Monday
Classic Meatballs
Once they are done, these meatballs can be served in a variety of ways. You can eat them just as they are, stab them with a fork and dip them in ranch dressing, smother them with brown gravy Ikea-style, or my favorite, heaped atop a mound of spaghetti and tomato sauce.
Tuesday
Cheeseburger Soup
If you love cheeseburgers, you’ll adore this cheeseburger soup! It’s a warm, cheesy hug in soup form, perfect for kids - but we promise that adults will love it too! If you want to lower the calories, you can use ground turkey instead of beef - but don’t skimp on the cheese!
Wednesday
Pizza Pasta Bake
A pizza, pasta dish and casserole all in one! This is such a popular meal that you can't go wrong with this as a delicious dinner!
Thursday
Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
These might just be the tastiest Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas EVER! Fajita seasoning is obviously a game-changer, and baking the marinated chicken and veggies for the perfect amount of time in the high-temperature oven is important to get that classic char while still keeping the chicken moist and tender. Moreover, it’s easy to make and healthy enough for weeknights!
Friday
Southwest Chicken Skillet
If you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, this Southwest Chicken Skillet is it! Precooked chicken makes this dinner possible in about 30 minutes.
