Dollar Tree Christmas Dinner 🎄 Meatloaf from Dollar Tree!

[@leahlouwho7148]

This whole video made me smile. We grew up poor - but we never knew we were until we were older and kids were mean at school - cause my mom always made sure we were fed, and felt loved - I think that's where my own love of cooking has come from - and it's a joy to see you doing that for you and yours. You can make meager resources look like a bounty.

My family switches it up for Christmas. Typical southern soul food for Thanksgiving but for Christmas we have had a taco bar, seafood and chili/soups. This year we’re have Mississippi roast, bbq ribs, mixed greens, candied sweet potatoes, cornbread and Mac n cheese. Pound cake for dessert.

[@lovinmycurvescurls3842]

Damn that sounds good.....especially the Mississippi pot roast.....I made lasagna for Christmas....my mom made the salad, garlic bread and corn on the cob.....had cake and ice cream for dessert cuz it was my bday 🥰🥰🥰

[@melstark7265]

The year we did enchiladas with chili sauce was such a fun Christmas. It felt scandalous to deviate from the traditional menu but it was more fun for me, the cook.

[@beachblond1968]

What amazing ideas! I’m strictly traditional for Thanksgiving but love to mix it up at Christmas - love this.

I’m seriously getting addicted to this channel. I live alone (divorced & my kids live with my ex) and I hate shopping in general especially since it’s just me. It seems that the Dollar Tree may be the place for everyday dinners for myself.

[@charitynordstrom5734]

I would have never thought to use stuffing mix in a meatloaf. I bet it gave a nice flavor

[@ellevee1480]

I use stuffing mix all the time. It adds flavor and spices.

[@AJafterhourz]

I thought using stuffing in meatloaf was a universal thing? I’ve been doing it for years. It’s nothing new.

Thank you for these they really are helpful. Money has been really tight lately and your videos have been helping a ton.

That cool whip mixed with the pudding thing was genius! Very nicely done, Miss Lisa.

Yesssss I always tell people meatloaf is amazing! It’s like one giant home style meatball. So many people have never had a proper meatloaf experience!!!

[@b3thamphetamine]

If you happen to have piping bags, they work wonders for filling those types of desserts. Also, you could use a zip top bag, if you have that on hand too.

[@jaquelyngears1359]

I like the fact that you are honest using only the items at Dollar Tree and oil and spices. Other videos buy stuff from the dollar store or Aldis and then throw in 5 or 6 items they "just had". That's not a challenge. Yours are!

[@kimberlydonahue7241]

Thank you for these videos. I know what its like trying to make 10 bucks look and taste like a 100. You're doing a great job.

[@catherinerose9669]

My grandmother was Italian. She used to make a full turkey dinner AND an array of lasagna, ravioli, etc... every year for Christmas. I've simplified the menu to "just" a lasagna large enough to last us for three days. I serve it with homemade red sauce and meatballs. :)

[@ashleylamountain3228]

We do the same for Christmas Eve! ❤️

[@keart65]

Growing up we just had the exact same thing for Christmas as Thanksgiving. Now I do a beef tenderloin for Christmas day. Christmas eve I make leek soup. Dessert is sticky toffee pudding a Scottish recipe. No specific sides. Just whatever looks good and fresh when I'm at the store.

Hahahaha… bless you. I’m absolutely making the chocolate desert. We used to go all out with a Thanksgiving-like meal, but have switched to brunch, sides & ‘snack foods’ in recent years. It works for us so well, & we just leave it out like your family & people munch on what they want as they come & go. Plus, no post heavy meal food coma. 😊🎄

These videos are so amazing! Many people for whatever reason rely on Dollar Tree for their essential supplies . These are excellent ideas to create variety in meals. Do you ever find the Jennie-O brand of Ground Turkey patties at your Dollar Tree? I made a meatloaf using those & the Farmer John Sausage - & it was surprisingly good! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@elizabethmay7262]

For Christmas we have roasted potatoes, carrots and parsnips, steamed vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mint sauce, a vegan Wellington, nut roast and gravy. For pudding we have Christmas pudding and custard or ice cream, Christmas cake, any other dessert that anyone fancies and vegan chocolate, baklava and sweets. Obviously the puddings are not all eaten in one go except the Christmas pudding. This is all followed with a cup of tea. Merry Christmas to you 🎅🎄⛄💖

I love that California veggie blend! I stir in a can of creamed corn, salt, pepper to taste and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese (shredded or even from the shake can). Bake at 350 for 30 mins. Top with another 1/4 of parm and put back in for 10-15 mins. Best, quick veggy side.

