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-crisped with colorful bell peppers and seasoned with pantry spices, then topped with four fried eggs and a generous handful of melted Sargento shreds for a hearty, satisfying dinner for two. This one-skillet meal comes together quickly and makes great use of the sale potatoes and peppers.
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 ($2.99)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about 1.5 lbs of potatoes for two people; crack 4 eggs total (2 per person); use 1 bell pepper and about 1/3 of the Sargento shreds bag. The 5 lb potato bag and dozen eggs will carry over for later meals this week.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Ricotta and Bell Pepper Stuffed Pasta with Rao's Pasta Sauce
Description: Large pasta shells are filled with creamy Galbani ricotta mixed with diced roasted bell pepper and herbs, then nestled in Rao's pasta sauce and baked until bubbly and golden for two generous portions. This dish is rich, comforting, and completely vegetarian with excellent protein from the ricotta and eggs.
Sale items used: Galbani Ricotta 16 oz ($1.99), Red/Yellow/Orange Bell Peppers (2 for $3.00, using the second pepper from Monday's purchase), Rao's Pasta Sauce 32 oz ($7.99), Vital Farm Pasture Raised Large Eggs (using eggs from Monday's dozen), Sargento Shreds ($2.99)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use the full 16 oz ricotta container, 1 egg as a binder, 1 bell pepper diced, and about half the jar of Rao's sauce; stuff approximately 16 to 18 large shells for two people. Shells are a pantry staple. Make-ahead tip: assemble the dish up to a day ahead and refrigerate unbaked; add 10 minutes to bake time if going in cold.
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 Old El Paso refried beans, then spooned into warm taco shells and topped with creamy sliced avocado and a dollop of Mayfield sour cream. This bright, filling taco night for two is full of fiber and plant-based protein.
Sale items used: Green Cabbage ($0.69/lb), Old El Paso Taco Seasoning ($0.99), Old El Paso Taco Shells or Tostadas (2 for $4.00), Old El Paso Refried Beans (2 for $3.00), Avocados (3 for $2.00), Mayfield Sour Cream ($1.99)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy about 1 lb of green cabbage (approximately $0.69); use 1 can of refried beans; use 2 avocados for two people; plan on 4 to 5 taco shells per person (8 to 10 total). The sour cream and remaining avocado carry over to Thursday.
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: Large russet-style red or gold potatoes are baked until fluffy, then split open and loaded with hearty Armour chili with beans, melted Sargento slices, and a cool spoonful of Best Choice sour cream for a filling and budget-friendly dinner for two. This meal is warming, protein-rich, and uses pantry and sale items efficiently.
Sale items used: Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (using potatoes from Monday's 5 lb bag), Armour Chili With Beans 14 oz ($1.99), Sargento Slices ($3.49), Best Choice Sour Cream 8 oz ($0.99)
Prep time: 60 minutes (mostly bake time)
Serving note: Use 2 large potatoes (about 1 lb total) from the bag purchased Monday; use 1 can of chili split between two potatoes; use 2 to 3 Sargento slices per potato. Make-ahead tip: microwave the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes if you want to cut total time to about 20 minutes.
Friday
Meal: Braised Green Cabbage and Refried Bean Enchiladas with Enchilada Sauce and Sargento Shreds
Description: Tender braised green cabbage is combined with the second can of refried beans, rolled into corn tortillas, smothered in Old El Paso enchilada sauce, topped with Sargento shreds, and baked until melted and bubbly for a satisfying vegetarian dinner for two. This hearty enchilada bake is a flavorful and filling end to the week.
Sale items used: Green Cabbage (using remaining cabbage from Wednesday's purchase), Old El Paso Refried Beans (second can from Wednesday's 2 for $3.00 deal), Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (2 for $3.00), Sargento Shreds (second bag, $2.99)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Roll approximately 4 to 5 enchiladas per person (8 to 10 total) using corn tortillas (pantry staple); use the full second can of refried beans and the full can of enchilada sauce; top with the remaining or second bag of Sargento shreds. Assemble ahead and refrigerate; bake when ready.
