I just bought some liquid onion that I saw southern frugal mama use. That way it has all the onion flavor with none of the onion texture. It’s good I’ve been using it. Have you ever tried chili over baked potatoes? Very cheap. Very good. Everything looks Yum😊
A good way we have found to stretch chili is to use whatever recipe you like for pizza crust and then use the chili in place of sauce, slice a few hotdogs on top put your favorite cheese, bake, and you have chili dog pizza! It only takes a small amount of chili.
My first comment, I'm from Australia and do a similar chilli thing that also lasts for days for the 6 of us. I do add more veģies and rise my can's to add too. I also split into half before adding the chilli and can use it to make spaghetti bolognese and savoury mince. Love this challenge
Love the chilli ingredients...in next weeks groceries :) and you said it...I think its universal that us mums when we shop always get extra...and then kick ourselves that we do LOL...but these recipes I am making because I need to calm down my food shopping bill...here in Australia it still isn't as cheap as your ingredients but will make a dent just the same...
Keep them coming Danielle! I love the different meal ideas even if you can adjust for one person to spread out the week. I was thinking of the chili with cucumber cause I don't want to go back to the store after surgery lol! And some burritos that I can just pop in the microwave. Thank you!
Your kids are always so sweet!!! That chili looked delicious!! I was cooking supper while I was watching this and fussing about my stove burner being tilted just like yours!!! It frets me so bad!! Everything goes to the back side of the pan😂
The Ham & Cheese Tortilla really surprised me. IDK why I hadn't thought of it myself. It would be perfect for someone like me (being single) cos its easily adaptable. I can use the smaller taco size ones for myself, and that would be the only difference to yours. I'll also let you in on semi-secret. My college cooking days never really left me. I use ramen as my lazy day pasta for just about every pasta dish: spaghetti, alfredo, tuna casserole, you name it. I even have have a sick day lazy Chicken Noodle Soup!! (Can Chicken, Chicken Ramen, and Cup of mixed Veggies using half the Chicken flavor packet) I also love Mild Chili (so not as much chili powder lol) over Baked Potatoes with Cheese. Potatoes are so versatile & can be served in so many ways. Just a thought for another $4 meal. 😊
Great job being creative! Thankfully my 7 kids are all adults now , but I totally get cooking on a budget. FYI, it may not be just your burner that isn't level, it could be the stove. In case you didn't know there should be little levelers under your stove (in the corners) and they screw in and out. Maybe that'll help level things up!
I'm not into spicy chili, so I do mild chili (or pasta sauce with fine ground onion & orange or red peppers): pinto & pinto beans (simmered ahead of time). Add a bit of pasta for another batch of future meals.
Not sure how much this cost but I'm thinking it was pretty cheap: $5.00 pack of cut-up beef chunks, frozen broccoli, oyster sauce, soy sauce, noodles. Beef and broccoli over noodles. Protein and vegetables.
I love the idea of using frozen veggies and a protein in ramen to make a complete meal. But your order of operations is a bit off. Break up the chicken in the pan, add the veggies, and then the last thing that goes in is the pasta. Or else you're just mushing up the ramen.
The last little bit of chili we will add it to spaghetti sauce to help flavor and give it some meat. Everyone loves it. We also use sloppy joe sauce instead of tomato sauce in chili for more flavor.
Would it be cheaper to buy a rotisserie chicken instead of two of those cans of chicken, wasn't much meat for 6 people, and the portions were small, I realize your kids are younger but, just didn't seem like very much food for 6. Just asking.

I love watching your videos.❤❤❤❤
Aww Thank you!
I appreciate all your low cost meals. It helps SO MUCH, with cost of groceries being high!
I hate how expensive groceries have gotten!
chilli on baked potatoes is yummy❤❤
Oh my word! Yes!! So good!
I make quesadillas with cheese and black ( or pinto) beans for a cheap easy meal- with corn on the side
My kind of meal!

Nobody complained ❤ that's always a good sign

Definitely kid-friendly!
Chili Dog pizza, wow! Ive never thought of that. I Bet my kids would LOVE that lol

You are amazing thank you for doing this very difficult video to make it cost 4dollsrs aesl is just amaxing
Thank you so much 😀
Chilli Mac or chilli cheese fries.
Ohhh that too!
Spaghetti or fettuccine can replace the ramen noodles. Pasta is cheap also.

You can puree the peppers and onions and the kids never know😊

Funny thing...the first time I have heard of serving chili over spaghetti was just this week and now, I hear it the second time!
Seriously so good!
I love that white pot. Where did you find a white one?
I believe my hubby got it at Walmart. It’s a pioneer woman Dutch oven and I loooovvveee it!
👍

That sounds amazing!
Chili baked potatoes
Plz tell me where your beautiful plate came from ? Time stamp 8:30 thank you
That’s a pioneer woman plate that you can find at Walmart. I want a full set but they can be pricey! They are super cute though!
@@CookiesandBacon22 ty so much. Maybe I’ll but 2 lol. Ty so much
I never eat my ramen with the water in it. I always drain it.
🙂
👍😊❣️

Very True, Thank you that helps!
Are the eggs only $1.05 for 12 eggs?!@
Yes!! At aldi they are!
@CookiesandBacon22 wow. Cheapest eggs here in Australia are $4.50

Great idea on adding sloppy Joe sauce!

It probably would be. That's just what I had on hand. It fed all of us and we had left overs. I'm sure it would feed 4 adults just fine.
