  4. Thursday: The Best Instant Pot Beef Stew
  5. Friday: Cranberry Chicken

Your Sunday Prep-Ahead Plan

  • Ground Beef: You can cook the ground beef ahead of time for Monday and Wednesday to make the total cooking time easier. Simply cook it with the onions and store properly until needed. You can portion it out for each day so it’s ready to go.
  • Cranberry Mix: Whisk the ingredients for the cranberry sauce ahead of time so it’s quick and ready to pour over the chicken when it comes time to cook. Store properly and refrigerate until needed.

P.S. Looking for lunch ideas?

Shred the leftover chicken and serve it on a bun for a sweet take on a BBQ chicken sandwich.

Enjoy!
