[@rhondagardner2741]

I am a single disabled lady and every month after bills and groceries I am dead broke until payday agaiñ. Everything you made looks delish and like things in have had before but made in a much more expensive way you may have very well helped me out in saving some cash on groceries and still have great dishes. Thank you!❤❤

[@tessoxford5074]

I am a single person and I made this, it was wonderful! I used 1 can soup and 1/2 can buiskts, it made me 2 big meals . Used the rest of the buiskts and made waffles,great. Thank you

[@lindaelmore1223]

Cheap dessert: either leave the flour tortilla whole or cut into 8ths. Fry until crisp sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, drizzle with Hershey syrup and dollop of whipped cream. Fast and uses up the tortillas.

[@ashleyharger8856]

That sounds so incredible 😋

[@bevplewes7153]

Love it

[@donnawheeler6283]

My mom did that with extra pie crust dough. She rolled it out with a rolling pin and used a fork to poke holes in the dough to keep it from curling and bubbling up. Then, spread butter on the dough and sprinkled the entire dough with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake in oven on same temp as the pies. Remove from oven when golden brown on edges. Let cool. Break apart and enjoy!! 😊😊😊yummy 😋 😍

Do you use seasoning packet? Thanks Leslie

[@lyndajones6605]

mmmm drooling already!!!

[@donnawheeler6283]

​​some stuffing mixes already have seasonings in one bag with the dried bread. If your stuffing mix has separate seasoning packet then definitely add it to dried bread and mix well with the water until bread soaks up seasonings and water. 🙂🙂🙂

[@sadehogue-scott177]

Thanks for writing down all the recipes.

[@violetvillard1347]

Hi, and I am new to your channel. However I wanted to let you know that I was inspired by your chicken & stuffing casserole. I used my leftover rotisserie chicken meat instead, didn't have carrots but did have frozen mixed veggies, and melted the last of my colby-jack cheese on the top. It turned out delicious!!! Thanks for this awesome recipe. BTW: I'm a single disabled women with right side weakness from my massive stroke, and many of your dinner ideas work for me cos of my limited abilities. Thanks for sharing them.

[@barbarathompson8559]

A Mexican lady I use to know told me to add peas because they put peas in their stuffing.

[@smilingjacks83]

I'm glad Brooke's recipes help you. Fellow disabled person ❤

[@aprilbernal8695]

Your tip for looking for bags of things with extra ingredients is smart! I never really thought of that. As a mom living in this world of rising prices, but not rising income, I appreciate any tip I can get! The recipes look tasty, customizable, and affordable! Thank you!

[@celestecolton1638]

I made the “chicken” and dumplings for myself today, and I added a quarter can of corn, a quarter can of green beans, and a quarter can of carrots, it is absolutely delicious, thank you for the amazing idea

So a Pot Pie Chicken and Dumplings... I like that idea.

[@Mumsy711]

Onion and garlic = bomb

I definitely can't wait to try this recipe with the added canned veggies! It'll be like the Campbell's Chunky chicken pot pie soup that I spend far too much money on...

I have a daughter in college, so I am trying every one of your recipes. Thank you so much! I love your personality and sense of humor.

[@donnawheeler6283]

Your daughter is likely living on a tight budget while away at college. You could write the recipes on cards for her with shopping list. I'm sure she'd appreciate your effort seeing to her eating healthy on a budget.

[@kayleenvoelker2358]

OMGosh Brooke!! I made your cheap chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight and it was a hit!! Perfect for a cold winter's night for sure!!! Everyone is now sitting in the couch with lots of blankets watching Frosty the Snowman with full bellies!! You are the best girl...thank you so much for sharing!! And it was $3.65 for dinner for 4 of us with enough for hubby to take a bowl to work tomorrow!! Woohoo!!

[@happycook6737]

Awesome. My fave are loaded baked potatoes. We top them with canned baked beans and a small amount of cooked hamburger crumbles or shredded cheese. So filling and easy. I also bake up extra potatoes to cube the next morning into breakfast egg, potato, cheese burritos. 5 pounds potatoes for $3.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Nice!

[@juliehill8292]

Looking back on how much you and your family and channel have grown just gets me in the feels. It's strange how you really can begin to think of someone on KZbin as a friend. I appreciate how much work and time you and your family invest into making these videos. I always look forward to the next one. God bless you all.

[@joannerandolph2198]

Brooke, you have brought back to life Chicken and Dumplings and from so many comments on them, there's a whole lot of Southerners listening/viewing! ❤ Keep on Keeping on!

