Taco Bell Grilled Cheese Steak Burrito at Home! I'm a former Taco Bell employee, and this is one of my favorite menu items! 🥩 STEAK 1 lb top sirloin, thinly sliced ½ tsp salt 1 tsp brown sugar ½ tsp beef bouillon ⅛ tsp cocoa powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp paprika ½ tsp cornstarch Sauce: ½ cup water 1 tsp beef bouillon 1 tsp brown sugar ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp garlic powder ⅛ tsp cocoa powder ½ tsp cornstarch Cut steak against the grain for tenderness. Toss with dry seasonings and sear in a little oil over medium-high heat. Whisk sauce ingredients together, pour over steak and simmer gently until cooked through and lightly thickened. Add water if needed. 🍚 SEASONED RICE 2 cups white rice 2 cups water 2 tbsp Knorr Tomato Chicken Bouillon 2 tbsp oil ¾ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp paprika Rinse rice until water runs mostly clear. Add everything to rice cooker, stir and use the white rice setting. Fluff before serving. Adjust water to your cooker's instructions. 🌶️ CHIPOTLE SAUCE 1 cup mayonnaise 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo 1 tsp adobo sauce ½ tsp each chili powder, sugar, salt ¼ tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika Blend until creamy. Refrigerate until needed. 🌯 ASSEMBLY Large flour tortillas Seasoned steak and rice Nacho cheese (I use frito's jalapeno cheddar) Chipotle sauce Tortilla strips Sour cream Shredded Mexican-blend cheese Warm tortilla so it's flexible. Layer rice, steak, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, tortilla strips and sour cream. Fold sides in and roll tightly. Toast seam-side down in a skillet. Remove, sprinkle cheese into a nonstick skillet and place burrito on top, untoasted side down. Cook over medium-low until cheese melts and turns golden. Let cool slightly so the cheese sets on the tortilla. Is this easier than just spending $8 at Taco Bell? Absolutely not. 😂 But we order these often enough that I love knowing how to make them at home! Want a separate tutorial for the steak, rice or sauce? Tell me which one! #tacobellathome #grilledcheeseburrito #tacobellrecipes #tacobellcopycat #homemadefastfood

Dinner #1 from my $50 grocery haul 🍴 Tonight we're making a One Pan Smoked Sausage Broccoli & Cheddar Pasta. This recipe is a great example of how I approach budget cooking. Instead of buying butter, flour, milk, and several seasonings to make a cheese sauce from scratch, we're using a jar of alfredo sauce as a creamy, pre-seasoned base and transforming it into a broccoli cheddar sauce with a little cheese and some smoked sausage. The goal isn't to make the fanciest dinner possible. The goal is to make a dinner that's affordable, easy to follow, family-friendly, and made with ingredients that can be used throughout the week. And honestly? This one tastes way more expensive than it is. #budgetmeals #cheapmeals #familydinner #mealplanning #dinnerideas

Farmer's Breakfast (Breakfast Scramble) You asked for the breakfast scramble, so here it is! 🍳🥔 This is basically my take on a farmer’s breakfast: simple potatoes, bacon, onions and eggs cooked together into one very filling skillet. • 4 medium potatoes, peeled + diced small • 1 medium onion, diced • 1 lb bacon, chopped • 8 eggs, beaten • 1 tbsp butter • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1/2 tsp onion powder • 1/2 tsp paprika • 1/2 tsp black pepper • 2–3 tbsp water • 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese • Green onions, optional • Ketchup for serving, optional Rinse the diced potatoes well in cold water, then drain and pat mostly dry. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes. When it’s almost done, add the onion and cook another 3–5 minutes, until softened. Remove the bacon and onion but leave the bacon fat behind. Add the butter, then the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and toss well. Add a splash of water, cover and let the potatoes steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 10–15 minutes, tossing every few minutes, until tender inside and golden outside. Add the bacon and onions back in, pour over the beaten eggs and cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring gently, until the eggs are set. Cover with cheese, let it melt, then finish with green onions if you have them. And yes, we’re a ketchup-on-our-breakfast-scramble household. 😂 #BreakfastForDinner #FarmersBreakfast #BreakfastScramble #BreakfastSkillet #DinnerIdeas #FamilyDinner #EasyDinnerIdeas #PotatoRecipes #BreakfastIdeas #WhatsForDinner

