Monday Menu #164- Enchilada Casserole & Spicy Italian Sandwich

Layered Beef Enchilada Casserole always makes a family favorite meal, as does my Spicy Italian Crescent Ring Sandwich! I’m sharing those recipes along with easy, no-fail side dishes, plus breakfast, dessert and snack ideas for the week.

A collage of 4 recipes included in this week's family meal ideas for readers to enjoy.

It’s Monday Menu’s job to make your life easier! Every week, it comes straight to your inbox with 2 complete meal ideas, breakfast, dessert and snack recipes. We’re talking about “meals that work’!

The recipes are specially chosen so that they are easy to make in the same week together. They might use the same ingredients to make grocery shopping quick and simple. They balance your time in the kitchen- recipes that take a bit more time are always paired with quick recipes and sit down meals are always countered with more casual fun meals. And seasonal eating always is a factor!

Monday Menu meal ideas work hard so you don’t have to.

Menu 1- Layered Beef Enchilada Casserole

Layers of seasoned beef in a red enchilada sauce, corn tostadas and melted Monterrey Jack cheese are what this dish is all about!  This is the easy way to eat enchiladas with your family. Serve up some short cut Charro Beans and Easy Green Chile Rice and you have all you need to throw your own fiesta.
