My husband calls these 15 dinners “really, really delicious”
When my husband says a dinner is “really, really delicious,” it usually means it earns a spot in our regular rotation. This lineup includes favorites like salsa verde chicken enchiladas, pork Chops, and Philly cheesesteak pasta.
They’re the kinds of meals that disappear fast and get requested again before the week is over. If you’re looking for dinners that actually live up to the hype, these are the ones I always make.
1. Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas
Soft tortillas are filled with chicken, salsa verde, and cheese, then baked until everything melds together. I make different enchilada recipes, and this is one of my husband’s favorites.
