1. Sheet Pan Nachos
This Sheet Pan Nachos meal includes a recipe for homemade Pico sauce and homemade taco seasoning. I will close my eyes and look away if you decide to buy both ready-made at the grocery store. ~wink
What to serve with Sheet Pan Nachos
Guacamole, Taco soup (dump recipe), or Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas

2. Rosemary and Pecan Covered Roasted Pork Chops
Bring out the flavor in meats by seasoning with herbs like these Rosemary Roasted Pork chops. Pecans are optional, but give a little crunch and pizazz if you are making this dish for a special occasion. The Homemade plum sauce recipe is included.
What to serve with Roasted Pork Chops
Roasted Cauliflower steaks, Southern Candied Yams, Roasted butternut squash, Old Fashioned Crunchy Pea Salad, or Fresh Green Bean Salad

3. Stovetop Cabbage Steaks and Bacon
Cabbage steaks can be cooked in a matter of minutes on a Stovetop griddle like this one. I also cook the Basil Grilled Tomatoes mentioned below on the same griddle.
What to serve with Cabbage steaks
Waffle Iron Cornbread, Basil Grilled Tomatoes, and Stewed Squash.

4. Oven Baked Smothered Cube Steak
This recipe for Baked Cube Steak and gravy is worth the extra effort. A cozy, comforting meal everyone enjoys eating.
What to serve with Cube Steak and Gravy
Either rice or Homemade Mashed Potatoes, Biscuits, and Green beans.

5 Crockpot Taco Dump Soup
My Taco soup recipe is a dump soup that even a novice cook can make. You literally dump the ingredients into your Crockpot, stir, and wait. The flavors marinate while the soup cooks.
What to serve with Taco soup
Tortilla chips and Homemade Salsa, Cornbread, or salad.

6 Crockpot Roasted Chicken And Vegetables
When vegetables are cooked along with chicken, their flavors meet and make delicious magic for your taste buds. This meal is hearty and satisfying.
What to serve with Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
This is a complete meal. All you really need is bread and dessert. If you insist on having a green vegetable, make it easy on yourself and cook a can of green beans. See this list of desserts below.

7 Bacon-Wrapped Herb Butter Pork Loin
This is a fun recipe to make for people who enjoy cooking like I do. You get to make your own herb butter, which adds a delicious flavor to the pork loin. This entree is tender and tasty.
What to serve with Bacon-Wrapped Herb Butter Pork Loin
We enjoy these Italian Green Beans and Homemade mashed potatoes with this main dish. If you don’t want to make mashed potatoes from scratch (I understand) this is the brand of Instant mashed potatoes I recommend.
