5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Braised BBQ Country Style Pork Ribs with Baked Potatoes
Description: Country style pork ribs are braised low and slow in a covered dish with BBQ sauce until fork-tender, then glazed at the end. A big Idaho baked potato bakes alongside in the same oven for a hearty, budget-friendly dinner.
Sale items used: Family Pack Country Style Pork Ribs ($1.99/lb), Idaho Potatoes (10 lb bag), Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
Prep time: 15 minutes active, about 1 hour 45 minutes total
Serving note: Use about 0.75 lb country style pork ribs (1 to 2 pieces) and 1 large Idaho potato (about 10 oz). Braise the ribs with about 1/3 cup BBQ sauce and 2 tbsp water, covered, at 325F for about 1 1/2 hours. Prick the potato, rub it with oil and salt, and put it in the oven for the last hour. Uncover the ribs for the final 10 minutes to glaze. To save time, braise the ribs the day before and reheat them with a little extra sauce. The rest of the BBQ sauce keeps for leftovers.

For the cornbread, mix 1/2 cup of the dry mix with 1 beaten egg (use about half of it), about 3 tbsp milk, and bake in 2 muffin cups or a small ramekin at 400F for 15 to 18 minutes. Refrigerate the leftover sausage and peas for lunch, and keep the rest of the cornbread mix for another time.
