Meal Plan for Week 49 (Group 2)

Week 49 Summary

Notes for this week
  • For additional information about recipes, please visit the recipe post linked at the bottom of each recipe card.
  • Make enough chicken to reserve 2-3 cups chopped chicken from Day 2 for the Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili on Day 4. If you have extra, it freezes well for use in recipes calling for cooked chicken.
  • If you aren't making the grilled chicken on Day 2, you can use rotisserie chicken in the Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili.
  • The Beef Empanadas on Day 3 freeze well. Depending on how many you need for dinner, there may be enough to freezer (or you can make extra).
  • The Penne Pasta Bake on Day 5 freezes well; you may want to double the ingredients on your shopping list and make an extra pan for the freezer.
  • The Beef Empanadas and the Penne Pasta Bake use cooked ground beef from the freezer, so this would be a good time to plan to replenish your freezer stock of cooked ground beef.
