Menu Plan Monday

The week of the big play, "Annie", has finally arrived. We will be meeting ourselves coming and going trying to get to rehearsals every night and get all our other obligations taken care of. Rehearsal will be from 530 until 1000, or later, Monday-Thursday. The play is Friday and Saturday night. I type all that to say that dinner will be quick and easy--to say the least.

Monday- porkchop biscuits and eggs (porkchops were cooked yesterday)
Tuesday- easy beef and bean burritos
Wednesday- Spaghetti at church
Thursday-Tyson chicken strips, Kraft Mac-n-Cheese, carrot sticks (also depends on when company arrives--if they are able to come!)
Friday-Stuffed shells, salad, garlic bread, derby pie (company's a comin')
Saturday-I want to grill burgers for lunch--we'll see what happens

Easy Beef and Bean burritos

1 can refried beans

1 package taco seasoning or 1 jar of salsa

1 to 1 1/2 lb of ground beef

Brown ground beef (add salt to taste) Add other ingredients and serve on tortilla shells.

We prefer the salsa instead of the taco seasoning.

I have never seen this recipe anywhere--I just made it up, as far as I know. My family really likes it and it's very quick.

Have a great week and go visit Laura for more Menu Plans.
