5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder Butt with Yellow Potatoes and Corn
Description: A small bone-in pork butt roast is slow-roasted until tender and pulls apart with a fork, served with roasted yellow potatoes and a buttery ear of corn. Leftover pork keeps well for sandwiches or to add to other meals.
Sale items used: SMITHFIELD bone-in pork shoulder butt roast, yellow potatoes, corn 4 pack
Prep time: 20 minutes active, about 3 hours total
Serving note: Buy a roast of about 1.5 lb total (bone-in, yields about 0.75 lb cooked meat). Use about 5 oz cooked pork, 3 small yellow potatoes (about 8 oz), and 1 ear of corn. Rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then roast covered at 300F for about 2.5 to 3 hours. Make ahead: roast the pork a day early and reheat; potatoes and corn take 30 minutes on the day.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef and Kidney Bean Chili with Diced Tomatoes
Description: Ground beef is browned with onion and chili spices, then simmered with kidney beans and diced tomatoes into a thick, hearty single-serving chili. It comes together in one skillet and tastes even better with a little simmering time.
Sale items used: grass-fed ground beef 85% lean, Goya red kidney beans, diced tomatoes
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1/3 of the 1 lb pack (about 5 oz) of beef, 1/2 can kidney beans, and 1/2 can diced tomatoes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic, and salt. Simmer 20 minutes. Freeze the remaining beef, beans, and tomatoes (refrigerate in covered containers) for the other portions this week or another batch of chili.
