I work long hours, so I use quick and easy meals like:

Sheppard’s pie — Use a cake pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with cooked hamburger meat. Next add a layer of corn. Make instant potatoes on the side, then spread a layer of potatoes on the top. Bake at about 375 for about

Cows Nest — (At Sav-A-Lot, there is cans of roast beef in gravy. Looks like an oversized tuna fish can.) I make homemade mashed potatoes. Then warm up the roast beef in gravy. Put a mound of mashed potatoes in the center of a plate, making a hole in the center. Spoon the roast beef and gravy into the center.

a packet of spaghetti with a jar of store bought tomato sauce and u can add a few sliced mushrooms to it when you heat it up and if your family likes cheese a sprinkling of cheese,

You can do baguettes with almost any type of filling and serve with a side salad.

Soups go a long way too with some crusty bread.

You can make a tuna casserole with canned tuna which is cheaper than tuna steaks.

And just some steamed veg with a light dressing or some hollandaise sauce.

Toasted sandwiches and a salad on the side is great too

Upside down pizza is one of my cheap favorite meals.

1. Brown either ground turkey or hamburger, drain it ($2 to $3)
2. Remove from heat
3. Add a jar of pizza sauce (at walmart it cost about $0.60)
4. Pour the meat/pizza sauce mixture to a pan
5. Layer sliced cheese on top of the meat mixture
6. Get a can of crescent rolls and lay them flat on top of the cheese (walmart brand of crescent rolls cost around $1)

Cook on 350 until the crescent rolls are done.

It is so yummy.
