Make a meal under $5 for 4 people - think you can do it???
Needing some cheap meal ideas so anyone have a good meal for 4 people that cost under $5 to make? Not including kraft dinner, ramen etc. I mean a from scratch meal.
Make patties out of the ground beef. Peel and slice onion. Slice potatoes into chunks. Place each patty in the center of a large sheet of foil. Top with onion, potatoes, and carrots. Close packet and seal well. Bake in oven at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour, or until done.
a box of pasta 1$
a bag of frozen vegies 1$
a pound of hamburger meat 2$
a can of cream of cheddar soup 1$
These prices are from the save-a-lot in my town. cook the pasta, meat, and vegies then mix it all together it's surprisingly good.
The extent of American ignorance continues to amaze me
In large skillet, brown beef and drain well. Add beans, Ro-Tel, Rice, and Chili Powder. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until rice is done. Uncover and top with cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until cheese melts. Serve with tortilla or corn chips.
larg cane of the cheap cream of shroom or chicken a block of cheddar (have to shred it) a bag of elbow noodle and chicken or tuna.
in casserole dish
mix cand and half the cheese with cooked elbows, and chicken cooked and chunked or shredded / or the tuna mix well and rest of cheese to top stick in oven at 350 degrees till cheese melts
A bag of big butter beans, a piece of fatback/other seasoning and 1 can of flakey biscuits. Soak the beans over night. Put them in a pot covered in water with the seasoning meat. Let it simmer and cook for approximately 45 mins to 1 hour. Pull the biscuits layers apart and put it in the pot. The biscuit layers fluff up to make 'dumplings' very yummo and makes a lot! After you put the biscuits in cook another 10-15 mins and then serve :)
Or spaghetti. Lol can't go wrong there. 1 lb hamburger, spaghetti sauce and noodles. If you got some cheese you can add that on the noodles when they are hot and the cheese melts. Yum I love it that way!
White rice, black beans (dry beans bag), and fried eggs :)
