10 Quick and Easy Butcherbox Recipes for Busy Moms | Major League Mommy (2024)

Simply slice the steak into thin strips and season, chop up your favorite vegetables, and whip together a homemade stir-fry sauce using ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.

The beauty of a stir-fry lies in its versatility. You can mix and match ingredients based on your family’s preferences or what you have on hand.

To create the perfect Steak Stir-Fry, start by heating up a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add a splash of oil, then toss in the steak strips, cooking them until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

Next, add your chopped vegetables to the hot skillet and cook them until they are crisp-tender. The key is to keep the vegetables slightly crunchy to add a pleasing contrast to the tender steak.

Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the steak back into the pan and pour over the homemade stir-fry sauce. Give everything a good toss to coat the ingredients evenly, and let the sauce cook for a minute or two until it thickens slightly.

Serve the Steak Stir-Fry over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.

The combination of juicy steak, colorful vegetables, and flavorful sauce will make this dish a hit with both kids and adults alike.

Plus, the quick cooking time means you’ll have dinner on the table in no time, leaving you with more precious moments to spend with your family.

This recipe combines the heartiness of sausage with the goodness of fresh vegetables, creating a dish that is both filling and nutritious.

Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, return the sausage to the skillet and give everything a good stir. This will help to distribute the flavors evenly and ensure that every bite is packed with deliciousness. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian herbs, to enhance the taste even further.

Sheet Pan Fajitas are the ultimate weeknight dinner solution for busy moms. Not only are they quick and easy to prepare, but they also pack a punch when it comes to taste.

To make these Sheet Pan Fajitas, start by marinating your choice of meat, whether it’s succulent chicken, tender beef, or flavorful shrimp. You can make a simple marinade and allow the meat to soak up all the flavors for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if you have the time. (We recommend letting it soak overnight so that everything is all ready when you are to cook)

Slice up an assortment of bell peppers and onions. Choose different colors of bell peppers to add a pop of brightness to your fajitas. Spread the sliced vegetables evenly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Drizzle the vegetables with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any of your other favorite seasonings.

Once your meat has marinated and your vegetables are prepped, it’s time to assemble the fajitas.

Lay the marinated meat on top of the bed of bell peppers and onions on the sheet pan, making sure everything is spread out evenly. This allows for even cooking and ensures every bite is bursting with flavor.

Pop the sheet pan into a preheated oven and let the magic happen. The high heat will roast the meat and vegetables, caramelizing the edges for added depth of flavor.

In just 20-25 minutes, your Sheet Pan Fajitas will be sizzling and ready to serve.

To serve, spoon the fajita mixture onto warm tortillas and top with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.

The beauty of Italian Stuffed Peppers lies in its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a dish that is not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor. The star of the show is the vibrant bell peppers, which provide a perfect vessel for a delicious filling.

To start, you’ll need a mix of ground meat, such as beef, turkey, or chicken combined with Italian sausage. This combination adds depth and richness to the filling, infusing it with savory flavors. Alongside the meat, a medley of herbs and spices, like basil, oregano, and garlic, work together to create a distinctive Italian taste.

One of the secrets to achieving perfectly cooked Italian Stuffed Peppers is the use of al dente rice. This lightly cooked rice ensures a firm texture, preventing it from becoming mushy as it bakes alongside the peppers. Mixed with the flavorful meat mixture, the rice adds a satisfying bite while soaking up all the delicious juices.

To bind everything together, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese is added on top of each pepper. As the peppers roast in the oven, the cheese melts, creating a gooey, golden crust that adds a creamy finish to each bite. The combination of the cheese and the flavors of the filling create a harmonious balance that will leave your family asking for seconds.

Once the Italian Stuffed Peppers are baked to perfection, you can serve them straight from the oven with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
