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

Gramma’s Creamy Cheesy Ramen Ingredients: 1 package Chicken Ramen Noodles 2 cups Water 1/2 Seasoning Packet (adjust to taste) 2 slices American Cheese 1 tsp Butter 2 to 3 Tbsp Whole Milk Optional: 1/4 cup finely shredded cooked chicken 1/4 cup frozen peas Directions: 1. Break the dry ramen into smaller pieces before opening the package if serving young children. This makes it much easier to eat with a spoon. 2. Bring the water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender. 3. If using peas, stir them in during the last minute of cooking. 4. Pour off about half of the cooking water, leaving enough to create a creamy sauce. 5. Stir in 1/2 of the seasoning packet. Using less than the full packet keeps the flavor balanced and reduces the salt. 6. Add the American cheese, butter, and whole milk. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the broth is smooth and creamy. 7. If using, stir in the shredded chicken until heated through. 8. Let the ramen sit for 2 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly and cool enough for little mouths. #EasyMeals #CheapMeals #KidsMeals #Ramen

29 work lunches for $22 total… and my husband has no idea I named them “Lover Boy’s Quesadillas” 😏 Rotisserie chicken + black beans + cheddar + high-fiber tortillas = freezer win. Would you eat this on repeat or are you bored by day 3? 👀 ⸻ #mealprep #budgetmeals #cheapmeals #highproteinmeals #easyrecipes
