Kroger Kosher Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Braised Beef Brisket with Petite Spudling Potatoes and Onions
Description: Meat: Brisket is seared, then braised low and slow with sliced onions and chicken broth until fork-tender, with spudling potatoes added for the last hour. This makes a cozy dinner for 2 with leftovers for sandwiches.
Sale items used: Beef Brisket, Petite Spudling Potatoes, Yellow Onions
Prep time: 20 minutes active, about 3 hours total
Serving note: Use 2 lbs brisket (a small first cut; it shrinks and gives leftovers), 1 bag spudling potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), and 1 lb yellow onions (about 2 medium, 1 lb assumed). Braise at 325F for about 2.5 to 3 hours. Make-ahead: braise the day before and reheat gently in its juices; it slices better when chilled.
