Tuesday
Meal: Slow-Cooked Food City Fresh Boston Butt with Burger Toppings Slaw
Description: A small portion of Boston Butt is slow-cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, and cumin until fork-tender and pulled into rich, flavorful shreds. The Burger Toppings are tossed with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a crisp, tangy low-carb slaw served alongside.
Sale items used: Food City Fresh Whole-In-Bag Boston Butt ($1.49/lb), Burger Toppings Cut Fresh In-Store ($4.99/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, slow cook 6-8 hours

Use approximately 0.3 lb of Burger Toppings for the slaw. Make-ahead tip: start the slow cooker in the morning so the pork is ready by dinner. Estimated net carbs per serving: 5g.

Meal: Butter-Basted Smithfield Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Firecracker Brussels Sprouts

One 16 oz block of Food Club Butter will last well beyond this week and is listed here because it is essential to the butter-basting technique and is priced under $3.
