5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Stovetop Barilla Pasta with Sargento Shredded Cheese and Steamed Corn
Description: A quick and satisfying weeknight dinner for one, featuring 2 oz of Barilla pasta cooked al dente and tossed with butter, garlic, and a generous handful of Sargento shredded cheese. One ear of sweet corn is steamed alongside and served as a simple, naturally sweet side.
Sale items used: Barilla Pasta (12-16 oz), Sargento Shredded Cheese (5-8 oz), Kroger Sweet Corn (4 ct Package)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about 2 oz dry pasta (roughly one-quarter of a 12 oz box) and 1 ear of corn from the 4-count package; top pasta with about 1/4 cup shredded cheese from the 2-pack. Remaining corn and cheese carry forward to later meals this week.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Ranch Style Bean Tacos with Sargento Shredded Cheese
Description: Two soft flour tortillas are filled with fluffy scrambled eggs and hearty Ranch Style beans, then finished with a sprinkle of Sargento shredded cheese for a protein-packed, budget-friendly taco night for one. The beans add smoky, savory depth that makes this feel like a full meal without any meat.
Sale items used: Ranch Style Beans (15 oz, from 10 for $10 bundle), Sargento Shredded Cheese (5-8 oz)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 large eggs (pantry), about 1/3 cup of Ranch Style beans from the 15 oz can (save the rest for Wednesday), and about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese per taco. Tortillas are a pantry staple. The remaining beans are reserved for the enchilada casserole the next day.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked Kroger Cheese and Ranch Style Bean Enchilada Casserole with Asparagus
Description: Leftover Ranch Style beans and Kroger shredded cheese are layered with corn tortillas and enchilada sauce in a small baking dish, then baked until bubbly and golden for a satisfying single-serve casserole. A small bunch of fresh asparagus is roasted alongside in the same oven for a bright, simple vegetable side.
Sale items used: Ranch Style Beans (15 oz, remainder from Tuesday), Kroger Cheese (32 oz), Asparagus (per lb)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use the remaining beans from Tuesday's can (roughly 2/3 cup), about 1/2 cup of Kroger shredded cheese, and 3-4 corn tortillas (pantry). Assume 0.5 lb of asparagus at $3.49/lb, costing approximately $1.75. Bake casserole at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes; assemble while oven preheats to keep total time under 40 minutes. The large Kroger Cheese block will have plenty left for snacking or future use.
