These all look so delicious and I love how easy and inexpensive they are to make. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thank you so much You are so kind Thank you for being here

[@David-ve8pk]

I just learned that Fritos can be lit like a candle! The doctor said that it is bad to eat them and most people can't stop at just a single Frito! I started to cry because I wanted to add them to the recipes with chili.. I think using a corn chip is less stressful on the digestive system.

[@pattywilliams788]

@@David-ve8pk I’m pretty sure that most chips are probably like that, especially ones made from corn even the ones labeled as “Simply” or non-GMO, etc. Nevertheless, it’s always best to limit your junk food even though they are sooo good! Even if they’re bad for you, sometimes you just gotta have a handful. I know 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@betsykirkman8665]

Dehydrate some sweet potatoes my friend. You will get that satisfying crunch. 😁

[@chasitytaylor8858]

My step daddy used to jokingly say all my mom knew how to cook was ground beef, but as an adult I see that she was making those dollars stretch to feed our family well. 😊♥️

[@leticiaflores9842]

Wonderful as always! Thank you for also always adding in the directions and ingredients below, I truly appreciate that!. Have a blessed day😊👍👏 🍳

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thank you! You are so sweet!

[@kathybridges3343]

It’s not lazy to add frozen vegetables, they actually have more nutrients then canned and just as much as fresh.

[@geegotti2835]

👍

[@leighk2702]

The Dorito Casserole is in the oven! My picky family asks me to omit onions. Does you husband know how lucky he is to have you as his wife? I'm 60 and love following your homemaking tips!

[@kerriekrafts]

Abby I buy the same roll of meat, if you lift that little flap on the packaging there are lines, every line is a 1/4 pound so every 4th line is where I cut for 1 pound, takes the guess work out! Lol!

[@soniahawkins3821]

Nice

[@leighk2702]

Wish I had seen this before I cut mine. I figured best to cut in thirds and do 1 1/2 lb.

[@kerriekrafts]

@@leighk2702 the lines are so helpful, just count 4 and cut and you’ve got 1 pound! I split mine up and wrap in wax paper and put in a freezer bag and freeze in 1 pound packages.

[@wendywilliams2160]

Love watching your little nugget playing with the cabinets and sitting on your hip ❤️😊

[@raynah412]

I love this because your not just doing meat and pasta and that’s it it’s a good variety

[@calliewhitley8224]

I am excited for your vlog! I always love your grocery haul, meal prep/ mom stuff because it's relatable! Have a good week 😊

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thank you! You too!

[@mrsbravo728]

I make a version of the Frito pie one, but my family calls them 'Frito Burrito' I basically just use cans of chili, Fiesta cheese and Fritos and wrap them in a tortilla. I used to work at Knotts Berry Farm out here in California and they used to sell them in our break room.

[@mellowyellow9395]

Just found ur channel, that Frito pie is different I make taco soup then use the Doritos as chips. Imma try thanks

[@WilletteB]

Ground beef is so versatile. I appreciate these ideas. Your channel always has great recipes. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for watching!

[@patimastbrook5278]

Ground beef isn’t cheap anymore… sad but true

[@70applejack]

Thanks Biden

[@shanevarady3735]

I think the video is more about cheap things you can add to the ground beef. Like cheap ground beef recipes. Ground beef was never cheap :p

[@priscillabohn4621]

you are amazing!!! for that ground beef chopper I got mine at Dollar Tree it is the Betty Crocker one

[@blancahull7085]

One thing you could do is make a large batch of rice and freeze it in portions you want. Then when you want rice take it out and defrost it and warm it up. :)

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Good idea!

[@sandrataylor3723]

Thanks for some great ideas. I like the idea of buying the hamburger in rolls and cutting them up into one-pound pieces and freezing the others until needed. Makes a lot more sense than buying one pound at a time.

[@blancahull7085]

You aren't lazy you are smart!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Trying to work smarter, not harder :)

[@WilletteB]

I tried the Frito Pie for supper tonight. It was a winner. I didn't have a chili packet for seasoning, but I had seasoning on hand to make do until I grocery shop again. Thanks so much for your great channel and your meal ideas. ❤️

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

I am so glad to hear that!! You are so welcome!

