Spaghetti & Meatballs
Spaghetti and meatballs is such a basic meal and cheap!
We like ours with garlic toast and a vegetable, usually green beans or spinach.
Start with the meatballs, I buy the great value family size bag and split it in half (about 32 meatballs) then I put them on a microwave-safe plate and defrost for about 2 minutes. I then put them in a pot with a cup of water and cook them until they soak up the water. I then add a jar of pasta sauce and heat till warm. Cook spaghetti according to the package. Add meatball & sauce to pasta.
- Bag of meatballs $6.72
- Box of pasta $.82
- Jar pasta sauce $.99
- Garlic bread $1.59
- Parmesan cheese $2.36
- Vegetable $.50-$.98 depends on what veg.
Will get 2 meals from the bread, meatballs, pasta and cheese. Comes out to about $6 a meal, feeds 4.
