5 Budget Friendly Family Dinners #Recipes

1. Aldi frozen lasagna

This is my go to meal if I don't feel like actually cooking! 

Aldi frozen lasagna is one of my kids favorite meal's! This family dinner cost less than $10 total. The Aldi lasagna will feed 4 people and cost less than $5. The canned pea's are 50 cent also from Aldi and the garlic cheese bread is from Walmart $3.

2. Chicken Fajitas
This family dinner cost less than $10 and it is so easy to make! I use Tyson frozen chicken strips from Walmart ($5 for a big bag that will make 2 dinners) and frozen stir fry veggies from Walmart ($1) and I also use Old El Paso chicken fajitas seasoning ($1)  and Old El Paso soft shell flour tortillas. To make this meal I cook the chicken in a separate frying pan and I cook the frozen veggies in a frying pan. *Be sure to drain the water from the veggies prior to adding the chicken* Once the chicken is cooked I add it to the veggie frying pan and I also add the fajita seasoning packet. This takes about 5 minutes to cook. Easy peasy! My kids love this meal also! I also add some shredded cheese to their fajitas.

Chicken Fajitas are so easy to make!

3. Chicken Enchilada's

This family meal is super easy to make also and my kids love it! Very few ingredients and costs less than $10. Ingredients: Chicken breast, soft shell taco's, 2 lb bag of mexican shredded cheese, Old El Paso red enchilada sauce. 

To make this I use a casserole dish. Cook the chicken breast in a frying pan. Then place them in boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and let cool. Then using a fork pull the chicken apart. Add 1/2 the can of sauce to the casserole dish. Then place the soft shell taco's over the sauce. Add shredded chicken then cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle 2 lb bag of mexican cheese over the top. Bake 350 for 30 minutes.

Delicious!

4. Frozen Crispy Honey Chicken & Rice

Yummy Chinese Honey Chicken & Broccoli & Rice

I purchase this frozen meal for $7 and a box of white rice ($3). This is another super easy meal and my kids love it! Cheaper than ordering Chinese food and you could also add frozen egg rolls to make this a bigger meal. 

5. Spaghetti

My kids absolutely love spaghetti! Sometimes if I haven't had a chance to go to the grocery store and we don't have any ground beef I will just make spaghetti noodles with red sauce and no meat. Either way the kids love spaghetti and this is my go to meal. They could eat spaghetti every single night if I made it! I also usually add garlic bread or croissants and pea's to this meal. Spaghetti is such an affordable budget friendly meal too! I buy a huge pack of spaghetti at Aldi for just $1.50 and it will last for at least 2 weeks.
