Menu Plan 1/8-1/14 2012

When I first started menu planning, I would make my menu and stick to it but it was stressful if something came up and I did not follow the plan exactly so I decided I am going to figure out what I want to make each week and just leave it open to whatever day it seems best. So with that said here are some of the meals we will be eating this week.

Pork Steaks and Sausage with Parmesean Noodles and Green Beans
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Chips
Ground Deer soft tacos, with Spanish rice and beans
Deer Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes with gravy
Friendship Casserole (from the freezer)

Do you menu plan? If so do you stick to the days or do you just decide what you are going to do for the week? Check out more Menu Plans at I'm an Organizing Junkie

Taco Soup

When the weather gets cool every year I always make Taco Soup, it is one of my favorites and it is so easy to make! I made it today and the kids were so excited to eat it, both of my boys had 3 bowls each!

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground meat, cooked and drained

1 can rotel tomatoes

1 can whole kernal corn, drained

1 can pinto beans or black beans, rinsed (I have used both and they are both good)

1 packet dry ranch dressing mix

1 packet taco seasoning

About 2 cups of water

Add all ingreidents to crockpot and mix well, cook 6 hours on low. Yep thats it, so easy!

This is with no toppings

Taco Soup is good with rice, fritos or crackers and I top mine with shredded lettuce, avacodos, and cheese. There are many other toppings you could put on it! I also read somewhere that whatever is left is good in tortillas just drain the juice!
