Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Cheddar-Stuffed Beef Patties with Sautéed Onions
Description: Two juicy beef patties are stuffed with a core of sharp white cheddar and seared until browned, so the cheese melts inside. Sauteed onions go on top, and the plate stays around 7g net carbs.
Sale items used: Fresh Ground Beef Chub ($2.99/lb), Emporium Selection Aged Reserved White Cheddar
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy the 1 lb chub and use 8 oz (two 4 oz patties) tonight. Freeze the other 8 oz in a zip bag for another meal. Stuff each patty with 0.5 oz cheddar (1 oz total), then sear 4 to 5 minutes per side. Saute 1/4 medium onion (about 1/2 cup sliced) in butter for 8 minutes. Keep the rest of the cheddar for Friday.

Wednesday
Meal: Oven-Baked Buffalo Party Pack Chicken Wings with Goat Cheese Dip and Olives
Description: About a pound of wings bake until crackly and get tossed in buttery buffalo sauce. A cool goat cheese dip and a few stuffed olives go on the side, with close to zero net carbs from the wings.
Sale items used: Fresh Buffalo Party Pack Chicken Wings, Emporium Selection Goat Cheese Log, Specially Selected Stuffed Queen Olives
Prep time: 60 minutes
Serving note: The 40 oz pack is about 2.5 lb, so cook about 1 lb (10 to 12 pieces) and freeze the rest in single portions. Pat the wings dry, season with salt, and bake on a rack at 425F for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway. Toss them in 1 tbsp hot sauce melted with 1 tbsp butter. For the dip, mash 2 tbsp goat cheese (about 1 oz) with 1 tbsp sour cream or mayo and a splash of water. Serve with 6 stuffed olives. To save time, season the wings in the morning and keep them uncovered in the fridge, which also crisps the skin.
