We scoured the internet in search of the ultimate weeknight meal, and we asked food bloggers from all over to submit their recipe that best fit the bill. After hundreds and hundreds of entries, we whittled it down to 10 finalists, then had you, the reader, vote for your favorite.
It was close, but Sara from Budget Savvy Diva took the crown with her Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas, and boy was this dish good! We want to say congrats to all the finalists once again and thank all the bloggers for their delicious submissions. We look forward to doing the contest again this year!