[@laurengreen9279]

Yum!! Thanks for the video!! Sesame oil definitely gives extra flavor depth, however it can be unsafe to cook things in it that way. It easily catches on fire due to its low smoking point! I think you’re more supposed to use it as a finishing oil at the end.

[@KellyG4729]

I love your "lazy" way. It's not lazy it's smart. Most busy cooks have all these foods in their home. It's the best, most efficient way to cook.

[@wishes8220]

I love the cooking with a baby on your hip!! Looks like me!!! These recipes are so easy and delicious. Thank you 😊

[@Branbrina]

I was just looking to see if you had a new video up and bam! Yay 😁

[@bethanyg153]

I’m going to make a meatloaf this week with liver mixed in. Such a superfood and cheap. My husband notices it but he’s out of town this week. The kids and I don’t mind it!

[@Ken-jv9ro]

Enjoyed this video very much. It’s so realistic cooking and it made me chuckle a couple times. I will definitely try these recipes. Thanks for sharing.🌹

[@sabinewren6588]

Not 'lazy' Efficient! :)

[@tammifields4142]

Right!💖

[@MountainMommaLiving]

These are great Abby! Thank you!!

[@teeser2436]

All of these recipes look delicious !!❤️

[@ChriztineLynn]

Wow these all looked so good! Thanks for sharing.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for watching!

[@aprilknutson2809]

No enchilada sauce? Also adding hoisin to the Korean bowls adds more flavor. We also add a fried egg and sriracha.

[@Thatsbananas1289]

Yes to hoisin ! 👏🏼 If I don’t have hoisin I add brown sugar to the soy sauce then pour it onto the beef. SO good!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to look for that at the store.

[@juttakasapis6408]

You rock ! Always appreciate everything you do !😊😘😍

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheMotherReborn]

I'm a sahm and I don't know any cheap recipes and my kids are so tired of hamburger helper it's Tues and I'm going for the 2nd recipe this week. Thank u ur saving on my grocery bill

[@texasgal6201]

Everything looks so easy! The dorito casserole looks like it is to die for!!!

[@darlenewildstar2042]

All these look so good!!

[@jomama81ranch8]

My only drawback on the Frito Pie cooked here is that the ground beef wasn't fully cooked before adding the spices and other ingredients. I realize it does cook and boil and get done, however.... and it is probably JUST ME, but I find that the finished product tastes slightly like raw meat. LOL My mother in law makes sloppy joes and adds the spice and tomato sauce to the pot while the beef is still pink and I can "taste" the raw meat for some odd reason! I would completely cook the ground beef, and drain the grease a bit more using a couple paper towels, before adding the spice packet... if it were ME! But this dish looks really good!

[@morganalexandria2524]

Great ideas!! Can’t wait to try these!

[@DaleRussell2]

Some great and easy meal prep. Thanks ❤️

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

You are so welcome!

[@glendagoodson4106]

I love your Sybil’s curls!!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Oh honey, I am always looking for ground beef recipes and your video was very good. I make hamburger stew and meatballs and meatloaf with hamburger, oh, and my homemade Mexican food, all with hamburger. I love your recipes. Great video.

[@hello-vs4me]

Love your videos thanks 💘 😊 god bless you and your family 😊 👪 🙏 😀 ❤ thanks again will be making all these thanks 😊

[@ca6177]

Thanks, very easy meals to prepare!

[@nadiajanee665]

I tried the frito pie tonight but used Doritos instead and it was yummy! It tasted even better because it took less than 30 minutes to make! Lol Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Sounds great!

[@marissaferris6665]

Thank you so much!! I wrote all these down. You work so hard and give us what you ask for on youtube. Thank you 🤟🏻🙏

[@angelajeffers2384]

I didn't cook that much until I started watching you. It's cheaper for me. Thanks girl...

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

You are so welcome

[@frankieniedorf4463]

GREAT RECIPES

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Glad you like them!

