I don’t know if you have ever received this Recipe, but I am pretty sure you can make it to as close as possible to $5. I have also made it as low fat as possible.

Doritoe Casserole:

1 lb Ground Turkey ( or 98% Lean Ground Beef)
1 bag of Doritoes
1 can of Green Chilies
1 can of evaporated milk (1/4 cup fat free milk)
1 Bag of 2% milk 3 cheese blend (shredded cheese)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup ( 98% fat free)
Preheat oven to 350*
1. Crunch Doritoes up and put some in the bottom of casserole dish enough to cover dish.
2. Cook meat and drain, add soup, evaporated milk, green chilies. Mi together and poor over crushed chips. Sprinkle cheese on thick and put in Oven for approx. 15 minutes.
If you want to add a little more spice add some picante sauce or spicy taco seasoning.
Hope you enjoy this..

I also somewhat plan my meals a month at a time, I stock up on meat when it goes on sale at the butcher or Winn DIxie has the BOGO free deal on meats. I don’t exactly always know when or what I am making but I have the basic game plan when I do my big monthly shopping trip. By the way I love this website and check it all the time for new idea’s and inspiration ( as I am not a creative person).

I have seven children, and I too plan my meals by the month. I made a list one day of every meal I could remember making (and we liked) and put it in my binder. There were literally 100+ recipes.

So, when I make my grocery list I pull from there, depending on what’s on sale. Then as I try new recipes, I add them to my list.

Can’t wait to see more of your ideas!

I have Cathy! I don’t have cable, so I’ll probably never see the show!

Did you hear about Food Network’s new show called $10 dinners? Um, it sounds to me that they are using your idea.

I plan a month in advance, too. It’s just easier and so much stress of what to make is taken away. I fudge it a little here and there. But for the most part, I always know what I”m making and what I need for the next few weeks.

I do this, somewhat, every month. I make up a general monthly plan so that I know what I will need, shop monthly, pick up fresh stuff weekly and plan each week in detail as I come to it. But, I know at the beginning of each month exactly what my meals will consist of, just not which night I will serve what! It really helps in the long run.
