1. Easy Shrimp Tacos

Do yourself a favor and make Shrimp Tacos for dinner one night. These are a nice change from the normal tacos and will make you feel not only hungry but happy, too.

Side dishes

Serve your favorite tortilla chips with this easy Homemade Guacamole or Fresh Homemade Salsa.

2. Cheerios Crusted Baked Chicken Thighs

Cheerios cereal creates a nice, tasty crust for this simple baked chicken thigh recipe. If you don’t have Cheerios in your cabinet, use whatever non-sweet cereal you have on hand.

Side Dishes

Italian Roasted Cauliflower Steaks Recipe and Roasted Broccoli Salad will round out this meal.

3. Baked BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters

This recipe is proof that BBQ Chicken does not have to be cooked on the grill outside. Bake this chicken in the oven for the most flavorful and juicy BBQ Chicken you have ever tasted.

Great side dishes with BBQ chicken include: BBQ Baked Beans, Oven Baked Fries, or Baked sweet potatoes and Deviled eggs.

Shop Walmart grocery online

4. Homemade Mushroom Onion Burgers

Summer might be over, but that won’t stop us from cooking a good homemade burger for dinner. If you are also a fan of a good mushroom burger, use this recipe as many times as you like.

Side dishes

Serve these Chili Cheese Tater Tots on the side. Don’t forget to make some Southern Sweet Tea too.

5 Crockpot Cube Steak & Mushroom Gravy

Slow-cooked meat comes out fork-tender. Add the gravy for a good rib-sticking comfort meal that you don’t spend a lot of time cooking.

Side dishes

Serve either rice or homemade mashed potatoes on the side with green beans.

6 Homemade Crab Stew Easy Recipe

This recipe has graced our dinner table for more than forty years. Without fail, there are never any leftovers. Make this recipe as many times as you like. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does.

Side dishes

We enjoy these Oyster crackers with our Crabmeat stew.
