5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Loaded Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Vegetables
Description: A large baked potato is loaded with melted Kraft Singles, a spoonful of sour-cream-style spread, and a scoop of Meijer canned vegetables for color and fiber. Simple and filling for one person.
Sale items used: Yellow or Red Potatoes, Kraft Singles, Meijer Canned Vegetables, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spread
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 medium potato (about 0.5 lb from the 5 lb bag), 1 slice Kraft Singles, 1 tbsp spread, and 1/3 cup canned vegetables (about 1/3 of a 14.5 oz can). Since baking takes about 45-50 minutes, you can microwave the potato instead to cut total time to about 20 minutes.