[@melisaclark3110]

It is amazing to me that anyone can actually complete all the steps involved in filming, editing and uploading content on to KZbin let alone make it interesting and helpful. Be kind and positive to yourself. I am in awe of all content creators including you!

I'm so happy I came across your channel with my hours being cut at work and food prices getting higher I was stressing out about how to save money on groceries you're a blessing!!❤️

[@beckystone7994]

A easy cheap casserole to make is - 1 lg onion chopped - 3 lg potatoes , sliced in rounds about 1/4 inch thick- 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and add 1 & 3/4 cups of water to the soup and mix it up in a bowl - 2 - cups shredded cheddar cheese- in a 9 X 13 casserole dish put the onions on bottom - layer in the round sliced potatoes - pour over your mushroom soup mixture and cover in foil and bake at 375 for 1 hour- remove from oven remove foil sprinkle over the 2 cups of cheese - return to oven uncovered and bake 10 more minutes! This casserole I’ve been making gif at least 40 yrs it’s delicious and can be served alone or with a dude dish ! If you have the extra money you can fry up a pound of hamburger meat or some sausage or bacon snd add into the casserole on top of the potato layer before you pour on the mushroom soup mixture, follow the rest of the video as written! This recipe can be cut in 1/2 if you have a small family!! 🙏✝️🙋🏻

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

I was just thinking about some potatoes I have that needs used up. I think I may try this. Thank you.

[@nicolejones9117]

[@brendamayo1704]

Boxed stuffing mix is a pantry stable. I get several boxes when they're on clearance after Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like to run it through my food processor and make seasoned bread crumbs. It so good! Thanks for all the meal ideas. I'm a Mississippi gal and we Southern cooks gotta stick together. :)

[@rachelhouse9854]

I make meatloaf with my stuffings! stuffing is my favorite and makes the best meatloaf ever!

[@andreacloyd4661]

That boxed stuffing mix is way way 2 salty 4 us.

[@brendamayo1704]

@@andreacloyd4661 yes it can be rather salty. I make sure I don't season the chicken since there is extra salt. I wonder if plain bread crumbs were mixed with it would it help even out the seasonings?

[@happycook6737]

Love your breadcrumb idea outta stuffin'. Yum. I also saw a recipe for meatloaf that uses stuffing instead of bread cubes. So many creative people out there.

[@B_Bodziak]

​@@andreacloyd4661 use a bag of pepperidge farms bread cubes and add poultry seasoning, pepper and salt to taste.

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

If I had to pick either salt or pepper salt has zero chance. I love pepper note to self I need an instant pot. Love you Marjorie ❤😂

[@donnawheeler6283]

Pepper is a very healthy condiment. I don't care for it too much, but add it anyway. I try to use as little salt as possible because I retain water so easily. I totally enjoy this channel and Aunt Vickie and Dusty's, too. I hope to see Aunt Vickie and Dusty do a few collaboration videos for filling time when in a situation of having no TV, video games or phone services while waiting through a bug out situation or waiting for electricity to come back on. The downtime with nothing to do can be the worst thing.

[@cherylsxavier2975]

I also get a gallon bag and add any vegetables I have left over and make vegetable soup for a meal. Even if its 1 spoonful I put it in the bag. When the bag is full put it in the pot and heat up on low for 30 minutes. Then add some water and cook for another 30 minutes and serve! There's a pot of free soup!!!!!😁

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

7/19/24: For fun, I priced making this dish for one person with extras. Priced from Walmart. 1 can gv cream/chicken soup .68 1 can gv biscuts .98 8.5oz can gv peas/carrots .67 5oz can of gv chicken 1.18 The total is $3.51. Bonus: I think could get almost 3 servings out of this. Thanks Brooke❤

[@wendyrosko9449]

Oh, I have a cheap eats meal for you to make. All you need is a can of apple pie filling, 4 to 6 pork chops and put a box of stuffing on top. That order. Make The stuffing as instructed Place apples on bottom then chops then stuffing in a rectangular baking pan. Bake at 375 covered for 50 minutes. Uncover bake 10 more

[@michellegibson6440]

This actually sounds really good. Ty for sharing.

[@donnawheeler6283]

That sounds delicious. Apples 🍎 are something that is usually served with porkchops 🥩. At least, applesauce is served, so this casserole sounds delicious!!!