Ours growing up were a repeat of Thanksgiving. Turkey, rice dressing, cornbread dressing, green beans, and mashed potatoes. My husband's growing up was Mundo, tamales, homemade tortillas, beans and rice, ham, and green bean casserole.

Your meal looks good! We switched to doing big Christmas breakfast rather than dinner after kids got older and moved out. This year we aren't going all out with French toast, waffles, pancakes (had hot chocolate and sprinkle pancakes last year) and cinnamon rolls with bacon/sausage/ham, eggs and fried potatoes as used to. Only having buttery biscuits/gravy with all the meat, eggs and potatoes. Then in the evening we go out for drinks. Its always such a fun day!!

I've always wanted to try to make homemade pasta but it's so intimidating for some reason lol watchin your vids though I think I may try it lol and for meatloaf one thing I always add to mine is a packet of onion soup mix, it's got a lot of flavor makes it really yummy.

It’s actually pretty simple. Just try it. You will rock it.

I don't think you know how much happiness you brought to me earlier today little reunion I had about 7 people I needed lil more patties and sausage I ended up spending $20 and using condensed milk for desert but everyone love it. And more importantly it was easy recipe and I didn't spend the initial $70. With inflation and high gas prices you show us how we can make loving unforgettable memories and happy bellies and be able to live afterwards.

[@sheilas.6170]

I'm obsessed with your videos. My granddaughter is struggling financially and I have send her your videos to help her on her food budget. I was wondering how your meatloaf tasted. I watched another budget dinner from the dollar tree and they said it was terrible. My favorite was the dessert...I am definitely making that. Thanks for making videos and sharing. We have prime rib or Turkey, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, Watergate salad, cranberry sauce, stuffing and either apple pie or pumpkin pie

[@jasminepittman5969]

We all just have a fun ,layed back day together and if they want to stay in thier new Christmas jammies that is perfectly fine with me.

On Christmas eve I roast a Turkey hindquarter, with roasted and steamed vegies, along with home made gravy. My husband loves Turkey and as we live in Australia Turkey is a treat only eaten at Christmas, well at least for us. Christmas day we do a cold lunch of Turkey, Ham, German potato salad, mixed green salad, coleslaw, and king prawns with home made seafood sauce. We have drinks, along with a charcuterie board, dips and crackers for starters. Dessert is a choice of hot Christmas pudding, brandy custard, pavlova topped with fresh whipped cream and raspberries, strawberries, blue berries, kiwi fruit, and grated milk chocolate . My brother always brings a cheesecake too. So much food to choose from. I love your channel, you are easy to watch and listen to. Merry Christmas.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

My ex-husbands family makes homemade noodles for their Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Lately, my son's gf has been making homemade gnocchi from their grandmother's recipe. It's dedication is all I have to say to that... lol. Your dinner looked fantastic.

[@sarahxsaysxrawr]

For Christmas we always do appetizers. We'll let the kiddos open presents and eat finger food and watch a Christmas movie. Pretty lowkey. When I was a kid, we'd go to my grandparents' house and they would definitely do like a full sit down meal.

[@COMMEDESJUSTIN]

I love your recipe videos! I love shopping at the dollar tree.

