Menu Plan Monday #623

It’s the most wonderful time of year! Let Menu Plan Monday bring holiday cheer and festive, family-favorite recipes to your dinner table.

Menu Plan Monday is a collection of family favorite recipes from dinner to dessert.

This time of year always seems to fly by, so my goal with Menu Plan Monday is to help you get through the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. This week, we have a variety of hearty meals from warm pasta bakes to pizza casseroles and a festive treat.

My Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake is the ultimate comfort food for chilly winter nights. Juicy, tender chunks of chicken are tossed with tender pasta and a rich Alfredo sauce, layered with a dreamy trio of Ricotta, Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheeses. The leftovers are just as delicious, too!

This Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup contains all the satisfying flavors of lasagna: rich beef, tomato, herbs, and ooey-gooey cheese, melded together in a comforting soup that’s easy to prepare. You just brown the beef with onion and garlic, dump everything into the slow cooker, and let it simmer while you wrap gifts or sip on cocoa. Later, the broken lasagna noodles go in (or you can cook them separately and stir them in at serving time).

If you haven’t tried my famous Hot Cocoa Cookies, this is your sign. They taste like your favorite mug of hot chocolate in cookie form! You’ll want to save this holiday cookie recipe for later for all your holiday gatherings and Christmas Eve parties. They also make heartfelt gifts when wrapped in simple cellophane and tied with a festive ribbon.
