My MIL, FIL, and two nieces (5 and 9 yo) will be coming down next weekend to visit. I need meal ideas. (crock pot maybe). FIL is REALLY picky so I got pork steaks for him already I would need Friday night and Saturday night meals. Yikes! I need to clean!

    What about a basic italian dish like mostaccioli.  I made one (only with penne noodles, not mostaccioli) for Noah's b-day party and it was a huge it.  Pretty easy to make as well....I can get you the recipe if you'd like it.

    Taco bar?

    Put the chicken or beef in the crock pot with spices, then shred up, and put out lettuce, cheese, sour cream, black beans, gauc, salsa, etc for taco's.

    Here you go!

    16 oz penne

    1 1/2 lb ground beef

    1/2 cup chopped onion

    1/4 cup chopped green pepper

    1 clove garlic minced

    spaghetti sauce ( I don't have any real measurement on this, just kept adding until it looked "saucy" enough)

    Shredded mozarella cheese

    1/2 cup parmesan cheese

     

    - Cook pasta and drain.  Meanwhile brown the beef along with onion, green pepper & garlic.  Drain.  Stir in spaghetti Sauce

    - Simmer sauce/meat mixture for 15 minutes, then stir in pasta

    - Put 1/2 the mixture in 13x9 pan, sprinkle with mozarella cheese.  Add the remaining pasta mixture, and top with parmesan cheese.

    - Cover w/ foil and bake @350 for 35 minutes.  Uncover, add another layer of mozarella cheese, bake 5 minutes.
