Thursday
Meal: Baked Egg and Potato Casserole with Vidalia Onion and Kraft Slices
Description: Thinly sliced russet potatoes and diced Vidalia onion are layered in a small baking dish, dotted with margarine, and topped with six beaten eggs poured over the top before baking until the eggs are fully set. Kraft sliced cheese is laid over the top in the final few minutes of baking so it melts into a golden, bubbly layer.

The remaining potatoes from the 10 lb. bag can be used for other meals or stored. Assemble the casserole up to a day ahead and refrigerate unbaked to save time on a weeknight.
