagged salad greens and rolls or whatever would suit the slow cooker dish you've chosen. Alternatively, you could cook something in your slow cooker at home and let it stay warm in the slow cooker at the hospice. If your family member or others at the hospice are not sensitive to food smells or if there is a separate kitchen, this could be a good way to have some really comforting meals on hand. Take care of yourselves.

Chili does well in a crock pot and freezes well, you can find easy recipes simply by googling. Chicken soup in the crockpot will freeze well, just don't add the noodles until you are ready to eat. I have found that potatos don't hold up well to freezing and thawing.

This has cheese, but it's not a lot over the entire dish. Except for cooking the rice (which you could do the night before) it's incredibly quick to toss together into a casserole. Plus it freezes really well.

Bean & Rice Casserole (makes 6 - 8 servings)

1 15oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 10oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 cup fat-free sour cream
1 cup (8 oz) salsa
8 oz low fat Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups cooked brown rice

Cook brown rice according to package directions.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and pour into 9×13 baking dish. Bake 45 minutes. Let sit 10-15 minutes before serving.

Curries! You can make them in a slow cooker or just on the stove. I freeze them in individual portions and they nuke very well.
I usually: sauté onions, garlic, curry powder; add cooked or canned chickpeas or lentils, canned tomato, spinach or kale, cover.
Good luck!

pulled pork works great in a crock pot, as does rustic beef stew or minestrone soup. Marinara sauce also works in a crock pot and I like to add Costco meatballs to make it heartier. A healthy casserole that freezes well: 4 cups prepared brown rice (cooked with chicken stock instead of water), layered with sliced, sauteed zuchinni, sliced, sauteed red bell pepper, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can artichoke hearts (drained), 3 leeks, sliced and lightly sauteed. Top with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with parmesan or mozzarella. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and dish is warmed through.

Liz, my sympathies for what you are going through right now. My husband and I went through something similar last year when his father's health seriously declined in his last few months.

If you are using a communal microwave/kitchen, you should probably avoid strong smelling foods. Not everyone enjoys smelling someone else's meal and some people, including other residents in the facility, may have tolerance issues. In our case, although we usually love spicy foods, we needed something that would take it easy on our tummies (all the emotion played havoc with our digestion). We brought in fruit, tea, ginger cookies, home-made salads (dressing packed separately), and sandwich wraps. Some salads were leafy greens tossed with lots of chopped veg, but other salads were grain salads: tabbouleh made with quinoa, bean and rice salad, pasta salad, that kind of thing. We're not vegetarians, but somehow everything we brought with us ended up being vegetarian....

Ah, but you asked about not-too-cheesey casseroles or slow cooker dishes. One of my favorite "quickly thrown together" soups at the moment is black bean and pumpkin. The soup has a tomato base and the pumpkin puree just makes it silky and rich tasting without lots of calories or dairy. Sorry this isn't exact, but I just toss it together:
3 cups cooked black beans (or 2 15 oz. cans)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can pumpkin puree
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can of corn (I use frozen)
2 to 4 cups broth
cumin, chili powder, other spices to taste
other chopped veg such as carrots, celery

It's ready whenever you think the onions, carrots (or other vegetables) have softened enough and the flavors have melded.
