Beefed Up 'n' Saucy Quesadillas - Eat Pray {Read} Love

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.

I homeschool our kids so the kids and we eat pretty much almost every single meal together during the week. I run out of ideas sometimes and I can’t help but think I’m not the only one! One fun idea we came up with this week is to have Manwich Monday- it’s a great way to kick off a busy week. I don’t know about you, but having an idea of what we’re having on Mondays can help the day go smoothly. We definitely won’t always have your standard sloppy joe- Manwich can be used in so many recipes and I can’t wait to have fun with this!

This week, we made Beef Quesadillas for lunch. The ingredients were so simple: ground beef with Manwich Thick and Chunky Sauce, onions and shredded carrots (sneaking those veggies in!) then put the meat mixture on flour tortillas in an iron skillet with some butter. Add some shredded cheese and meat and another tortilla on top and bam- you have a delicious meal in a snap!

The sauce was so sweet and tangy- the kids seriously went crazy over these Beef Quesadillas!

And the best part is that I made a ton of them and we had enough left over for lunch the next day- that was certainly a win!

One thing I really love about meals made with Manwich- it’s so messy that the kids (and hello, adults, too) have to focus on the meal rather than worrying about anything else. Kids won’t be pulling out their phones at this meal! It really brings the focus back to the table and we had some great conversations while eating these beef quesadillas. We ate on the picnic table outside (a great tip for eating messy meals!) and just really enjoyed ourselves.
