Meal Plan for Week 49 (Group 2)

Week 49 Summary
Notes for this week
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.
