Dollar Tree Christmas Dinner 🎄 Meatloaf from Dollar Tree!

Hey friends! In this video I decided to make a Christmas dinner using only ingredients (minus spices) from the Dollar Tree!
The Dollar Tree isn't always the best value compared to places like Walmart or Aldi, but these videos are more about accessibility, food access, and getting creative with a limited grocery selection.
Dishes included meatloaf, macaroni and cheese (well, garganelli and cheese actually), oven roasted vegetables, bread rolls, and a 3 layer pudding for dessert! The total for everything was $15, though a few dollars could have been knocked off the total if you had some of the basics like milk and eggs in your fridge already.

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 🥰🥰🥰

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.

We do the same for Christmas Eve! ❤️

[@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 🎅🎄⛄💖

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.

[@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.

[@Tanya_LitLife]

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. 😊🎄

[@lindabeck3412]

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 🎄

[@christinatareski8882]

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.

[@christinecatrambone964]

I have to try this one

[@GB-wn1cl]

Do you just mix it all together then bake it on a baking sheet? (Cream corn, cheeses) ?

[@mrsgonzo4564]

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 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.

This could be fun! I do the big Thanksgiving dinner, Ham, cornbread dressing, Mac & Cheese, Collards, Deviled Eggs & a dessert, Spending 2&1/2 days in the kitchen. But for every Christmas it’s a South MS Seafood Gumbo, white rice, saltine crackers, potato salad & a Oreo cream Pie. I’m only in the kitchen on Christmas Eve & can enjoy my family Christmas Day. See, the Seafood Gumbo, potato salad & the pie is ALWAYS even better the next day. Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas & a Safe Happy New Year’s

[@ThatLisaDawn]

Thank you so much!

[@PsychicZeldaKelly]

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

[@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!

[@imnmbrone1492]

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

[@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

[@shirleygiordano7627]

My parents make homemade wedding soup, homemade ravioli, and other Italian food of choice. I'm Italian. And I love Christmas dinner. 🎄

[@mjd2491]

Your meatloaf recipe is also an excellent meatball recipe! I add chopped onion and reserve the ketchup to mix with brown sugar and spread on top of the loaf like a glaze. You can make it with just hamburger. But I think using half pork and half beef is the best.

[@jasminepittman5969]

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.

[@Lurvification]

Growing up it was very similar to Thanksgiving, sometimes it was Ham, sometimes it was Turkey. 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)

[@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.

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!)
