When I am making my monthly meal plan, I keep this list of our favorite meals in front of me. I usually try to pick one beef, one chicken, one soup, and one pasta recipe a week, as well as a meal from our freezer and a penny-pinching (inexpensive :) meal. Since we pay more for grass fed beef and organic chickens from the farmer's market, I'm also trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our plan to save money. However, my husband generally doesn't like them as much so I don't do it every week. I also try to double and freeze at least one meal a week.

Thanks so much for this list - I will definitely be putting it on my Favorites tab.
I also use a monthly meal plan at our house. I have each day of the week be the same idea (but different recipe). Sunday-crockpot, Monday-Easy Stovetop, Tuesday-ground beef, Wednesday-freezer meal, Thursday-chicken, Friday-pizza, Saturday-fish or fancier cut of beef.
This definitely helps me know what to keep on hand. We bought a half a cow this year, so I have all of my beef needs taken care of. And then I just watch for b/s chicken breasts to go on sale for $1.99/lb. and I stock up for the next month.
As for the Enchilada recipe, I have been doing something new! I use Hollie's Crockpot Italian Chicken Recipe for a Sunday Crockpot meal, then take the leftovers, add shredded cheese and fill tortillas. I top with salsa (although I will be switching to enchilada sauce now that I read your post!) and more cheese and stick it in the freezer for a freezer meal day.
