30 Minute Lazy Dinners That Save $$ || Budget Friendly Meals

[@ElizabethDiaz-zr5ki]

Love all of these!!!

[@carrenpastrana6209]

I just dumped my burritos and enchilada sauce into a dish and stuck it in the oven after a long morning of homeschool, answering client emails, and then trying to set the house to right before the husband gets home. Thank you for your meal inspiration and for bringing joy and relatable content to us mamas in the trenches each day! I look forward to when your videos drop. It's like waiting for a phone call from a cherished friend. ❤

[@mjoverocker6072]

Easy and delicious awesome!!!

[@happybeingme4622]

That’s how I make my meatloaf but I also add an onion soup mix packet. So good!

[@user-fv1mt6sc5t]

I recently tried the onion soup mix in meatloaf and I don't know if I'll ever go without it again!

[@Michelle-rz5zx]

I never thought to add stuffing mix to meatloaf. I usually use oatmeal. I'll have to try it with stuffing sometime. I bet it adds tremendously to the flavor! Great ideas in this video!

[@bethpowell6466]

My mom always liked instant stuffing mix for meatloaf. It was extra good because it already had seasoning in it, too.

[@beckysonnier6369]

I use it for my meatloaf and meatballs. Always good.

[@GrannysGarage333]

I love this tip!! Will def be trying it!!

[@doreenlobczowski2687]

I have use Turkey stuffing with ground Turkey to make meat balls (or meatloaf) . Make gravy and it's like Thanksgiving !

[@LoLoLifeinFlorida]

My mom taught me to use a pack of crushed up saltine crackers but I'm going to give the stuffing a try to!

[@jillgott6567]

Two weeks ago I made Cottage Pie with hamburger and extra veggies. It made 5 portions. This week I saw an ad for a local restaurant and one offering is Cottage Pie same ingredients. $16/ serving ! ! It did not cost me anything g close to $16 to make an entire Cottage Pie

[@floralbouquets]

Wow!!!

[@SitchieSaves]

I do a version of the burrito casserole using canned chili instead of enchilada sauce. So good & very filling!

[@angelmurphy2300]

What kind of chilli

[@MelroseLifeataGlance]

Me too

[@SelenaJane35]

I’ll have to try that out. My family doesn’t like enchilada sauce.

[@lauracarpenter5283]

I cannot use red enchilada sauce because of an ulcer, so i use mild green enchilada sauce. Very good and easy on the tummy.​@SelenaJane35

[@Angela-jg6gv]

You are amazing!!! Thank you sweet sis ❤️🙏 to you and your precious family!

[@racheladams5299]

Loved all your recipes have made the burrito casserole my family loves it. For the meatloaf when short on time put your meat in muffin tins and make mini meatloaves they are done in 15 minutes. Will need to try your taco bake.😋

[@metoo5004]

I like to do boxed scalloped potatoes with meatloaf since oven is going 😊

[@corvettesbme]

I loved this whole episode!❤

[@lindabeard488]

Love your recipes. You’re a great cook. Love you.

[@DeborahIsaacs-nx4dw]

Looksso delicious, i love enchiladas , i love mexican❤❤❤❤perfect Brooke😊😊😊

[@edithdimuro101]

Loving your content. Such great ideas. Emily and the girls were great too on your other video.

[@maryconder7100]

Definitely trying all these. Ive broken my femur ( do not recommend) and while im regaining my mobility, im still limited. When hubs is home ( trucker) i still want to cook for him ( otherwise staying with parents) i can do most of these and have most of ingredients in my pantry and freezer

[@lexieluthor310]

We always did a squeeze of mustard in our meatloaf sauce! Balances out the sweetness 😊

[@margaretlisboa563]

Love ALL ur videos !!! I watched 1 now I’m hooked 🙏🏻

[@emilydavidson275]

Wow! That is making me so hungry! Love your channel and family. Hugs

[@michelleutter8521]

Wow! Really great ideas ! They all look really yummy.

