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, ketchup, and melted shredded cheese for a creamy, cheeseburger-flavored one-pan dinner kids will love. Fresh diced beefsteak tomatoes are stirred in at the end for a bright, familiar topping that makes the dish feel just like a burger in a bowl.
Sale items used: Butterball Fresh 85% Lean Ground Round ($2.99/lb, ~1 lb), Ronco Pasta ($1.00 for 8 Oz.), Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.29/lb, ~0.5 lb), Borden Chunks, Shreds or Slices Cheese ($3.99), Heinz Ketchup or Flavored ($2.99 for 13-20 Oz.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb of ground round for 2 hearty servings; cook about 6 oz of pasta (half the 8 oz pack); dice roughly 0.5 lb of beefsteak tomato (about 1 medium tomato); top each bowl with a generous handful of shredded cheese. Ketchup and cheese are used in small amounts so one bottle and one pack will carry through the week.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Honey-Glazed Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Roasted Russet Potatoes
Description: Two boneless skinless chicken breasts are pan-seared and finished with a simple honey-butter glaze that caramelizes into a sweet, golden coating kids find irresistible. Russet potato wedges are tossed in oil and roasted until crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, making a classic and satisfying plate.
Sale items used: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts ($2.59/lb, ~1 lb), Best Choice Russet Potatoes ($3.79 for 10 Lb. Bag), Texas Roadhouse Butter ($2.99 for 6 Oz.)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Plan on 1 lb of chicken breasts (roughly 2 medium breasts) for 2 people; cut 2 to 3 medium russet potatoes from the bag into wedges; the 10 lb bag will cover this meal and the Thursday and Friday meals as well, spreading the cost across three dinners. Roast potatoes at 425 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes while the chicken cooks on the stovetop. Honey is a pantry staple used in a small drizzle.

Wednesday
Meal: Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs with Dole Coleslaw and Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits
Description: A full rack of fully cooked St. Louis style ribs is heated in the oven and sliced so each person gets a generous half-rack portion, making this a fun, hands-on dinner that kids enjoy eating. Creamy store-made coleslaw and warm, fluffy Grands! biscuits round out the plate for a classic backyard-style meal without any grilling required.
Sale items used: Smithfield Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs ($10.99 for 1 Rack), Dole Coleslaw ($1.29), Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, Crescents or Cinnamon Rolls ($1.99 for 5.9 Oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One rack feeds 2 people generously - slice into individual ribs and divide evenly; the entire bag of Dole Coleslaw is the right amount for 2 side servings; prepare all biscuits in the pack (typically 5) so each person gets 2 with one extra to share. Ribs are fully cooked so oven time is just for warming and crisping, about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F. A simple mayo-based dressing for the coleslaw uses pantry staples.

Thursday
Meal: Ground Turkey Taco-Stuffed Russet Potatoes
Description: Large russet potatoes are baked until tender and split open, then loaded with seasoned ground turkey, shredded cheese, and a spoonful of pico de gallo for a fun taco-night twist kids can customize themselves. The mild taco seasoning keeps flavors familiar and not spicy, and the loaded potato format makes dinner feel like a special treat.
Sale items used: Butterball Fresh 85% Lean Ground Turkey ($2.99/lb, ~1 lb), Best Choice Russet Potatoes (already purchased in 10 lb bag), Borden Chunks, Shreds or Slices Cheese ($3.99, same pack as Monday), Healthy Harvest Pico de Gallo ($1.99 for 7.5-13 Oz.)
Prep time: 55 minutes (mostly baking time)
Serving note: Use 1 lb of ground turkey for 2 loaded potatoes; pick 2 large russet potatoes from the bag purchased Tuesday; use remaining shredded cheese from Monday's pack. Make-ahead tip: bake the potatoes up to an hour in advance and keep them wrapped in foil while you cook the turkey filling, so everything is ready at the same time. Taco seasoning is a pantry spice blend.

- Ground Turkey Taco Potatoes

Friday
Meal: Eckrich Hot Dog Bar with Russet Potato Wedges and Dole Shredded Lettuce
Description: A fun build-your-own hot dog bar lets kids dress their own dogs with ketchup, mustard, and shredded lettuce for a relaxed end-of-week dinner that feels like a party. Crispy oven-baked russet potato wedges seasoned with a little salt serve as the kid-approved side that everyone loves.
Sale items used: Eckrich Hot Dogs ($1.59/lb, ~1 lb), Best Choice Russet Potatoes (already purchased in 10 lb bag), Dole Shredded Lettuce ($1.99 for 8 Oz.), Heinz Ketchup or Flavored (same bottle from Monday), Nathan's Mustard ($2.50 for 12 Oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: A 1 lb pack of Eckrich Hot Dogs typically contains 6 to 8 dogs, giving each person 3 to 4 dogs for a fun bar-style dinner; cut 2 to 3 remaining russet potatoes into wedges and roast at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes; use the full bag of shredded lettuce as a topping option and simple side. Hot dog buns are a pantry/bread aisle staple not on sale this week but are an expected add-on purchase.
