A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas πππ₯
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included lots of fall baking, homecoming prep, and an apple harvest festival. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayβs roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog:ββ βCrescent Roll Apple DumplingsβThese taste like they took all afternoon, but the prep is about 20 minutes! Apple wedges get wrapped in buttery dough, then baked in a cinnamon sugar sauce with a can of Mountain Dew poured around the edges. Serve them warm with vanilla ice cream and a spoonful of the pan sauce.
βBacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin (Just 4 Ingredients!)βFour ingredients and 10 minutes of prep turn a plain pork tenderloin into the kind of dinner that looks like you fussed! Brown sugar and mustard caramelize under a crisp bacon wrap while the drippings keep the meat juicy.
βGround Turkey MeatloafβTurkey meatloaf has a reputation for turning out dry, but a sautΓ©ed onion mixture stirred right into the meat is what fixes that here. Dry stuffing mix stands in for breadcrumbs, so the seasoning's built in. It slices clean, it reheats well, and it is an easy weeknight dinner!
βRoasted Butternut Squash LasagnaβThis lasagna layers a whipped roasted butternut squash sauce with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and three kinds of cheese. It is rich, meat free, and sturdy enough to hold its own as the main dish on a Thanksgiving table! Assemble it ahead and bake it when you are ready.
βSouthern ChiliβThis chili simmers ground beef and pork sausage with tomatoes, peppers, and Creole seasoning. Black eyed peas stand in for the usual kidney beans, which gives it a softer bite and a flavor you won't get from a standard pot!
βBaked Apple OatmealβA hearty breakfast casserole with grated apples, warm cinnamon, and crisp caramelized edges. Everything stirs together in one bowl in about 10 minutes! Bake a pan on Sunday and breakfast is handled all week.
β25 Pork Roast and Pork Tenderloin RecipesβA convenient collection of our favorite pork tenderloin and pork roast recipes. This one includes a delicious option for whichever cut you have in your fridge!
And since it's Sunday, it's time for Our Week in Meals! You can check out all of the highlights from our week and hopefully find some new dinner inspiration for your own meal plan. The full details are on the blog today:ββββββββββββββ
