    4 Easy Dinner Ideas for Busy Families That Have Limited Time

    By Friends of Real MommaDecember 26, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

    When you have limited time, you have to maximize it to the best of your ability. This includes the meal plan and how well you serve your family. Don’t succumb to the temptation to always eat fast food. Fast food is convenient, but those dollars can add up. Plus, fast food meals aren’t the most nutritious options. Instead, consider including these four really easy dinner ideas to keep your family well-fed.

    Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Tomato Soup

    There are tons of boxed tomato soups on the shelves of the grocery stores. Quickly sauté some onions, garlic, and celery. Pour in the tomato soup. If you’d like to add some fresh tomatoes to the soup, you can take it to another level. Add your choice of seasonings, and let the soup simmer while you take care of other tasks. Grilled cheese sandwiches simply require two slices of bread, a few slices of cheese, and a toaster oven. Once the sandwiches are toasted, cut them in half. Serve with a bowl of tomato soup for a delicious and quick dinner meal.

    Need a new soup idea? We have a few soup recipes you should try.

    Sloppy Joes

    Sloppy joes require ground meat. Ground turkey or beef will work well. If you’re a vegetarian, there are plenty of mock ground meats to choose from. You can also use black beans, vegetarian baked beans, and kidney beans. Once you’ve browned the meat on the stovetop, add the meat along with sauces, seasonings, and canned beans into a crockpot. You can set it in the morning to simmer for the entire day. When it’s time for dinner, place the meat mixture in Kaiser buns for a scrumptious sloppy joe dinner.

    Spaghetti Dinners

    Spaghetti dinners are some of the most classic and beloved dinner options. Always keep a stash of pre-made garlic bread loaves in the freezer. Spaghetti takes eight minutes to boil and cook. If you don’t love tomato sauce, you can use an alfredo sauce or a vodka sauce. Add the sauce on top of the spaghetti and serve.

    Gourmet Pizza

    Naan bread is perfect for personal pizzas. In addition to tomato sauces, you can make the experience gourmet by providing options like pesto sauces (tomato or basil), different types of cheese, and vegetables. Place the personal pizzas in the oven for five to ten minutes. Cut the pizzas into slices before serving.

    These options are convenient, simple, and easy to elevate. If you’d like to make your grilled cheese sandwich fancier, use an exotic cheese. By adding some pre-cut fries or a side salad to any one of these dishes, you can make it feel like a meal that you’d easily purchase at a fast-food restaurant for a lot more money. You’ll save time because you won’t sit in long fast food lines. Plus, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing exactly what’s going into the bodies of your family members. The possibilities are endless.
