It’s been a long time since I’ve put my weekly menu on here, but I’m back at it again this week!

We’ve been eating…I promise. We just haven’t been sticking to a menu like I would really like to. And life is just so much easier for everyone when a plan is made and executed!

So…here’s my plan for this week.

Monday - Sloppy Joes, Tater tots, creamed corn

Tuesday - Lasagna Soup (see recipe below), garlic bread

Wednesday - Easy Parmesean-Garlic Chicken, Pasta Salad, Green Peas and Carrots, Rolls

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Out to eat at the Rhinelander

Saturday - Pizza

Sunday - Meatloaf, Mashed potatoes, Green Beans, and Biscuits

I’m so excited about this Lasagna Soup recipe. I put it on my menu calendar as soon as I saw it on The Happy Housewife this week. I love good soup on a cold day, and it sure has been cold around here!

Lasagna Soup

* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1 green bell pepper, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon thyme
* 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 (32-ounce) box chicken broth
* 2 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
* 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
* 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups egg noodles
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions
In a large pan, combine ground chuck, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is browned and crumbles. Drain well. Stir in thyme, brown sugar, broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt into cooked meat mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Add noodles, and simmer until noodles are tender.

Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into 8 to 10 ovenproof bowls. Evenly sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Broil soups, 6-inches from heat, 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.

The soup looks yummy. I have been wanting soup for a good week, but M just isn’t in the mood, and the girls don’t eat much soup. I might just have to try this one though.

Have a great day!
