Kroger Low-Carb Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Slow-Braised Beef Brisket with Onions and Steamfresh Vegetables
Description: A small 1.5 lb brisket is braised low and slow with sliced onions until fork-tender, enough for two dinners' worth of generous portions. It is served alongside buttery steamed low-carb vegetables for a hearty, comforting plate.
Sale items used: Beef Brisket, Yellow Onions, Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables, Kroger Butter
Prep time: 20 minutes active (about 3 hours total)
Serving note: Use 1.5 lb brisket (assumed total weight), 1 lb yellow onions (about 2 medium), and 1 bag Steamfresh broccoli or green beans (choose a plain, non-starchy variety). Plan on about 5 oz cooked brisket per person with leftovers. Make ahead: braise in a 300F oven for 3 hours, or cook the day before and reheat gently in its juices. Stir 1 tbsp butter into the vegetables.
