Giant Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef Tacos with Sweet Corn and Grape Tomatoes
Description: Seasoned ground beef is browned in a skillet and loaded into warm taco shells alongside fresh sweet corn cut from the cob and juicy grape tomatoes for a colorful, satisfying weeknight dinner for two. The Taco Bell kit keeps things simple while the fresh produce adds brightness and crunch to every bite.
Sale items used: 85% Lean Ground Beef, Giant Tray Pack Sweet Corn 5 ct. tray, Nature's Promise Salad Blend or Giant Mini Cucumbers or Grape Tomatoes, Taco Bell Taco Shells Kit
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.75 lb of ground beef for two people (about 2 generous tacos each); buy 1 tray of sweet corn and use 2 ears; use 1 package of grape tomatoes; 1 Taco Bell kit provides enough shells and seasoning for this meal with leftovers.
Tuesday
Meal: Simmered Carando Meatballs with Prego Pasta Sauce over Egg Noodles
Description: Tender Carando meatballs are simmered low and slow in Prego pasta sauce until rich and deeply flavored, then ladled generously over a bed of egg noodles for a comforting Italian-style dinner for two. This is a quick, satisfying meal that comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal prep.
Sale items used: Carando Meatballs 16 oz. pkg., Prego Pasta Sauce
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One 16 oz. package of Carando meatballs is the right amount for two people (roughly 6 to 8 meatballs each); use 1 jar of Prego sauce; cook about 4 oz. of egg noodles (pantry staple) per person.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans
Description: Thick boneless center-cut pork chops are seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then served alongside caramelized roasted sweet potato chunks and tender green beans for a well-rounded, flavorful plate. The natural sweetness of the vegetables pairs beautifully with the savory sear on the pork.
Sale items used: Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops Giant Family Size, Nature's Promise Organic Sweet Potatoes 3 lb. bag, Nature's Promise Organic Green Beans Vegetable Medley or Broccoli Florets 10 oz. bag
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Buy approximately 1 lb of pork chops for two people (one chop per person at roughly 0.5 lb each); use about one-third of the 3 lb sweet potato bag (remainder keeps well); use 1 bag of green beans. Make-ahead tip: cube and season sweet potatoes earlier in the day to cut active dinner time.
Thursday
Meal: Eckrich Smoked Sausage and Sweet Corn Sheet-Pan Bake with Salad
Description: Sliced Eckrich smoked sausage and sweet corn are tossed with a drizzle of oil and roasted together on a single sheet pan until caramelized and slightly charred at the edges, then served alongside a crisp fresh salad blend. This is an effortless, hands-off dinner that delivers big smoky flavor with almost no cleanup.
Sale items used: Eckrich Smoked Sausage 13-14 oz. pkg., Giant Tray Pack Sweet Corn 5 ct. tray, Nature's Promise Salad Blend or Giant Mini Cucumbers or Grape Tomatoes
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: One 13-14 oz. package of Eckrich sausage is ideal for two people; use 2 ears of sweet corn from the tray (this is a second tray purchase for the week, or use remaining ears from Monday's tray if 5 ears were bought); use 1 package of salad blend.
Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Pan-Sauteed Raw EZ Peel Shrimp with Hot House Cucumber Salad
Description: Plump EZ peel shrimp are quickly sauteed in garlic butter until pink and slightly caramelized, then served with a cool, refreshing hot house cucumber salad dressed with a light vinaigrette for a bright and elegant end-of-week dinner. The shrimp cook in under 10 minutes, making this the fastest and most impressive meal of the week.
Sale items used: Raw EZ Peel Shrimp 16-20 ct. Farm Raised 2 lb. bag, Hot House Cucumbers
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: The 2 lb. bag of shrimp provides about 32 to 40 shrimp total; use approximately half the bag (1 lb., roughly 16 to 20 shrimp) for two people and freeze the remainder for later use; use 1 hot house cucumber for the salad.