[@beckyblevins9095]

I am going to make the meatloaf and make mashed potatoes. I lived by myself and so I can make individual plates for the rest of weeks. I love your videos and look forward to your next one

[@ellenwheeler2031]

Great ideas and your plates are so pretty.

[@StamperWendy]

Brooke, I love your square pan, hunl

[@darlenem4940]

Never would of thought. Your so awesome. Ty

[@joycepedercini3841]

If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the catch-up and brown sugar it brings it up one notch better or maybe two notches😂

[@markc-ru4qz]

You have an adorable family

[@rs2343-o4e]

Awesome video. We like meals that you don't have to do hardly anything, Keep them coming. Never to busy to eat!

[@Arianabryan2016]

You are a life saver!!!!

[@bertawalls7566]

Great idea for the enchiladas! I am definitely going to have to try these.

[@crystalmichelle659]

You make your meatloaf exactly the way I make mine and my kiddo loves it!!! Thank you for always being so kind and sharing your ideas! ❤

[@samanthadodd8112]

My go to is sweet and sour chicken. Cook some rice, chicken strips or nuggets, stream a bag of your choice of veggies, when it gets done add all together after cut chicken and veggies in smaller pieces - add Hoison sauce, soy sauce, and orange marinade and u have sweet and sour chicken.

[@suzannekasztelan430]

i tried these recipes over a week or so. easy to do and all winners! cornbread stuffing meatloaf was a great idea for my cornbread-loving husband. thank you for putting the ingredients in your notes. it's so helpful. we appreciate you!!

[@jenniferf3704]

Hello, beautiful friend. Thanks for the delicious ideas!

[@sharonhart3735]

I enjoyed these recipes they looked yummy!

[@christeenprice5637]

Brooks an awesome video,thanks 👍🤤👍🤤👍

[@thelmacampbell2623]

I just LOVE the El Monterey beef and bean chimichangas.....

[@jkalb1744]

Thankyou. All of these look so good. I needed the inspiration!

[@kathleencole9546]

The tortellini is like a "dump and go" savory meal

[@rbsamar]

Thk u for making it real. God bless u.

[@tinashort9098]

I’m sitting at work , indoor motocross racing, bored outta my mind and here comes Brooke to save my day❤❤❤❤

[@floralbouquets]

She's awesome. And so sweet

[@jennifergragg1850]

Everything looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! 💜💜

[@auroramartinez4984]

Great super quick dinners. Thanks for the inspiration on thinking outside the box. 👍

[@kingt9922]

I like those burritos there delicious for the price and conveniences on a budget..

[@baddgurrshine4481]

Binge watching ur videos and i love you to pieces😊

[@warriorcherylann3801]

You were cracking me up when you said I'm putting a pinch of salt hopefully even on top of the cheese tortellini lol. You were flinging it lol. You are too funny homie!!!!

[@debbiesmith5763]

I love these suggestions. I also love the idea of just opening a bag of salad to have with it. So easy and we never eat enough salad.

[@ginahardman3573]

The tortilla dinner would be so awesome with a can of drained Mexico run or fiesta corn added. I’ve made this for daughter and son in love- they both asked for recipe

[@aliciawindisch9497]

OMG I'm trying these out on my family this week. Thank you for ALL the inspiration with meals.

[@dancieteague6854]

Great recipes. We make a simple recipe in our family. You brown hamburger meat and drain. Add salsa and couple cups of rice. We sometimes add beans and corn also have left meat out and add extra beans. My group loves to pour over cornbread. I know what I am cooking this week. Have a blessed day.

[@wickedprepared]

We love the lazy enchiladas... I've always called them "cheater enchiladas"! Lol

[@pennylee9115]

I do a version of the meatloaf but I use ground turkey and add mustard powder or cranberry sauce to the topper.

[@alexachenbach821]

LOOK SO GOOD.

