I’m always on the lookout for simple recipes to feed my family on weeknights. By the end of the day, I’m exhausted and want something I can put on the dinner table fast. If it can be prepared in a single pan and minimize my dishes, even better! The new Marie Callender’s Dry Dinner Mix is an easy dinner solution for busy families like ours!

They are available exclusively at Walmart in five different flavors including family favorites like Homestyle Stroganoff and Creamy Alfredo. I recently tried out the Parmesan Garlic.

I headed to my local Walmart to pick up everything I need to prepare my meal. You can find them with the other dinner mixes!

You can easily switch up your dinner to suite your own family’s taste by adding mix-ins. Consider your favorite veggies and meat options to add a unique twist.

I decided to add fresh portobello mushrooms and diced onion to our mix along with shrimp.

Because I opted for already cooked and thawed shrimp, I simply added it in halfway through cooking to warm it up.

You know that bacon makes everything taste even better, right? I decided to kick dinner up a notch and added crumbled bacon and fresh parsley to the top. By purchasing already cooked bacon and heating it up in the microwave, it took minimal effort.

To make ours extra creamy, I did go with the part heavy cream option in the package instructions. I really like how it turned out!
