Tuesday
Meal: Old El Paso Bean and Cheese Tacos with Cherry Tomato Salsa
Description: Warm Old El Paso taco shells are filled with seasoned refried beans and melted Kraft slices, then topped with a quick fresh salsa made from halved Sweetpops cherry tomatoes, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of taco seasoning.

The Buy 5 Save $5 deal requires purchasing 5 qualifying Old El Paso items total - plan to grab taco shells, refried beans, taco seasoning, and two other qualifying items to unlock the discount.

Wednesday
Meal: Sauteed Mushroom and Carrot Knorr Rice Bowl with Soy Sauce
Description: A single packet of Knorr Rice Sides is cooked up as the base, then topped with a savory stir-fry of sliced white mushrooms and baby carrots sauteed in butter with a splash of Kikkoman soy sauce.

Sale items used: Knorr Rice or Pasta Sides, Whole White Mushrooms, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots, Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Country Crock Butter Spread
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 packet of Knorr Rice Sides (one packet is a perfect single serving), half an 8 oz package of mushrooms (save the rest for Friday), and about 0.5 cup of baby carrots from the 1 lb bag. The soy sauce bottle is large but will be used again as a pantry staple going forward.

Thursday
Meal: Baked Egg and Potato Casserole with Vidalia Onion and Kraft Slices
Description: Thinly sliced russet potatoes and sweet Vidalia onion are layered in a small baking dish, dotted with butter, and baked until tender, then topped with two cracked eggs and Kraft cheese slices and returned to the oven until the eggs are just set. This cozy, oven-baked casserole is a satisfying single-serving dinner that feels indulgent without breaking the budget.
Sale items used: Best Choice Russet Potatoes, Sweet Vidalia Onions, Eggland's Best Large White Eggs, Kraft Slices or Deluxe Slices, Country Crock Butter Spread
Prep time: 50 minutes (35 minutes bake time, 15 minutes prep)
Serving note: Use 2 medium russet potatoes (roughly 0.5 lb from the 10 lb bag), about 0.25 lb of Vidalia onion, 2 eggs, and 2 Kraft slices. The 10 lb potato bag will provide plenty of potatoes for the rest of the week and beyond - store extras in a cool, dry place. Prep the potato and onion layers ahead of time and refrigerate if needed; just add eggs and cheese in the final 10 minutes of baking.