[@aquamoon4401]

Ooo I can't wait to try that Tortilla in the sauce recipe at the end! I was questioning the tortilla cut up in there and it looks amazing at the end! Yum! Definitely trying that one soon! 😋

[@EllyKaye84]

Love it! As usual :)

[@maryraynor3043]

I absolutely love all the recipes you presented today. Genius way to have shortcuts and prepare fabulous meals. Thank you

[@marjoriebouwens6000]

These all look great! I bought several bags of Aldi's cornbread stuffing mix and some Pepprigde Farms seasoned stuffing mix for $0.79 and $0.69 when it was marked down after the holidays. I grind it to use as seasoned bread crumbs. I just keep the unopened bags in 5 gallon buckets with lids and the ground up stuff in mason jars and refill as needed. It's a lot cheaper than buying seasoned bread crumbs. Great ideas in this video. Thanks!

[@missbubby4327]

Great recipes,so real!

[@audreyhughes9569]

Great job as always Brooke! Quick meatloaf trick.if you make a trench around you meatloaf in the pan it gives the extra grease a place to go away from your meal. Also if you are on a low carb diet you can use crushed pork rinds in the place of the bread crumbs or stuffing.

[@iskijay]

We are regularly looking for easy cooked at home meals 😆 whatever is cheaper 😉 and easier than delivery. Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦

[@lorettalingo8745]

Looks delicious 👍

[@TheRumbleBunny]

That baked tortellini looks extra good, made my list this week!

[@joannhopkins1396]

Thank you ! ! You are my favorite cooking channel.... I really enjoy your personality :) great food ideas as well ! !

[@tamarahaislip1730]

Thanks Brooke

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Everything looks delicious!!!

[@andietheowl]

Awesome video! I was watching some of your older videos this morning and want to say it's amazing how much you have grown with your videos already so quickly! Killin it.

[@80skindagal]

I was watching some of the older videos too 🤣 and it's so true Brooke has really come such an amazing way❤️

[@maryanngibson3690]

you are an excellent mom and wife and a super cook, people who judge you and their mean comments make me sad. I hope you ignore those people, i love your stuff, keep it going, greetings from Ontario, Canada.

[@floralbouquets]

I don't know why they do that. Brooke is a sweetie. But I LOVE when she does the nasty comment shorts. They are so funny. People say the dumbest things

[@AGee2217]

I watch all your $5 dinners. If you switched out the beef for chicken or pork the meatloaf could be one of your $5 dinners! I always use two pieces of bread that I wet under water. Makes the moistest meatloaf.

[@sarakitchens2287]

Tried the tortellini and enchiladas. They were great! Genius recipes, Brooke. Thank you.

[@jennifercalvert8235]

Yummy!

[@leannethompson9693]

Wonderful ideas! I love that brand of pasta.

[@tammifields4142]

Everything looks Yummy 😋! Great ideas Brooke!💖

[@cathetedder4133]

Some more great recipes to try! Keep talking about keeping the pantry stocked

[@carolynjordan4633]

Yummy, I'm making meat loaf tomorrow thanks for sharing with us.😊

[@barbarawalker3366]

❤ you Brooke! Thanks for the easy-peasy dinner ideas 😁

[@vanakistler3950]

I’ve gotta try that tortellini one.

[@jenniferbanks2241]

My mom used to do the burritos like that with a jar of salsa and they were so good. I’ve tried the dinner you made at the end but I fry the tortilla strips like chips before I add them to the salsa mix, it’s also good with shredded chicken in place of ground beef if you have any left over rotisserie chicken.

[@agirly1503]

I'm loving these meatless meals 💜 I also love using some short cuts ✂️ Thanks 😊

[@kippytx]

I have an idea for your challenges you have been doing lately. Besides drawing dollar amount and store. Have another bowl with additives that can be used. Example: vanilla extract, hot sauce, dry onion soup mix, velveeta cheese pouch, roasted red peppers (at Dollar Tree). This might highlight how a little extra can elevate meals

[@laurahartman9170]

I've been making meatloaf with stuffing mix for years! When my kids were little they decided to call it "meatbrick" 😆 it's a family fav.

[@Jmal1090]

Just recenty tried the lazy enchiladas and theyre so so good

[@JacqulinGleason]

Love all your meals and your videos. I live alone and I either divide the ingredients or save the leftovers for future meals . By the way, you need to write a cookbook - think about it.

