Piggly Wiggly Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Skillet-Fried Egg and Potato Hash with Bell Peppers and Sargento Shreds
Description: Diced red or gold potatoes are pan-fried until crispy and golden, then tossed with sauteed bell pepper strips and topped with two fried eggs for a hearty, protein-rich breakfast-for-dinner. A generous handful of Sargento shredded cheese melted over the top ties everything together into a satisfying single-serving skillet meal.
Sale items used: Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag, 2 for $7.00), Red/Yellow/Orange Bell Peppers (2 for $3.00), Vital Farm Pasture Raised Large Eggs (dozen, $5.99), Sargento Shreds (5-8 oz, $2.99)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 medium potatoes (roughly 0.5 lb) from the 5 lb bag, half of one bell pepper, and 2 eggs. The remaining potatoes and eggs carry forward to later meals this week. The 5 lb bag is purchased as part of the 2-for-$7.00 deal, so budget one bag at $3.50.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Ricotta and Bell Pepper Stuffed Pasta with Rao's Pasta Sauce
Description: Large pasta shells are filled with a creamy mixture of Galbani ricotta, a beaten egg, and diced sauteed bell pepper, then nestled in a baking dish with Rao's marinara spooned generously over the top. The dish bakes until bubbly and golden, making a rich and filling single-serving Italian-style dinner.
Sale items used: Galbani Ricotta (16 oz, $1.99), Red/Yellow/Orange Bell Peppers (2 for $3.00), Vital Farm Pasture Raised Large Eggs (dozen, $5.99), Rao's Pasta Sauce (32 oz, $7.99), Sargento Shreds (5-8 oz, $2.99)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Use about 6 to 8 jumbo pasta shells (from pantry or a small box), half the 16 oz ricotta container, 1 egg, half of one bell pepper, and roughly 1 cup of Rao's sauce. The remaining ricotta and sauce will keep refrigerated for several days. Make-ahead tip: fill the shells up to a day ahead and refrigerate unbaked to cut evening prep to about 20 minutes.
Wednesday
Meal: Sauteed Cabbage and Bean Tacos with Avocado and Sour Cream
Description: Thinly sliced green cabbage is sauteed with Old El Paso taco seasoning and combined with warmed Old El Paso refried beans as the protein-packed filling for three soft or crunchy tacos. Each taco is finished with sliced avocado and a dollop of Mayfield sour cream for a bright, creamy, fully vegetarian taco night.
Sale items used: Green Cabbage ($0.69/lb), Old El Paso Taco Seasoning (.85-1 oz, $0.99), Old El Paso Refried Beans (2 for $3.00), Old El Paso Taco Shells/Tostadas (2 for $4.00), Avocados (3 for $2.00), Mayfield Sour Cream (12-16 oz, $1.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase roughly 0.5 lb of green cabbage (estimated cost $0.35 at $0.69/lb). Use about half a can of refried beans, 1 avocado from the 3-for-$2.00 deal, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of sour cream. The remaining refried beans, sour cream, and avocados carry forward to Thursday and Friday.
Check the label: refried beans are often made with lard.
Thursday
Meal: Chili-Loaded Baked Potatoes with Sargento Slices and Best Choice Sour Cream
Description: A large russet-style red or gold potato is baked until fluffy inside, then split and piled high with warmed Armour chili with beans, a slice of melted Sargento cheese, and a cool spoonful of Best Choice sour cream. This is a filling, hands-off weeknight dinner that comes together with minimal active cooking time.
Sale items used: Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag, 2 for $7.00), Armour Chili With Beans (14 oz, $1.99), Sargento Slices (3.49-6.67 oz, $3.49), Best Choice Sour Cream (8 oz, $0.99)
Prep time: 60 minutes (mostly unattended baking)
Serving note: Use 1 large potato (roughly 0.5 lb) from the bag purchased Monday. Use half the can of Armour chili (save the rest for a quick lunch) and 1 to 2 Sargento slices. Make-ahead tip: microwave the potato for 8 to 10 minutes if you want to cut total time to about 15 minutes.
Friday
Meal: Braised Green Cabbage and Refried Bean Enchiladas with Enchilada Sauce and Sargento Shreds
Description: Soft flour tortillas are filled with braised green cabbage and the remaining refried beans, rolled up snugly, and covered with Old El Paso enchilada sauce before baking until the edges are slightly crisp. Sargento shredded cheese is scattered over the top for the last few minutes of baking, creating a melty, satisfying vegetarian enchilada plate for one.
Sale items used: Green Cabbage ($0.69/lb), Old El Paso Refried Beans (2 for $3.00), Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (2 for $3.00), Sargento Shreds (5-8 oz, $2.99)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly 0.5 lb of green cabbage (estimated cost $0.35 at $0.69/lb), the remaining half can of refried beans from Wednesday, and about half a can of enchilada sauce. Roll 3 medium flour tortillas (pantry staple). The Sargento Shreds bag is shared with Monday and Tuesday meals.
Check the label: refried beans are often made with lard.
