Tips for this Week's Meal Plan

Ground Beef: Use all ground beef or swap it out for ground turkey or ground chicken. An easy way to cut down on cost is to replace 1 pound of ground beef with a 15-ounce can pinto beans for the sloppy joe recipe AND taco meat recipe (note, grocery list assumes you are not doing this!)
Sunday: The recipe for sloppy joes makes enough for 8 large sandwiches. Reserve half to serve on top of baked potatoes on Wednesday night. If desired, make a double batch of oven fries and save half to reheat on Saturday night for dinner AND bake potatoes now to make Wednesday's dinner that much easier.
Monday: Serve a Caesar Salad or tossed salad with the Fettuccine and then use leftover romaine lettuce to serve with tacos, taco casserole, and taco pizza.
Tuesday: Prepare extra taco meat and refried beans on Tuesday night and save leftover taco meat and refried beans to use for Taco Pizza on Friday night and bean burritos for lunches. Use leftover toppings for taco casserole on Thursday (note that you CAN use leftover taco meat in the casserole as well. To do so, double or triple the taco meat on Tuesday, and safe HALF for the casserole. Mix with canned black beans (or 2 cups refried beans), corn, and salsa and bake as directed.
Wednesday: Prepare a fruit salad with your favorite fruits to use for Wednesday and Thursday night's meals. (optional)
Thursday & Friday: Put leftover taco meat/beans/toppings to use.
Saturday: Reheat oven fries if you prepped extra.
