Menu Plan Monday

I've been a slacker on Menu Plan Monday
for the past few weeks
but this week I am getting back on track.

Here's my menu for this week:

Monday: Chicken cheese casserole, peas, fruit
Tuesday: Johnny M Casserole (recipe follows), jello with fruit
Wednesday: Artichoke Pasta, cherry cream cheese pie
Thursday: Crock Pot beef stew, cornbread
Friday: Leftovers/ fend for yourself or go to bed hungry.

Preheat oven to 350 and boil water for noodles. Cook noodles al dente as instructed on package. Meanwhile, brown the ground beef and drain. Mix together all ingredients, except reserved cheese, over low heat. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish and pour mixture in. Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese over the top and bake 30-45 min until hot and bubbly.
