substantial but easy - normally I’d suggest tacos, spaghetti or soup but you ruled those out
is all pasta out? if not, lasagna or baked ziti
crockpot bbq chicken with Hawaiian rolls and coleslaw
brisket made in a slow cooker, seeved over egg noodles or mashed potatoes
sheet pan chicken sausage, peppers and onions
sheet pan salmon, baby potatoes and green beans
