5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Assorted Pork Chops with Roasted Broccoli and Buttered Egg Noodles
Description: A juicy pork chop is seasoned simply and pan-seared until golden, served alongside tender roasted broccoli florets and a small bowl of buttered egg noodles that kids love. This simple, familiar dinner comes together quickly on a weeknight with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops (Family Pack) at $1.59/lb, Broccoli Crowns at $1.99/lb
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Buy approximately 0.5 lb of assorted pork chops (1 bone-in chop, roughly $0.80 worth); use about half a broccoli crown (roughly 0.5 lb, about $1.00 worth); cook 1 cup dry egg noodles from pantry. Family pack is large - portion out one chop and freeze the rest for later in the week or future meals.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Breaded Fish Fillets or Sticks with Baby Carrots and Heinz Dipping Sauce
Description: Crispy golden breaded fish fillets or sticks are baked in the oven until perfectly crunchy, making them a total crowd-pleaser for kids who love dipping everything. A handful of fresh baby carrots on the side adds color and crunch, and the Heinz dipping sauce makes it extra fun.
Sale items used: Mrs. Paul's or Van De Kamp's Breaded Fish Fillets or Sticks (Family Size, 19-24.6 oz) at $5.99 each, Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb) at $0.99 each, Heinz Dipping Sauce (8 oz) at $2.99 each
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Bake 3 to 4 fish fillets or about 8 to 10 fish sticks for one serving; the family-size box will have plenty left over for another meal or snack later in the week. Serve with a small handful (about 6 to 8 carrots) and a generous squeeze of Heinz dipping sauce.

Wednesday
Meal: Jimmy Dean Sausage and Pasta Skillet with Classico Tomato Sauce
Description: Sliced or crumbled Jimmy Dean sausage is browned in a skillet and tossed with cooked pasta and warm Classico tomato sauce for a hearty, cheesy one-pan dinner kids go crazy for. It is simple, savory, and ready in under 30 minutes with very little mess.
Sale items used: Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage (16 oz) at $3.99 each, Classico Pasta Sauce (15-24 oz) at $2.49 each, Barilla Pasta (8.8-14.5 oz) at 2/$4.00
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 4 oz (roughly one quarter of the 16 oz sausage roll) for one serving; refrigerate or freeze the rest. Cook about 2 oz dry pasta (roughly 1 cup cooked) and use about half a cup of Classico sauce. The pasta comes in a 2/$4.00 deal - buy 2 boxes at $2.00 each and keep the second for another week.
Thursday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Whole Chicken with Russet Potatoes and Baby Carrots
Description: A whole Springer Mountain Farms chicken is seasoned simply and roasted in the oven until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy, filling the kitchen with a wonderful aroma kids will love. Russet potato chunks and baby carrots roast right alongside the chicken in the same pan for an easy, satisfying one-pan dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh Whole Chicken (Springer Mountain Farms) at $1.69/lb, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (5 lb bag) at $2.99 each, Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb) at $0.99 each
Prep time: 20 minutes active, about 75 minutes total including roasting
Serving note: A small whole chicken typically weighs 3 to 4 lbs; at $1.69/lb a 3.5 lb bird costs about $5.92. Roast the whole chicken and enjoy one or two pieces for dinner, then refrigerate the rest for sandwiches or another meal later in the week - this is great make-ahead value. Use 2 medium russet potatoes from the 5 lb bag and about 6 to 8 baby carrots. The potato bag will last all week.
Recipes:

- Whole Roast Chicken (with Potatoes and Carrots)

Meal: Skillet-Cooked Ground Beef Cheeseburgers with Beefsteak Tomatoes and Borden Sliced Cheese
Description: A juicy ground beef patty is cooked in a hot skillet and topped with a melty slice of Borden cheese, served on a bun with a fresh slice of beefsteak tomato for a classic kid-approved cheeseburger night. Simple, fun, and totally delicious - kids can even help press the patties.
Sale items used: Fresh Ground Beef (Family Pack) at $4.79/lb, Borden Sliced Cheese (5-12 oz) at 2/$4.00, Beefsteak Tomatoes at $1.49/lb
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Buy approximately 0.5 lb of ground beef for one generous patty or two smaller ones (about $2.40 worth); the family pack is large so portion out what you need and freeze the rest in individual patty portions. Use 1 to 2 slices of Borden cheese from the pack; buy 2 packs at $2.00 each to get the sale price. Use about 0.25 lb of beefsteak tomato (roughly 1 medium slice, about $0.37 worth).
