Monday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef and Half Runner Beans with Vidalia Onion over Pasta
Description: Lean ground beef is browned in a skillet with sliced Vidalia onion and tender half runner beans, then seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper for a hearty one-pan meal. The savory mixture is ladled over a single serving of pasta for a filling and budget-friendly weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: Ground Beef (81% Lean) at $2.99/lb, Half Runner Beans at $1.99/lb, Bland Farms Vidalia Onions at $2.99 (3 lb bag), Food Club Pasta at sale price
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb ground beef (about $1.50 worth), 0.25 lb half runner beans, and roughly one-quarter of the Vidalia onion bag (the rest carries over to Thursday and Friday). Cook about 2 oz dry pasta for one serving. The 3 lb onion bag will be shared across multiple meals this week, making it a smart buy.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Roasted Tasteful Selections Potatoes and Tomatoes on the Vine

Meal: Baked Flounder Fillets with Food Club Corn on the Cob and Avocado
