5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Skillet Cheeseburger Pasta with Beefsteak Tomatoes
Description: Ground beef is browned in a skillet and tossed with cooked pasta, melted shredded cheese, ketchup, and diced fresh beefsteak tomato for a cheesy, burger-flavored pasta bowl kids absolutely love. Everything comes together in one pan in about 25 minutes, making cleanup a breeze.
Sale items used: Butterball Fresh 85% Lean Ground Round, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Borden Chunks/Shreds Cheese, Ronco Pasta, Heinz Ketchup
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of ground round, roughly 2 oz of dry pasta, 1 small beefsteak tomato (about 0.25 lb), and a generous handful of shredded cheese; the ground round is sold per lb so budget for 0.5 lb at $2.99/lb = $1.50.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Honey-Glazed Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Roasted Russet Potatoes
Description: One boneless skinless chicken breast is pan-seared and brushed with a simple honey-butter glaze, then served alongside crispy oven-roasted russet potato wedges seasoned with just salt and a little garlic. The golden glaze gives the chicken a mildly sweet flavor that kids find irresistible.
Sale items used: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Best Choice Russet Potatoes, Texas Roadhouse Butter
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 chicken breast (about 0.5 lb at $2.59/lb = $1.30), 2 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb bag, and about 1 tablespoon of the Texas Roadhouse Butter for the glaze; the 10 lb bag of potatoes will carry over for Thursday and Friday meals so the cost is shared across the week.

Wednesday
Meal: Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs with Dole Coleslaw and Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
Description: Instead of buying a full rack, pick up a small portion of the fully cooked St. Louis style ribs - about 3 to 4 ribs - and warm them in the oven with a brush of your favorite BBQ sauce for a sticky, tender, kid-approved dinner. A scoop of creamy Dole coleslaw and a warm fluffy Pillsbury Grands! biscuit round out the plate perfectly.
Sale items used: Smithfield Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs, Dole Coleslaw, Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: The ribs come as a full rack at $10.99 - buy the one rack and plan to enjoy 3 to 4 ribs tonight, then refrigerate or freeze the rest for another meal later in the week or next week; use 1 biscuit from the Pillsbury Grands! can and about one-quarter of the Dole Coleslaw bag.

Thursday
Meal: Ground Turkey Taco-Stuffed Russet Potatoes
Description: A large russet potato is baked until fluffy, then loaded with seasoned ground turkey, shredded cheese, and a spoonful of pico de gallo for a fun taco-night twist that kids can customize with their favorite toppings. The mild taco seasoning keeps the flavors familiar and totally kid-friendly.
Sale items used: Butterball Fresh 85% Lean Ground Turkey, Best Choice Russet Potatoes, Borden Chunks/Shreds Cheese, Healthy Harvest Pico de Gallo, McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning
Prep time: 55 minutes (mostly baking time)
Serving note: Use 1 large russet potato from the bag purchased Tuesday, about 0.5 lb of ground turkey (at $2.99/lb = $1.50), a handful of shredded cheese, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo; start the potato in the oven first since it takes about 45 minutes, then cook the turkey in the last 10 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Eckrich Hot Dog Bar with Russet Potato Wedges and Dole Shredded Lettuce
