I need help with our Dinner menu for this week!!

[theRonimal]

I've decided to start writing out our dinner menus for the week before I go out shopping. BUT, It seems like week after week, it's the same meals. I have no variety. Will you please help me figure out some good/fairly easy/ fairly cheap dinners? Post your favorite recipe, or what have you! I'm a big fan of Rachel Ray, and DH is a basic Meat and Potatoes kind of guy. The only things we don't like are mushrooms and onions. Ready? GO!

Here is a great site to help if you want cheap.

It is 5 dollar dinners. And they do it by store.

Kraft.com also has some great recipes. They also do a shopping list.

A few things we have tried from there are the Taco Bake and Sweet-N-Sour chicken and they were really good.

This is the recipe I use. Only I add more cheese and no mushrooms. I know you said you don't like onions so Im sure you can leave them out. It's so hearty and delicious. I didn't know what beef consemme was, but I found it in the soup section lol. We eat ours with salad and garlic bread!

2. 2

   Add green peppers, onion, and mushrooms and saute until tender (about 5 minutes).

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium low and stir in beef consomme, salt and pepper.

6. 6

7. 7

   Remove from heat and stir in roast beef.

8. 8

   Serve with a crusty loaf of french bread.

9. 9

   To freeze: Prepare soup as directed and allow to cool. Place in rigid freezer container. Seal, label and freeze.
