Tuesday
Meal: Eckrich Smoked Sausage and Sweet Potato Skillet
Description: Sliced smoked sausage is browned in a skillet alongside cubed sweet potatoes for a hearty, slightly sweet one-pan meal kids will love. The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory sausage for a simple weeknight dinner.

Wednesday
Meal: Carando Meatball Subs on Panini Bread with Prego Sauce

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops with Sweet Corn and Green Beans
Description: Juicy boneless pork chops are quickly seared in a buttered skillet until golden and served alongside fresh sweet corn and tender green beans for a classic, kid-friendly dinner.

Bake the full package of Pillsbury Grands! rolls per package directions (about 13-15 minutes) so there are extras for breakfast or snacking. Keep seasoning simple with just butter, a pinch of garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon from the pantry.