[@ZeldaKelly]

I love this video. Brings back good memories! My mom and grandma were the cooks! I remember both of them working for days on the meal (same with Thanksgiving). We would have the traditional turkey and dressing. We would stuff the turkey and then have baked dressing on the side as well. As the years went on and mom and grandma passed on, my sister would take Christmas and I would take Thanksgiving. Each one of us would try to make it our own but nothing was better than the days when mom and grandma were in the kitchen. We are now in different states and no longer get together on the holidays. But for my family, we changed from turkey or ham to a beef tenderloin or a crown roast. Always so much more than we can eat! With that I fix twice baked potatoes, (sometimes mashed as well) along with a Yorkshire pudding, gravy, deviled eggs, roasted brussels sprouts and steamed broccoli as well. All in all, its about the food but more about the memories. This year, it will be my son and his fiancé's turn to take over. I'm passing the helm to them. It's wonderful how these traditions are passed along. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season coming in 2024. Be well and thank you again for your delish and creative meals. I watch you very often. xx

This was fun to watch. Reminds me of years ago when my kids were little my ex and I didn't have much experience in the kitchen and we are both afraid of fixing large meals lol Now the dinner is served around a honey glazed ham sides are typically green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots, fresh rolls little smokies wrapped with bacon brown sugar maple syrup drizzled over the top..

My husband and I decided wanted to end the year off with a bang so we started doing Prime Rib and seafood. :) (This is coming from people who know and understand food insecurity, and we would never go out of means to have it if we couldn't. Its a treat and a celebration for the year, the accomplishments and defeats, and the push we need to go into the New Year)

Your creativity has inspired me to try this tonight. After watching your videos, the Last time I ordered groceries from Walmart, I got a few inexpensive 12 packs of their frozen hamburger patties to have on hand. Along with some frozen veg. In case I run low on groceries between orders. Which I often do. I'm on disability and don't drive and have very limited funds for deliveries. So I'm defrosting 6 patties to make a meatloaf for dinner tonight 😊 it's one of my favorite meals, and my dog's too lol... he will get his own dog friendly mini loaf, so I can use some frozen peppers and onions, and spices that he can't have, in mine. So Thx for the content!

[@justmikey1019]

Growing up Christmas dinner was usually very much the same as Thanksgiving only we had ham instead of turkey. One year we had beef tenderloin and another year it was prime rib roast and crab legs, those were both a special treat those years. Now the majority of the time we usually will make some sort of pasta dish like lasagna, stuffed shells, stuffed manicotti or baked ziti along with many other appetizers and we always have bacon wrapped water chestnuts, its been a favorite for almost 40 years. Being from Chicago we often times will also have Italian beefs. Dessert is always jello salad and some sort of pie like apple or cherry

I loved how your meatloaf looked. Thanks for giving me ideas in case we need to go low with our budget in the future.

[@LoriFalce]

At our house, we do lasagna and seafood on Christmas Eve, and then we do ham and turkey on Christmas Day. It's very much like Thanksgiving, but we aren't as rigid about the sides. Sometimes it's mashed potatoes, sometimes it's a potato casserole. I'm doing baked beans instead of stuffing this week.

[@DawnDavidson]

You do such a great job with your limited ingredients. When I am TN taking care of my parents, I often end up living out of the Dollar Tree there. I just don’t have TIME to do a big grocery shopping trip, often, and the DT is closer and cheaper (mostly). They have a freezer section - which my local DTs in CA lack - and often have pretty good selections. I will say that the frozen broccoli I got there was really pretty terrible (very tough!), but I have been amazed by most of the rest of the stuff I’ve gotten there. I’ve even gotten some real cheese in those tiny blocks they sell, for only 25 cents each (they were overstocked for their sell-by date, I guess)! I was VERY impressed by your pasta, too. I’ve made homemade pasta, but I had a pasta machine to help out. So you rolling them all by hand was very impressive! The dessert looked lovely, too. We used to make something like it when I was a kid. Making the three layers makes it look so pretty. :) Another trick to make it even fancier is to tip your glasses at an angle when you fill and chill them. Gives you fancy diagonal layers when you are done. :) Works like a dream(-whip?) with jello, too. For Christmas Day dinner this year, I joined my sister in SF to watch Kung Pao Kosher Comedy on her big screen, and she ordered Chinese food that I went to pick up. Before the pandemic, the Jewish comedy show was held in a Chinese restaurant 😆 but we had to get our own this year!

As a kid, Christmas dinner was sometimes turkey, but most often ham as everyone was sick of turkey from Thanksgiving. When I was with my ex, we did ham because he loved ham and not turkey so much. This year I am doing turkey, because it's what I like better, and I'm not sick of it! (Plus I got 2 free turkeys at Thanksgiving!)
