Sampler packs and family packs often include several proteins, so a flexible plan works best. Pick one slow-cook meal, one skillet meal, one sheet-pan meal, and one broth or soup starter.

Ingredients

• Assorted steaks, roasts, chicken pieces, ground meat, sausage, or bacon
• Broth, soup bones, or leftover bones
• Onions, carrots, celery, garlic, peppers, and greens
• Olive oil, avocado oil, beef tallow, chicken fat, or butter
• Sea salt, black pepper, herbs, paprika, cumin, and chili powder
• Lemon, vinegar, mustard, salsa, or no-sugar sauce
• Salad greens, cauliflower rice, potatoes, or sweet potatoes for serving

Directions

1. Choose one slow-cook cut, one quick-cook cut, and one ground or sausage item for the week.
2. Cook the slow item with broth, vegetables, and herbs for dinner plus leftovers.
3. Use quick-cook cuts for skillet meals, sheet-pan meals, or salads.
4. Brown ground meat or sausage with vegetables for bowls, wraps, or casseroles.
5. Save bones and leftovers for soup or broth.
