I kind of winged it and made impromptu Cheeseburger mac. I say it like that because I didn't use Hamburger Helper, l used velveeta shells and cheese and Hamburger meat. I also made biscuits.
So without further ado, heres a breakdown of approx what I spent on dinner for four.
one pound lean hamburgermeat- $5
Velveeta Shell to cheese $2
assorted spices $0.50
biscuits $1
so for about $8.50 or about $2.12 per person we had a filling meal.
I forgot to take a picture but it was good. What did you have for dinner tonight?

I made orange chicken and rice, and pot stickers. I was going to roast a chicken tonight, but I forgot that tonight is the Cole Swindell concert at UF, so I’ll probably just grab some fast food on the way to the concert.

@thislittlepennyearns I finally got around to making the roasted chicken two nights ago. It was delicious. We had butter and herb mashed potatoes and sweet corn for sides. Last night was pizza for us since we went to the NHL hockey game in Tampa.

Let’s see, I had a Lean Cuisine “steamer” with chicken, pasta, sauce, and red peppers. I think you beat me for taste, even though mine was quite good. You had me at “biscuits.”

I have been doing this for years. You can make different flavors: chili, taco, cheeseburger, etc. I think you already found out that is tastes better that Hamburger Helper and also cheaper! Plus you don't have all the preservatives and artificial ingredients in your home cooked meal! Win!
We had leftover jambalaya for dinner tonight.
