What's for dinner this week? And what should I do with left over Chili

AlissaCell701 · October 2011

It's been raining here for like 2 days and it's supposed to continue raining (some kind of tropical something) until wed! So I made Chili last night and have a tone left over..what else can I make with it?

And what else do you all have cooking up this week?! We failed at cooking last week, way to much take out and DH is home all week!!

Tonight we're having hamburgers and sweet potato fries.

Tu: Chicken pot pie
We: homemade pizza
Th: Penne w/Artichoke & Sausage

We always eat out on Friday nights.

eta: I usually freeze leftover chili. If there's not enough for another family dinner I'll thaw it out later and eat it for lunch.

You could freeze it, make chili mac or put it in a pie plate and top it with corm bread batter.

Chili freezes well. If it's not enough for another dinner, you could freeze it in single portion sizes for lunch or individual dinners.

WFD:

Tonight - Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Tues - Taco Night

Wed - Homemade Pizza

Thur - Salad

Fri - Dinner out Smile

I also freeze my chili. Otherwise, I just serve it up a little different, but it's still really just chili Our variations:

Chili on top of cornbread waffles

Chili with toppers (fritos, sour cream, cheese, etc.),

Chili nachos

Chili hot dogs

Chili spaghetti (my favorite!)

Chili freezes really well. I'd save it for a night you don't feel like cooking.

We're having:

sloppy joe's, sweet potato fries

strip steak with blue cheese wine sauce, broccoli

BBQ chicken pasta

BBQ chicken chili

meatball soup

taquitos

ham/cheese sliders, green beans

ditto on freezing the chili... i love having an easy dinner in the freezer! I just thaw the frozen block on the stove and voila! dinner!

so far we're doing...

chicken, asparagus, and cous cous

pasta with meatballs

soup and sandwich night (prob turkey, avocado, tomato, etc. on pretzel buns with tomato soup)

and maybe some leftover chili from the freezer.
