Lidl Vegetarian Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Smoky Baked Bean and Egg Skillet with Corn Tortillas
Description: A hearty one-pan dinner where smoky baked beans are warmed in a small skillet, then two eggs are nestled in and cooked until just set for a satisfying protein-rich meal. Served with two warm corn tortillas for scooping, this is a fast and filling weeknight dinner built almost entirely from sale items.
Sale items used: Baked beans (24-28 oz., part of 3 for $5.00 mix and match), Hillandale Farms large grade A white eggs 30 ct. ($2.99), Small corn tortillas 25 oz. ($1.49)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly 1 cup of baked beans from the can (save the rest for Friday), crack 2 eggs directly into the skillet, and warm 2 corn tortillas in a dry pan. The 30-count egg carton will cover all egg-based meals this week. The 3 for $5.00 deal requires buying 3 items total - plan to grab 1 can of baked beans, 1 jar of salsa, and 1 jar of pickles to hit the mix-and-match threshold.

Check the label: some baked beans are cooked with bacon or pork fat.

Tuesday
Meal: Broccoli and Cheese Frittata with Side Salad
Description: A small oven-finished frittata made with 3 eggs and shredded cheese folded around tender broccoli florets makes a protein-packed, vegetable-forward dinner for one. Paired with a pre-washed side salad dressed simply with lemon juice, this meal is light yet satisfying and comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Broccoli crowns $1.49/lb, Hillandale Farms large grade A white eggs 30 ct. ($2.99 - already purchased Monday), Milbona cheese block assorted varieties 8 oz. 2 for $3.00 (Lidl Plus), Side salad assorted varieties 15-16 oz. $2.29, Lemons 2 lb. $2.29/pk
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy approximately 0.5 lb of broccoli crowns (estimated cost $0.75 for that portion). Use 3 eggs and about 1.5 oz of shredded cheese from the block. The 2-for-$3.00 cheese deal means buying 2 blocks - the second block carries through to Friday's tostadas. Use half the side salad bag and squeeze a wedge of lemon over it.

Wednesday
Meal: Barilla Protein+ Pasta with Carbone Sauce and Feta Crumbles
Description: A simple but elevated pasta dinner where a single serving of high-protein Barilla pasta is tossed with rich Carbone marinara and finished with crumbled PDO feta for a salty, tangy contrast. This meal comes together in about 20 minutes and delivers a satisfying vegetarian dinner with excellent protein content from both the pasta and the feta.
Sale items used: Barilla Protein+ pasta assorted varieties 14.5 oz. $2.49, Carbone sauce assorted varieties 24 oz. $6.99, Lidl Preferred Selection PDO feta cheese in brine 7 oz. $3.99 (Lidl Plus)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Cook approximately 2 oz dry pasta (about one-quarter of the box) for a single dinner serving. Use roughly one-third of the Carbone sauce jar (save the rest for another use this week or refrigerate). Crumble about 1.5 oz of feta over the finished bowl. Leftover pasta and sauce can be refrigerated for a quick lunch later in the week.

Thursday
Meal: Greek-Style Egg and Feta Scramble with Hummus and Warm Corn Tortillas
Description: Fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs are folded with crumbled feta cheese for a bright, Mediterranean-inspired scramble that comes together in minutes. Served alongside a generous scoop of creamy hummus and two warm corn tortillas for dipping and wrapping, this is a quick and protein-rich dinner that feels fresh and satisfying.
Sale items used: Hillandale Farms large grade A white eggs 30 ct. ($2.99 - already purchased), Lidl Preferred Selection PDO feta cheese in brine 7 oz. $3.99 (Lidl Plus - already purchased Wednesday), Hummus assorted varieties 10 oz. 2 for $4.00, Small corn tortillas 25 oz. $1.49 (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 eggs and crumble about 1.5 oz of feta into the scramble. The hummus is sold 2 for $4.00, so you will purchase 2 containers - use one container across Thursday and Friday. Warm 2 corn tortillas in a dry skillet. The feta block purchased Wednesday still has plenty remaining for this meal.

Friday
Meal: Bean and Cheese Loaded Corn Tortilla Tostadas with Salsa and Sour Cream
Description: Crispy baked corn tortillas are piled high with the remaining baked beans, shredded cheese, and a dollop of cool sour cream and zesty salsa for a fun, fully loaded vegetarian tostada dinner. Two to three tostadas make a complete and filling meal for one person, and the mix-and-match salsa purchased Monday pulls this whole plate together beautifully.
Sale items used: Small corn tortillas 25 oz. $1.49 (already purchased), Baked beans (already purchased Monday - use remaining portion), Milbona cheese block 8 oz. 2 for $3.00 (Lidl Plus - already purchased Tuesday), Baked beans / salsa / pickles 3 for $5.00 mix and match (salsa portion - already purchased), Sour cream light or regular 16 oz. $1.29
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Brush 2 to 3 corn tortillas lightly with oil and bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp. Top each with a spoonful of the remaining baked beans from Monday, shredded cheese from the second block, a spoonful of salsa from the mix-and-match jar, and a small dollop of sour cream. The 16 oz sour cream container will have plenty left over for other uses.

Check the label: some baked beans are cooked with bacon or pork fat.
