March Meal in a Jar Recipe

Published: Sat, 03/02/19

It's time for March's Meal-in-a-Jar recipes! I'm pretty excited about what we are making this month. We've been testing them out at my house this week and my kids approve.

Thrive's March monthly specials are all savory and feature two of my favorite meats. I did a poll in my Facebook group to decide what recipe to make and you guys chose Philly Cheeesteaks so we'll be making those but I also wanted to include another breakfast idea since the oatmeal jars were so popular last month.

Don't forget that in order to get the best prices, perks, and free shipping you will want to make sure you are signed up for Thrive's delivery service. All orders over $100 to the United States and Canada (except Hawaii and Alaska) are free shipping, and you can pause or cancel at any time. Every month you can go in and edit your delivery to include the ingredients for your jar meals as well as any other items you might want to add to your pantry or to your food storage!

It's the BEST way to buy Thrive even if you don't plan to share at all. It's also fun to share with friends and I can help you with that too,

EGGS-IN-A-JAR

1/2 pint jars (makes about 25 jars)

1/4 cup Thrive scrambled egg mix (1 #10 can)
1 T. Thrive chopped onions (1 pantry can)
2 T. Thrive green bell peppers (1 pantry can)
2 T. Thrive mushrooms (1 pantry can)
2 T. sausage crumbles (optional - 1 pantry can)
1 T. cheddar cheese (optional - 1 pantry can)

When ready to serve, add 1/2 cup water to your jar and shake well. Spray a large coffee mug with pam spray and pour egg mixture in. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave for 1 more minute. Eat! Thanks to my friend Tracy for the idea to do this in a jar.

The Scrambled Egg Mix is a little pricy so you can also do these without the eggs included and just add to fresh eggs in the morning as you scramble them. They will hydrate while the eggs cook and make a delicious veggie egg scramble. When I'm doing them without eggs I just use a little ziplock bag as shown above. You can also do with or without the sausage/cheese and add more veggies instead.

BEEF PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS

This month we are making a recipe modified from a single-serve recipe by Christina on Thrive's recipe site. This recipe will fit in one quart jar and feed 4-6 people.

Beef Philly Cheesesteaks Recipe

1 c. Thrive Shredded Beef (FD)
1 c. Thrive Mozzarella Cheese (FD)
1/3 c. Thrive Green Bell Peppers (FD)
1/3 c. Thrive Mushroom (FD)
1/2 c. Thrive Sliced Onions (FD)
1 1/2 T. Thrive Espagnole Sauce
1 tsp. Thrive Chef's Choice

In a large saucepan bring 1 1/4 cups of water to a boil. Add contents of jar and let simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Serve on a hogi bun, in a lettuce wrap, or eat plain as a stew.

SHOPPING LIST

Add these items to your monthly delivery and you should be able to make 10-12 jars worth of meals. Sometimes the product settles and you won't get a full 12 cups out of a #10 can or certain ingredients have a few less servings. I'd rather have you plan to have some extras than be sad about not having enough!

Thrive FD Thrive Shredded Beef (1 #10 can)
Thrive FD Thrive Mozzarella Cheese (1 #10 can)
Thrive FD Green Bell Peppers (1 pantry can)
Thrive FD Mushrooms (1 pantry can)
Thrive Sliced Onions (2 pantry cans)
Thrive Espagnole Sauce (1 pantry can)
Thrive Chef's Choice Seasning (1 spice jar)

Remember feel free to customize your delivery if you already have some of these items on hand (a few are from last month) or want to substitute a different product or brand. Also make sure to adjust your delivery each month for the new recipe so you don't get sent the same items again!
