​Hi friends!

When you hear "Oscar Mayer," what do you think of?  Hot dogs?  Wieners?  Do you want to sing "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wienerrrrrr... that is what I truly wish to beeeee"? 🎶🌭​ Well, it might surprise you to know that Oscar Mayer makes everything from franks (yes!) and kielbasa to bacon and deli meats too.  So, the options are truly endless when it comes to meal planning with Oscar Mayer products.  Keep scrolling to see just how we did this and WHY. 

WHY CHOOSE OSCAR MAYER? 

Did you know that 2017, Oscar Mayer actually took out artificial preservatives, added nitrates and nitrites and by-products for a better dog across their whole product line?!  You can see the claims right on their packaging! 

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL WITH NITRATES & NITRITES? 

Both nitrates and nitrites are popular preservatives for meat and often used to cure meats to prevent the bacteria that causes botulism to grow.  This curing can lead to the formation of potentially cancer-causing (carcinogenic) chemicals.  Yikes. 

Luckily, Oscar Mayer offers many high quality products that we can feel good about enjoying without also giving up the foods we love most! Just check out how we meal planned with a variety of these artificial preservative-free and no-added nitrate/nitrite Oscar Mayer goodies everyday for a whole week! 

Here are our meal plan details... 

• MONDAY: Our "One-Pot Chili" recipe + Oscar Mayer Lean Beef Uncured Franks for a fun take on Chili Dogs, but without the mess.  
• TUESDAY: BALTs made with Oscar Mayer Natural Smoked Uncured Bacon
• WEDNESDAY: Leftovers! 
• THURSDAY: Ate out. 
• FRIDAY: Turkey Caesar Wraps with Oscar Mayer Natural Slow Roasted Turkey Breast
• SATURDAY: We tried this new "Chicago-Style Hot Dog Salad" from Tablespoon. 
• SUNDAY: We threw together a Sheet Pan Sausage & Veggies meal with Oscar Mayer Natural Uncured Turkey Sausage that is definitely making it onto our Master Meals list! 

Could you meal plan with Oscar Mayer everyday?!  We sure had fun taking on the challenge!
