Free Meal Planning at Aldi.com

http://www.aldimeals.com/

The above link is a free meal planner.  You can find recipes and organize them into a weekly calendar.  Then it will generate a shopping list for you.  I tried it this weekend and shopped at my favorite grocery store (Macys!!!!).  We have already tried a couple of the recipes they have available on the site.  I am posting one below.  We had it for dinner last night, it is your classic meat/noodle/tomato recipe with Steak instead of ground beef.  I also added some corn.  

Beefy Chili Mac - 4 servings

Preparation: 10 min.   Cooking: 25 min.   Total: 35 min.

  • 1 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 1 lb cube steak, cut lengthwise into 1 in. strips and then crosswise into 1 in. pieces
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3-1/2 cups canned Mexican style diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1-1/2 cups rotini pasta, or other spiral pasta, uncooked
  • Corn
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Cook beef and onion 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until beef is browned. Stir in tomatoes, pasta and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
