What's everyone's go-to weeknight dinner?

I'm in a rut with meal planning. Keep making the same 5 things over and over. Taco night, pasta, chicken with rice, pizza, burgers. The kids aren't picky eaters thank god but I want to actually cook something different without spending 2 hours on it. What are your quick wins that don't feel like total repetition?

Throw some sheet pan dinners in rotation. Chicken and veggies, salmon and asparagus, that kind of thing. Gets you out of the pasta-taco cycle and honestly takes like 15 minutes to throw together.

We do a lot of crockpot stuff. Throw it in the morning and forget about it. Pulled pork, chicken tacos, beef stew. Saves my sanity on game nights.

Breakfast for dinner is underrated. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon. Kids love it and your wife will appreciate the break from the same rotation.

Brisket. Low and slow on the weekend and you've got leftovers for days. But for weeknights when I'm in the same rut I add a stir fry or two to the mix.
