Need some weeknight dinner inspiration? Welcome to Midweek Menu! Here, meal planning is easy and enjoyable, especially when it comes to finding the best family-friendly dinner ideas.
This menu has me doing a little happy dance. I know that may seem strange, but sometimes, when the stars align, and things come together just the right way, I can’t help but smile.
I’m starting with Crock Pot Sloppy Joes. I put everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and I’m ready to go by dinner time. Next, is Twice Baked Potato Casserole, which is creamy, cheesy, and perfect alongside a Sloppy Joe sandwich. It’s like your favorite baked potato, but even better because it’s loaded with all the good stuff and baked until bubbly.
For a light and tasty side, I’m adding Classic Pea Salad. It’s quick to whip up and adds a fresh crunch. And I can’t forget dessert—Smores Brownies are a treat that brings the fun of camping right into your kitchen. They’re easy to bake, starting with a box mix, combining chocolate, marshmallows, and a bit of crunch in every bite.
