Kroger Kosher Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The Italian chicken sausage at $4.99 for a full pound and the boneless chicken breasts at $3.99/lb are the real workhorses this week, each feeding four people for under $10 and anchoring three of the five nights between them. Ground beef at $6.99/lb is a solid mid-week choice that stretches well in a skillet meal, giving you a hearty dinner for around $10 in protein. The ribeye at $12.99/lb is genuinely the premium pick this week - even at the sale price it runs about $26 in protein alone for four people - so it earns exactly one night as a special Friday dinner. The Prego pasta sauce at $1.59 and Kroger pasta at 4 for $5 are standout multi-buy values that make Tuesday's pasta night one of the cheapest meals of the week. Keeping the ribeye to one night and leaning on the sausage and chicken breasts for the other four keeps the week's total comfortably in range.

Tuesday
Meal: Simmered Ground Beef and Prego Pasta Sauce over Kroger Pasta

Thursday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef and Sweet Corn Hash with Hatch Sweet Onions
Description: (Meat) The remaining ground beef is crumbled and cooked with sweet corn cut from the cob and diced Hatch sweet onions, seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic for a hearty, colorful skillet hash.

Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Ribeye Steaks with Sauteed Hatch Chile Peppers
Description: (Meat) Boneless ribeye steaks are seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then seared in a hot cast-iron skillet to a flavorful crust, and served alongside quickly sauteed Hatch chile peppers for a festive end-of-week dinner. No dairy is used - a finish of olive oil and fresh garlic from the pantry keeps the plate rich and kosher.
Sale items used: Boneless Ribeye Steaks (Family Pack, Limit 5), Hatch Chile Peppers
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of Boneless Ribeye Steaks (Family Pack) at $12.99/lb for 4 people; use about 0.5 lb Hatch Chile Peppers. Steaks are best at room temperature before searing - remove from refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking.