Arroz con Pollo (ACP) 🧀🍗 This is easily one of our FAVORITE family dinners. It’s the version of arroz con pollo I always ordered at Mexican restaurants when I lived in Virginia: Mexican rice, seasoned chicken, and an absolutely unreasonable amount of queso. 😂 I couldn’t find it prepared this way after moving to Washington, so eventually I learned to make it myself. Now it’s on our table at least once a month! For the rice: • 1 batch Mexican restaurant-style rice 👉 I use the recipe from @jessvesco. I tried SO many recipes before finding this one, and her method works perfectly for me every single time! For the chicken: • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced • 2 Tbsp oil • 2 Tbsp water • 1 batch homemade fajita seasoning Fajita seasoning: • ½ Tbsp chili powder • ½ Tbsp ground cumin • 1 tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp paprika • ½ tsp dried oregano • ½ tsp kosher salt • ¼ tsp ground black pepper For the queso: • 1½ lbs white American cheese, from the deli counter • 8 oz pepper jack cheese • 2 cups milk Directions: Prepare your Mexican rice according to your favorite recipe. Toss the sliced chicken thighs with the oil, water and fajita seasoning. Cook the chicken in batches over high heat until cooked through with plenty of browned, slightly crispy edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the chicken sears instead of steaming. For the queso, combine the white American cheese, pepper jack and milk over low heat. Stir frequently and melt everything together slowly until completely smooth and creamy. No roux needed! To serve, start with a generous bed of Mexican rice, pile on the chicken, and smother the entire situation in queso. This one takes a little more time (and a LOT more cheese) than most of my weeknight dinners, but it’s still cheaper than taking a family of four out to eat. And there are NEVER complaints when ACP is for dinner. 😂 #ArrozConPollo #ACP #ChickenAndRice #MexicanRestaurantStyle #FamilyDinner #DinnerIdeas #RealisticDinners #ChickenRecipes #ComfortFood #WhatsForDinner

Dinner #4 in our Dollar Tree dinner series, 4 family dinners for $20 total! For our final meal, it’s breakfast for dinner: egg-free, dairy-free lentil breakfast burritos made with crispy potatoes, sausage, and seasoned lentils. This recipe was originally inspired by @juliapacheco.official’s Million Dollar Lentil Burritos. I saw someone say they were obsessed with them—and thought they were mine! Turns out they were Julia’s. I tried them, loved them, and made a few tweaks to make them Dollar Tree-friendly and more breakfast-style. Credit to her for the delicious idea! Ingredients: 1 bag steak-cut frozen fries (cubed) 1 pack breakfast sausage links (diced) 3/4 cup dry lentils (rinsed) 1/3 bag frozen seasoning blend 2 cups water Cajun seasoning (or taco seasoning if you have it) Salt and pepper (to taste) Reserved diced tomatoes & green chilies (optional) Tortillas (store-bought or homemade—see pinned tutorial) Note: I only budget in ingredients I actually purchase. Oil, salt, and pepper are considered pantry staples. For seasoning, I’m using Cajun seasoning that was already included earlier in the week. If you have taco seasoning at home, go for it! Instructions: Sauté frozen seasoning blend in oil until water evaporates. Add lentils, 2 cups water, Cajun or taco seasoning, and salt/pepper. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 45 mins. Uncover and cook on high heat to reduce liquid until thick. In a second pan, fry cubed fries in oil until browned. Add sausage and cook until crispy. Combine lentil and potato/sausage mixture. Stir in reserved diced tomatoes & chilies. Roll into tortillas and serve! This wraps up the full $20 dinner series! All 4 meals are on my page: Cajun pasta, tamale chili, red beans and rice, and these lentil burritos. Let me know your favorite and if you want to see a Part 3! #dollartreefinds #dollartreemeals #budgetdinner #easyrecipes #familymeal #cheapmeals #budgetfriendly #breakfastfordinner #lentilrecipes #mealonabudget #eggfree #dairyfree #pantrystaples#lowcostmeals #dollarstoredinner
