Menu Plan Monday for October 6th
I would call this Menu Plan Monday the “crock pot edition”…except for the fact that this will not be the only week I have lot of slow cooker meals. Four out of the six dinners I have planned this week will be in the crock pot. I made the realization this summer, as I tried to avoid running the oven, that using the crock pot is a great alternative. I also discovered this blog with more crock pot recipes than the average person will use in a lifetime, and it inspired me to use the crock pot more often. There’s a good chance of rain at least four days this week, so it will be a good week to have warm comfort foods simmering in the crock pot all day!
Monday: Creamy Beef and Noodles (in the crock pot) and a veggie du jour
Tuesday: Crock Pot Beans and Rice and a veggie du jour (leftovers of this make a great burrito filling!)
Wednesday: We have a meeting and dinner is provided
Thursday: Tator Tot Casserole, made with ground turkey and green beans. (fall/winter comfort food doesn’t get any better than this!)
Friday: Chicken legs/thighs in the crock pot. Probably using this recipe with veggie fried rice on the side.
Saturday: Pork Stew, using leftovers from last week’s pork roast — I’ve never made this before, but I think I am going to make a hybrid of these two recipes from allrecipes.com and cook it in the crock pot.
Sunday: Taco Pie with regular taco fixings on the side.
