5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Stovetop Barilla Pasta with Sargento Shredded Cheese and Steamed Corn
Description: A simple and satisfying weeknight dinner where al dente Barilla pasta is tossed with butter, garlic, and a generous handful of melted Sargento shredded cheese for a creamy, comforting sauce. Two ears of sweet corn are steamed alongside and served on the cob as a fresh, summery side that rounds out the plate perfectly for two.
Sale items used: Barilla Pasta (12-16 oz), Sargento Shredded Cheese (5-8 oz), Kroger Sweet Corn (4 ct package, use 2 ears)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Cook 8 oz (half a 16 oz box) of Barilla pasta for two generous portions; use about 1/2 cup (roughly half a 5-6 oz bag) of Sargento shredded cheese melted in; steam 2 ears of corn from the 4-count package and save the remaining 2 ears for snacking or another meal.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Ranch Style Bean Tacos with Sargento Shredded Cheese
Description: Fluffy scrambled eggs and hearty Ranch Style beans are cooked together in a skillet with cumin and chili powder, then spooned into warm tortillas and topped with melted Sargento shredded cheese for a protein-packed taco night. This quick and filling meal comes together in under 20 minutes and delivers bold Tex-Mex flavor without any meat.
Sale items used: Ranch Style Beans (15 oz, from 10 for $10.00), Sargento Shredded Cheese (5-8 oz)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 large eggs (from home or purchased separately if needed) and one 15 oz can of Ranch Style beans to fill 4-6 small tortillas for two people; top each taco with a tablespoon of Sargento shredded cheese from the same bag purchased Monday; tortillas are a pantry staple assumed on hand.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked Kroger Cheese and Ranch Style Bean Enchilada Casserole with Asparagus
Description: Corn tortillas are layered in a baking dish with Ranch Style beans, enchilada sauce, and a thick blanket of Kroger shredded cheese, then baked until bubbly and golden for a hearty casserole that feeds two comfortably. A side of roasted asparagus seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper bakes alongside in the same oven for an easy, nutritious vegetable component.
Sale items used: Kroger Cheese (32 oz, with Digital Coupon), Ranch Style Beans (15 oz, from 10 for $10.00), Asparagus (per lb)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1 cup of Kroger shredded cheese from the 32 oz block (grate as needed) and one 15 oz can of Ranch Style beans for the casserole; purchase approximately 0.75 lb of asparagus at $3.49/lb for a side serving of 6-8 spears per person; enchilada sauce and corn tortillas are pantry staples; the casserole takes about 25 minutes to bake at 375 degrees F, so assemble it first and add the asparagus to the oven for the last 15 minutes.