[@lynnb1721]

Looks awesome and restaurant presentable burritos!

[@cynthiaromero4441]

I make a similar dish to the last one but I use tortilla chips and leave them a little crunchy, it adds so much texture. Yum

[@patdoman8209]

Mmmmmmmm....I'll be looking for those frozen bean and cheese enchiladas! That recipe is right up my alley! Yum!❤️💕😘

[@sheilarogers3448]

Asked you to consider making homemade tamales for fun. You are great in these videos. Would love to see what you could do with a high priced meal

[@dalainebloom4505]

Hi, I love your recipes. These are Great and extremely frugal. Thank You for sharing these with Us. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.✝️🙏🏽👍🏼❤️👋🏼

[@mariagar5758]

Very nice n easy recipes thanks for sharing ☺️ blessings to you and yours 🎉💐🎇

[@kimvenablevenable4656]

I think the last meal would be good with a can of Mexican corn..

[@erlyne0]

What great, easy ideas! These recipes remind me of the cooking show "Semi-homemade" where she would use some "shortcuts" and convenience items to create a meal. You're clever, my dear. :o)

[@CraftyCassie6910]

I loved all of these recipes! I barely got through the first recipe before I added it to my menu for this week. And then adding stuffing mix to meatloaf is genius. I always have so much of those boxes left over after the holidays and that’s a great way to use them up. That meatloaf is tonight’s dinner. I always love your ideas, it works for me and my family because I don’t follow recipes much either or measure when I’m cooking. Thanks Brooke!

[@Randy8923]

enjoyed.

[@chastitybrown2043]

Have you ever tried your meatloaf like you make it, but omit the ketchup and brown sugar? I make it that way and add some bell pepper and onion that I blitz in the food processor until it is almost liquified, bake and serve it with brown gravy. (I did the bell pepper and onion that way because my son doesn't like big chunks of veggies in the meatloaf, plus it adds more moisture to the meat.)

[@angelarothbauer8096]

Channel is taking off - Yay for kindness and good cooking- I know dusty is proud of you

[@alexachenbach821]

Wow that good.

[@talkingcatsproductions1140]

You're the best🎉🎉🎉

[@happyrapture1370]

🤗🤭😂 I have done this meal for years for my family after a long day of work. We call it lazy man enchiladas. You can add olives, green chilis anything. My children make it for their children now

[@maryanngibson3690]

1/2 CUP GREEN PICKLE RELISH IS A GREAT ADD ON TO MEATLOAF, MIX IT IN,

[@QDawnStevens]

On your struggle meals here was ours. Carrot sticks sanwich with mayo. Tomato sandwich with mayo Radish sandwich with mayo We all had fruit trees so we would go to each other's house and collect the ripe fruit we chose for the day. Apples, cherries, pears, peaches, strawberries, black berries, raspberries, mulberries We had peanut butter and Mulberry sandwiches or blackberry sandwich We ate alot out of the garden. Green beans and plastic cheese microwaved Puree baked beans with Tortilla chips and plastic cheese nachos microwaved Macaroni and cut up cooked garden tomatoes and bell peppers and onions. Bake sweetened condensed milk on 200 degrees Fahrenheit unopened for 6 to 8 hous in the oven and pour over cut up apples, add Chopped nuts if you have them We loved peanuts in a pepsi bottle. We ate and drank pure deliciousness Rhubarb dunked in cool aid with a lot of sugar Popcorn and apples Popcorn and cheese Popcorn drizzled with heated up vanilla or chocolate frosting. Oatmeal with a teaspoon of peanut butter and maple syrup with cinnamon and sugar and butter toast. Scrambled eggs with Peas and tomatoes and cheese Would love for you to try my child hood favorites

[@kerryberry142]

Yummy

[@brendarobertson7206]

You have inspired me to slice lavash and try making some faux pasta in a dish like the last dish with the cut up tortillas. I am low carb because of alarmingly high cholesterol numbers and really just trying to cut back. I love your improvising style: use what you have! Thank you so much for everything you do

[@alexachenbach821]

Thank you.