[@sherrydaniels5060]

thank you for sharing abby! im going to try some of these receipes. looking forward to more videos soon.

[@BrillBrillThe3rd]

Aldi has pretty decent proces on ground beef, for anyone looking!

[@veronicacanisalez9519]

It’s not called being Lazy it’s called being Practical… And it saves money buying frozen veggies in a bag instead of separately. As always I enjoy your videos I want to try the Doritos meal but I’m afraid we won’t like it.

[@matteameisner2159]

We use tostitos chips instead of doritos. Pretty similar in final taste🙂

[@mellowyellow9395]

Try taco soup with the chips your family will love it

[@David-ve8pk]

We have an alpha course starting at our church for home group and this recipe would be a huge hit to have made for the folks! The chips and bake it is a really great idea!

[@janetsheets7241]

Think you for ground beef recipes

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

My pleasure 😊

[@bonniepwtf]

So happy to see a video from you, as always. They all looked smart & easy. I especially will try the enchiladas. I have to watch my sodium intake & without the canned sauce, it's something I can have. Thank you Abby, hope you have a good week ahead.💟

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for watching Bonnie!

[@susanhendrix8701]

The tool you used to break up the ground beef can be purchased at the dollar tree. I bought 2

[@kerriekrafts]

I’ve had the pampered chef version for years but was shocked to see one at the dollar tree a couple of weeks ago! It’s a tool well worth the $1!!

[@MrHevyshevy]

I enjoyed that. Maybe my daughter will eat a dorito casserole. I gotta try it.

[@lynnmessier8717]

I couldn't eat these recipes,I have to eliminate sodium as much as possible.They look so good,they are real comfort food stuff,your ideas are very good.I eat your recipes with my eyes,lol.

[@wyattlauth1453]

You should try using another form of garlic. Fresh is best but dried minced or powder is good too, as long as there’s some kind of moisture in what you’re cooking. The jarred stuff just isn’t nearly as flavorful as some of the other form factors

[@christinagonzalez7125]

Thank for sharing u do what do with my 5lb ground I also cut it in sections freeze bag my ground I also buy mine at Walmart looks so yummy try some ur recipes thanks for sharing

[@Ladyliriano]

You’re little person toddling around the stove was super cute🥰

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

😊 thank you

[@karenquick8737]

Thank you so much!! These all look so yummy! I like the music too!

[@michaelanngarcia4012]

Enchilada sauce and enchilada seasoning too

[@David-ve8pk]

I usually drain the bean cans before I add it to the chili. Sometimes the liquid causes "gas" which isn't going to help fill up the car!🤭 But we use 2 kinds of beans. Red and black beans. Then I add onions, red pepper, fresh garlic, roasted tomatoes, tomato paste and then a few spices that I buy in bulk. There is a place on Cape cod that is Truro, MA. Prices are great and they ship free depending on how much you order. My wife and I go there 2 a year and stock up. Vanilla is a great price for a huge bottle. Fritos in the bottom.. 🤓👍

[@kishgrant4078]

Hi, new subscriber here! Luv your channel, lots of great ideas. I also buy larger packs of ground beef to save money. I like to fry it all up at once with onions and peppers then freeze it in meal size portions and it's ready to be made into anything that uses scramble fried ground beef.✌️🇨🇦

[@leannasexton8968]

H‑E‑B makes their own version of the microwave rice. It is way cheaper than the Uncle Bens version. Just thought I would share. 😀

There are 3 things we share The glass dish, meat masher ( mines yellow) and the veg chopper. Your recipes I might try a few. But not use a can instead I would prefer using tooth picks. The can is just to nasty to touch my clean meal

If the hamburger 🍔 is frozen and you recook it can you freeze the hamburger again .? Great job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@RAM-eb2te]

Yummy! Definitely trying!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Hope you enjoy :)

[@bethanyg153]

I bet a couple teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and some chili flakes would be bomb on that stir fry!

[@meanhe8702]

I let my hamburger cook all the way, drain the grease then add the spices, or sauce, that way it doesn’t get wasted. I’ll bet that dorito pie would be delicious with a layer of queso cheese.
