Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Lasagna - even though the ingredients are cheaper, its not a fast meal to cook. To make I usually buy, one can of olives (sliced) 1lb hamburger meat, 1 can of your favorite spagehitti sauce, sliced mushrooms, a can of diced tomatoes, and the lasagna noodles.

Chili- kidney beans, onion, tomato sauce, taco seasoning. Top with shredded cheese, diced onion, sour cream, and eat with Frito's or saltines.

Spaghetti

Shrimp Scampi over plain rice served with steamed veggies. I usually buy a cheap pkg of rice and a cheap frozen bag of veggies. The most expensive thing on this is the shrimp. But you can get it as low as 4.99 a lb when its on sale or buy it already pre-made.

Black Eye Pea Soup. Black eye peas, chicken broth, little garlic powder, and had chunks of Cook's already cooked ham. You can adjust the water amount to adjust to your liking.
Serve with corn bread.

Chef Salad- Bag of salad, cucumber, tomato, onion (if you like) boiled eggs, shredded cheese, sliced ham, turkey or chicken. Top with the dressing of your choice.
