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 built around smoky baked beans and four eggs cracked directly into the skillet, finished with a drizzle of barbecue sauce for depth and warmth. Served with warm corn tortillas for scooping, this satisfying meal comes together in under 30 minutes with almost no cleanup.
Sale items used: Baked beans (24-28 oz., from the 3 for $5.00 mix-and-match deal), Hillandale Farms large eggs (30 ct.), Small corn tortillas (25 oz.), Sweet Baby Ray's honey barbecue sauce (18 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 can (about 24-28 oz.) of baked beans and 4 large eggs for 2 people; warm 4 corn tortillas (about 6-inch size) per person, so 8 total from the 25 oz. bag. Add 1-2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce stirred into the beans before adding the eggs. The barbecue sauce bottle will carry over for the rest of the week.

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

Tuesday
Meal: Broccoli and Cheese Frittata with Side Salad
Description: A golden, oven-finished frittata packed with tender broccoli florets and melted shredded cheese from the Milbona cheese block makes a protein-rich, filling dinner for two. Paired with a ready-to-eat side salad dressed simply with lemon juice, this meal is light yet satisfying and takes about 30 minutes start to finish.
Sale items used: Hillandale Farms large eggs (30 ct.), Broccoli crowns ($1.49/lb), Milbona cheese block assorted varieties (2 for $3.00), Side salad assorted varieties (15-16 oz.), Lemons 2 lb. pack ($2.29/pk)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 6 large eggs whisked together for a frittata sized for 2; assume 0.75 lb of broccoli crowns (about $1.12 worth) cut into small florets. Shred or crumble roughly 2-3 oz. of cheese from one 8 oz. block. Use half the side salad bag and squeeze a quarter of one lemon over it as dressing. The remaining cheese block, eggs, and lemons carry forward to later meals.

Wednesday
Meal: Barilla Protein+ Pasta with Carbone Sauce and Feta Crumbles
Description: A simple but elevated weeknight pasta using Barilla Protein+ for extra staying power, tossed with a generous ladle of Carbone marinara and topped with crumbled PDO feta for a salty, tangy finish.

Crumble 2-3 oz. of feta over both bowls. The remaining pasta, sauce, and feta can be stored for later in the week.

Thursday
Meal: Greek-Style Egg and Feta Scramble with Hummus and Warm Corn Tortillas
Description: Fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned simply and folded with crumbled feta cheese create a quick, protein-packed Greek-inspired scramble that pairs beautifully with creamy hummus and warm corn tortillas for dipping and wrapping. This is a fast, satisfying meal that uses pantry and fridge staples already purchased earlier in the week.
Sale items used: Hillandale Farms large eggs (30 ct.), Lidl Preferred Selection PDO feta cheese in brine (7 oz., remainder from Wednesday), Hummus assorted varieties (2 for $4.00), Small corn tortillas (25 oz., remainder from Monday)

Serving note: Scramble 4 large eggs (2 per person) and fold in 2 oz. of crumbled feta at the end of cooking. Serve each plate with 2-3 tablespoons of hummus on the side and 3-4 warm corn tortillas per person (6-8 total). One 10 oz. container of hummus is plenty for both servings with leftovers.

Friday
Meal: Bean and Cheese Loaded Corn Tortilla Tostadas with Salsa and Sour Cream
Description: Crispy baked corn tortillas are loaded with seasoned baked beans, shredded cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and a dollop of cool sour cream for a festive, crowd-pleasing Friday dinner. Using ingredients already in the cart from earlier in the week keeps this meal nearly free of extra cost while delivering bold, satisfying flavors.
Sale items used: Small corn tortillas (25 oz., remainder from Monday and Thursday), Baked beans (from the 3 for $5.00 mix-and-match, second can), Milbona cheese block assorted varieties (remainder from Tuesday), Baked beans / salsa / pickles mix-and-match (salsa, 24-28 oz.), Sour cream light or regular 16 oz. ($1.29 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Brush 4-5 corn tortillas per person (8-10 total) lightly with oil and bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until crisp. Top each tostada with a spoonful of baked beans (use the second can from the mix-and-match deal), shredded cheese, salsa, and a small dollop of sour cream. Two to three loaded tostadas per person makes a full meal; the sour cream and salsa containers will have plenty left over.
