Skillet pork chops and mashed potatoes make the perfect family meal while sloppy joe sliders and a Frito corn salad bring a little fun to the week. Monday Menu is all about getting you out of that dinner rut and putting a whole lot of yum on the table!

A collage of recipes that make easy meals for families during the week.

This Week’s Secret to Success

  • Not every meal can be a sit down affair. Throwing in some fun recipes like sliders on a regular week night, especially mid week, breathes a little life into the family dinner table. Between good food and a relaxed atmosphere, everyone will be sharing about their days before you know it!
  • Both are meat and potato meals. One is a more traditional family meal while the other is casual enough to cover the weekend, if needed.
  • Offsetting traditional meals with “easy to put together” casual dinners brings a balance to cooking and preparing meals fro your family. Balancing your workload is an important way you can make sure that your time in the kitchen remains a joy and not a chore!

Menu 1- Skillet Pork Chops & Mashed Potatoes

You won’t believe how easy it is to put these juicy, tender, bone in pork chops on your table!  Simple enough for any night of the week, these Skillet Pork Chops are cooked to perfection and bathed with a flavorful 5 ingredient cream sauce.  15- 20 minutes is all it takes to serve the best pork chops around!

Menu 2- Sloppy Joe Sliders

These homemade sloppy joe sliders with their smoky sauce, crisp parmesan crunch and splash of Chia seeds are just the kind of easy weeknight supper that everyone always seem to make it around the table for. Serving it with a fun Frito corn salad and easy BBQ potato foil packets means that it also makes a great game day meal with friends too!