[@janpetsch620]

Amazing how much this rampant inflation is killing us. Prices on everything you mentioned has gone up vshoot eggs are more than twice that. Th soup and veggies have about double too! That said all ingredients are still budget friendly since everything else has gone sky high too. Carry on 😊

[@cherylsxavier2975]

I make some drop biscuit mix out of flour and seasonings and I let it sit for 15 minutes in a warm spot. Then I get a bowl of COLD water and a teaspoon. I dip the spoon in the water and then use the side of the spoon in the mix to dip and just get a little bit and drop it in the boiling chicken broth. Remember to dip your spoon in the cold water EVERY TIME after you dropped the mix in the pot. You can make as much mix as you want. I guessed it cost me $1 dollar to make the dumplings and another 3 dollars for the homemade chicken broth and a bag of mixed vegetables. So $5 buckes and I fed 13 people and a bunch had seconds too!!!!!😁😁

[@sandy-pf9bb]

My mama made them that way except she used bullion and no veg. I cook them for myself when I start missing her extra badly. I haven't any family left. Recently I had been sick a long time and not eating. When I started feeling better, I was really hungry. I was up at 3am cooking mama-dumplings.

[@happycook6737]

Your method is much better than buying cans of biscuits which are full of chemicals. We use homemade egg noodles squares due to PA Dutch in the family.

[@happycook6737]

​@@sandy-pf9bb Glad you feel better. Consider joining a church or volunteer group. Very helpful for lonely singles like me.

Going to try the chicken and dumplings this weekend. Again....on behalf of everyone having a tough time...thank you. Always looking for something my son can hear up for himself after school.

[@christineheege7943]

I want to day thank you. Not for the cost. For the ease. I'm a working mom who struggles with yummy ideas to put together for my family at a fast pace. This video we are doing every meal.

[@donnawheeler6283]

Some comments added after you posted your comment have sent some great sounding casseroles. You might check out the comments for more great ideas. I plan on trying them myself. Brooke amazes me at how she comes up with great ideas in such tight budgets!

[@happycook6737]

For struggling people, I suggest learning how to make white sauce. To my white sauce I add some Knorr chicken bullion granules. Much cheaper than can soups as a casserole base. However for crock pots or freezers only use can soup. This is because homemade doesn't hold up beyond stove cooking. For the $1.20 spent on cans, I need flour/margarine/salt/pepper/chicken bullion granules. Google casserole white sauce. We make our chicken and dumplings Amish style. I make homemade egg noodles very fast and cheap. Cut them into big squares with pizza cutter. Cheaper than can biscuits. Flour, egg yolk, salt, water. 5 pounds flour still only $3.00. Goes very far!

[@garyneilson3075]

You are fortunate in your boys, mine each would've eaten as much as you did for your whole family. Mine had huge appetites!

[@michelles.8147]

I tried your chicken and dumplings for dinner and I couldn't believe how good such a simple recipe would taste. I did add a little poultry seasoning for a little more flavor. Keep up the simple meal ideas, I'm compiling them for my 20 year old son for when he moves out at least I'll know he wont starve or waste his money by eating out all the time. 😅

[@LesleeMqttingly]

I usually have sour cream in the fridge but I don't always have milk so if I make something that calls for milk, I just use sour cream with water added. If it's for something sweet I add a little bit of sugar.

[@littlesquirrel5007]

My kids love this chicken and dumplings too that's exactly how I make it except when I'm being fancy I dumped in some frozen peas and a couple of Frozen carrots just give it some color. Honestly it is absolutely delicious and you would never know it because it comes from such humble ingredients but it is truly one of our family favorites

[@cherylsxavier2975]

you can get a couple bags of frozen mixed vegetables a can of tomato juice and a 1/ 2 to 1 pound of hamburger meat and put everything in your instapot and cook for 20 minutes. it makes some wonderful soup!😋 cook some chicken breast bbq sauce and a tablespoon of mayonnaise in the instapot. cook till chicken is done (15 minutes???) and serve on buns for bbq sandwiches!😋 beans with a ham bone, cabbage and smoked sausage, quick spaghetti with hamburger meat, fried potatoes and onions with eggs and bacon, then blt sandwiches! (we add colby cheese!😁😋). Ham and eggs, rag grits cook a pot of grits and scramble 3 or eggs in a bowl. pour in the grits while you are stirring the grits and its done really fast. Oatmeal with sausage brown sugar and schredded cheese id great too! (mama made this for us when we were kids.) fried bologny and egg sandwiches.😁😋 the list goes on and on!
