Not sure what to do with your Butcher Box meat? Here’s a free 4-week meal plan of butcher box recipes that the whole family will love!
Butcher Box is a company that has grown in popularity in the last few years – especially in 2020.
We’ve been fans of them for a while and we often get a lot of questions about their quality, customer service and a lot more.
If you are new to Butcher Box and are not sure if you want to invest the money, be sure to read our Butcher Box Review. We go over EVERYTHING you need to know about Butcher Box.
But in this post we wanted to share a four week butcher box meal plan! Once you get your meat you are probably wondering “what should I do with all of this ?!” That’s why we’ve put together a delicious roundup of Butcher Box recipes based on some of their most popular offerings.
Most Popular Butcher Box Cuts
I reached out to Butcher Box to see what their 2020 bestsellers were and they said the most popular options were:
- Minced meat
- bacon
- Ribeyes
- Boneless and skinless chicken breasts
- NY strip steaks
- Unhardened bacon
- Boneless pork chops
- Filet Mignon
- Sockeye salmon
- Top sirloin steaks
After trying most – if not all – of these items, I can confirm their quality and taste. I’m definitely interested in their ground beef and bacon.
I thought about creating the menu from all of these, but decided that if I approached this menu a little differently, I would be able to get more meals for your money.
Meat in this menu
Instead, I decided to make a “big box” that you can replicate. The big box comes with 12 pieces of meat so I chose a variety that I think is easy to cook and that you can get multiple meals out of!
You can easily replicate this box by going into your Butcher Box account, selecting the large box, and then adding the following meat to your box:
- 2 lb. 85/15 ground beef
- 2.25 lb chuck roast
- 3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 pound chicken legs on the bone
- 10 ounces of bacon
- 2 pounds of sockeye salmon
- 5.5 pounds of bone in pork butt
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 2 pounds of ground Italian sausage
- 2 pound steak bites
- 2.8 lb baby back ribs
- 2.5 pound round roast
Below is a meal plan of various recipes – some from Clarks Condensed, others from the Butcher Box website. But it should give you a good idea of what all you can do with your upcoming box.
This meal plan should feed about four people. There are enough recipes to cook five days a week. For the remaining two days you can eat leftovers, choose a meat-free meal, or go out to eat!
