Hearty Chili Mac, fruit salads, Sloppy Joes… this week’s meal plan ideas are loaded with things your family loves!
This Week’s Secret To Success
- The recipes in this week’s meal plan are perfect for making in the same week together! They share lots of the same ingredients, making grocery shopping and prep easy and efficient!
- Look for ways to buy repeat ingredients like cheese, tomato sauce, onions, ground beef, eggs and blueberries in bulk or larger packages that contain enough for all the recipes instead of buying individual amounts for each recipe.

Menu 2- Hearty Chili Mac
Chili Mac is one of those tried and true comfort meals that always hits the spot! It brings together 2 classic family favorites-beefy, hearty chili and creamy, melty macaroni and cheese to create the ultimate comfort food casserole! Serve it with cornbread muffins and peach fruit salad to create a family favorite meal!

Classic Strawberry Shortcakes are a summer must! Tender golden shortcakes that taste like sweet biscuits piled high with mountains of juicy, red strawberries and strawberry syrup with pillows of fresh whipped cream on top are just what your cookouts and backyard get togethers need.
Breakfast Made Easy
Sausage Egg Cheese Brunch Cake is more like a pull-bread than cake and is made using canned biscuits. So, it is easy, easy, easy! Not to mention that it can be paired with a rich green salad if you are thinking supper, fruit if you are thinking brunch or breakfast, and it feeds a crowd. Easy and versatile? What’s not love?

Rich, creamy and loaded with tangy flavor, these Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs are a fun way to spice up your deviled egg game! Make them for brunches, cookouts, holidays or any time you’re getting together with friends. Need to bring a dish? These have got that jaw-dropping effect!
