Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Quick and Easy Pressure Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Stew The pressure cooker is an amazing device for making flavor-packed stews in very short order. In this version, black beans are stewed together with spicy Hatch chilies, smoky Andouille sausage, and fall-off-the-bone tender chicken legs.   TUESDAY Shakshuka (North African-Style Poached Eggs in Spicy Tomato Sauce) It's easy to see why shakshuka is so popular: it's quick, it's simple, it's easy to scale up or down; and it works for breakfast, brunch, lunch—or in this case—dinner.  WEDNESDAY The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Making it through mid-week is sometimes only achieved by moving at a dead sprint. For a dead sprint-kind of Wednesday, we can only recommend the most humble, easy, delicious sandwich: the grilled cheese. THURSDAY Quick and Easy Stovetop Butternut Squash Soup Let's be honest: You don't always have the time or energy to invest in making the very best butternut squash soup—roasting that squash takes time. On Thursday, "just good enough" is good enough., This techinque delivers a squash soup that's made 100% on the stovetop, in just about half an hour. FRIDAY Chorizo and Egg Chilaquiles With Salsa Verde Nothing says "TGIF" like tortilla chips for dinner. Topped with salsa verde, spicy chorizo, and eggs, then served with fresh radishes and vinegary pickled onions, they make a perfectly acceptable main for a week well done.     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us help you guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Perfect Prime Rib With Red Wine Jus Fall is upon us, so fire up those ovens for a Sunday roast to remember. A low and slow start delivers medium-rare doneness all the way from edge to center. Then, blast it with heat just before serving for a crackling-crisp, browned crust. It's an all-day affair that delivers results fit for a feast.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
