Some of last week's meals...

Chicken Burrito Bowl

I didn't get around to a frugal friday post last week.  The week was very busy. But I did cook every meal or else we ate leftovers.

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef w/ Stir Fried Vegetables

I'm so excited to have found this Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef recipe at Dinner At The Zoo, but we really like vegetables at our house, so when the cooking time was up on the beef, I pan stir fried carrot, celery, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, baby corn, and sliced water chestnuts on the stove top, and then added them to the crockpot, stirring to distribute all evenly.  Then served over rice.

Mexican Cornbread Casserole (w/ beef and cheese baked in)

This casserole has been in regular rotation at our house for forty years.  I got it from my late best friend, and I think of her every time I make it.  Usually I like picante along with sour cream on it, but we were out, so I garnished with tomatoes.

Green Enchilada Casserole w/ Avocado, Tomato, Corn Salad

When I made the menu for the week, I swear it had lots of variety.  But when I placed the grocery order I must have been sleepy or distracted.  I managed to get all the ingredients for the Mexican inspired meals, and the Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef, but oddly the main ingredients for the other meals weren't as lucky.

In addition to the meals shown in this post, we also had fajitas, but they weren't exactly satisfactory, and I forgot to snap a pic.
