Meal Planning for the Week – Make 3 Meals from 1 Meat

by Melissa Leave a Comment

 

After looking through the sales ads for, Kroger was the winner for our meal planning. Some people may have time to go to several stores to really take advantage of all of the deals. However, most of us are just thankful to make it to one. Taking the time to see where the best deals are and organizing meals around that really will save time and money. That is why meal planning from what is on sale is so important.

As a bonus, there are two easy recipes included! Here is a link to this week’s Kroger Ad (February 14-20, 2018).

This week we are creating 3 meals from one cut of meat. When you get home with your pork tenderloin, slice off 4 chops, and save for the Pork Chops with Creamy Mustard Sauce. Use the remaining pork tenderloin for the crock pot meal. The leftover pork from the crock pot will be used in the Pork Fried Rice. It’s a great way to save money and time!

  • Monday – Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin
  • Tuesday – Parmesan Turkey Meatballs with Cream of Chicken and Herb Sauce
  • Wednesday – Pork Fried Rice
  • Thursday – Pork Chops with Creamy Mustard Sauce
  • Friday – Shrimp Primavera with Garlic Sauce

Try this easy weeknight meal that will taste like you spent all day.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless pork tenderloin
  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

  1. Cut pork into 1-inch thick slices.
  2. Place pork between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten to 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add olive oil to pan, and saute ginger and garlic on medium-high heat.
  5. Add 2 pieces of pork to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked.
  6. Remove from skillet; cover with foil to keep warm.
  7. Cook remaining pork, remove from skillet, and keep warm.

Try this twist on meatbals.

Ingredients

    Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Sauce
  • 1 can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken & Herb Condensed Soup
  • 1/2 can water
  • 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • dash of garlic powder

Directions

  1. Mix meatball ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Shape into 1/2″ to 1″ meatballs.
  3. Brown meatballs over medium or medium-high in frying pan and cover.
  4. Turn meatballs every few minutes to brown all sides.
  5. Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over meatballs.
  6. Cover and simmer at medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Yum!

The meatball recipe is great to double. Freeze half of the cooked meatballs (before you add the Cream of Chicken Sauce) to use in spaghetti another time.

As with any recipes, feel free to substitute and enhance to put your own spin on it! Bon appetit!
