We have some great recipes for you to try this week that will feed your family 6 meals for just $52.10!  We’re using ground turkey in a couple of recipes because right now lean ground turkey is more affordable than lean ground beef.  There are also some great Jennie-O coupons for this week at Walmart.  They are for turkey breakfast sausage but trust me when I say that the sausage will substitute great in these recipes!

Weekly Meal Plan for January 5th 2015

Meal 1 – Cheesy Turkey Burger Casserole – Like I mentioned, ground turkey has been quite a bit less than lean ground beef lately so we’ve been stocking up.  There are also coupons this week for ground turkey breakfast sausage and the light seasoning in the sausage works well in the Cheesy Turkey Burger Casserole.  We’re making Turkey Burger Tacos later in the week and to save yourself time, you can brown all the turkey burger for both recipes at the same time.  Separate the burger for taco night and refrigerate until you’re ready to use later in the week.  You can always add a bagged salad to this casserole if needed.

Meal 2 – White Chicken Chili – We’ve tried lots of different White Chicken Chili recipes and this one is really easy, really delicious, and inexpensive and quick to make.  It’s a family favorite.  Grab a package of rolls or garlic bread to go with this great chili.  There is a coupon this week at Walmart to save $1.00 on any 2 Hormel Premium Chunk Chicken Breast Products.  You can also save .55 on a jar of La Victoria Salsa with coupon this week.

Meal 3 – Turkey Burger Tacos – Our family loves tacos and if you browned up extra burger earlier in the week, toss it in your skillet and add your seasonings for a quick dinner.  This recipe calls for more taco meat than you’ll need for one meal so the extra can be used for the Taco Pasta tomorrow.

Meal 4  – Taco Pasta – This dish is cheap, easy, and good.  This recipe is a little different than the one I’m linking to because we’re using up left over taco meat rather than making it specifically for this dish.

Meal 5 – Marie Callendar’s Family Size Chicken Pot Pie – This is a delicious pot pie and is on sale this week at Walmart for $8.97.  This is a great price and grabbing an extra to keep in the freezer for a quick meal another time isn’t a bad idea.  Add a bagged salad to make this meal quick, easy, and complete!

Meal 6 – Breakfast for Dinner – This is always a favorite for us.  It’s low fuss and filling.  Again, the Jennie-O coupons at Walmart this week let you pick up turkey bacon or turkey breakfast sausage for an even better price than normal.  Make pancakes to go with your choice of meet.

A Meal Plan where you can feed a family of 5 for less than $2.00 per meal can really make your grocery budget go a long way.  You certainly can’t eat out or feed your family convenience food for $10 per meal, sometimes not even $10 per person.  This weeks meal plan has some really hearty recipes that are feel good food for fall.   They are still easy to prepare, filling, and your family will love them!

Meal Plan ~ 7 Meals Under $2.00 Per Serving

Beef Kebabs with Orange Glaze

While fall is upon us, there will still be lots of opportunities for grilling or grill type foods.  Your family will love these beef kebabs and served with a side of rice or potatoes it will make a filling meal!

Sauteed Chickpeas with Broccoli and Parmesan 

This is an easy and healthy one dish, meatless meal.  The chickpeas are a great source of nutrition and add lots of flavor and texture.

Texas Stew

 

Stew is one of our family’s favorite fall meals.  It’s easy to put together, filling, and makes a great lunch the following day (if there is any left over).  If you had left over meat and veggies from the kebabs on earlier in the week, you can add that right into the stew too.

Ham and Cheddar Supper Waffles

 

These waffles are kind of like having breakfast for dinner but so much better!  The ham and cheddar turns a normally sweet meal into something savory and hearty.

Mashed Potato Soup

 

Potato soup is another family favorite.  I love potato soup and will try it almost every time it’s available at a restaurant.  I think I still prefer making it at home though.  This is a great recipe that’s easy to make!

Migas

 

This is another really great, one dish meatless meal.  It’s filling and different than your traditional casserole.

Sausage Breakfast Casserole 

 

A lot of weekends, our big meal for the day is breakfast instead of lunch or dinner.  This Sausage Breakfast Casserole is filling and packed with so much flavor.  It’s also a great way to sneak in veggies if you have picky eaters who “don’t like veggies”.

Feeding a family of 5 for less than $10 per meal can be a challenge but again this week we have a great Meal Plan for you complete with a printable shopping list and printable recipes.

Meal Plan – Feed Your Family of 5 Dinner 5 Nights for Less Than $50

Monday Night – Tomato Basil Tart

If your family likes pizza, they’ll love this dish.  It’s quick and easy to prepare but delicious and filling.

Tuesday Night – Taco Salad In A Bag

This is such an easy meal and has been a long time family favorite for us.  Tiffany talks about it being great for camping or even an after school snack but it’s also a great dinner when everyone is in a rush or heading to different places at different times and sitting down as a family doesn’t always work.

Wednesday Night – Easy Taco Ring with Croissants

My family could eat tacos every night of the week I think.  On Tuesday make up a double batch of taco meat and this Taco Ring will be easy to put together with the leftovers.  This is also a great party food!

Thursday Night – Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich

Do you love a good BLT sandwich?  If so, you’re going to really love this Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with caramelized onions.  Sandwiches are a great weeknight meal for a busy family!

Friday Night – Spinach and Feta Quesadillas

Maybe you’re tailgating or getting ready to head to the football game.  These Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are a great eat on the run meal.  Though they’re a bit fancier than your traditional quesadilla, your family will enjoy them just the same.  If you have a quesadilla maker, they’re even easier to make!

With school back in session, we’re looking for fast and convenient Meal Plans.  This week I have 3 meals for you that are perfect for weeknights and the cost is less than $10 per meal.  To make it simple for you, the recipes and shopping list are easy to print at the bottom of this post.  Whether you have kids in sports or other activities, it’s nice to have a meal plan that includes healthy options and is quick to serve to your family.

Meal Plans – Three Weeknight Meals for Less than $30

Monday Night – Easy Cheeseburger Casserole

This meal is filling and delicious.  It’s an easy casserole and can be made ahead for reheating at dinner time.  Mondays can be hectic so starting the week with something that is easy to put together but filling is important now that school is back in session.  Do you all find your kids are “starving” come dinner time those first days of school?

 

Wednesday Night – Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken

I don’t know about your house, but here it seems like Wednesday is one of the busiest days.  The week is in full swing and we’ve already been running for a couple of days.  This is a perfect mid week recipe to put in the crock pot in the morning and come home to in the afternoon.  There’s not much better than coming home to dinner mostly made.  Serve this with rice or on rolls for a quick and easy mid week meal.

Friday – Mexican Chicken Wraps

Friday nights can be really busy, especially if you have a child (or many children) in sports.  Sometimes we end up with more of a tailgating dinner than a sit down dinner when there are games to attend.  These Mexican Chicken Wraps are perfect for tailgating.  Make them ahead and wrap them in parchment paper and pack them for a meal on the go.  Grab a bag of chips to go along with them for a fast and filling meal.  They’re also great at the dinner table or for a quick lunch.
