Meal Plan Featuring Mushrooms

Updated: Feb. 08, 2024

Add 'shrooms to this week's menu! On Sunday, make a nice (but easy!) rigatoni dinner and prep Monday's burgers. Make and shape patties, and store in the fridge for Monday night. (For a beefed up version, mix the mushrooms with 1/2 lb lean ground beef.)

I made up this dish years ago, and it still remains the family's favorite healthy baked chicken recipes. It's a fast weeknight meal, but the fresh mushrooms and sherry make it special enough for a weekend dinner party. —Lise Prestine of South Bend, Indiana

I used to make this dish with beef, but substituting with portobella mushrooms turned it into my family’s vegetarian favorite. It’s quick, nutritious, low fat and tasty. —Greg Fontenot, The Woodlands, Texas
