$5 DINNERS: Extremely Cheap Easy Meals and THEY ARE DELICIOUS | Simple Cooking with Julia Pacheco

[@mimiseeyou]

Your channel is growing wow! Please don’t let these business sharks come in and convince you to add anything to your style! I love you because you don’t push merch or waste time. I do wish Walmart had an affiliate program like Amazon, that you could get earnings off the grocery shopping lists. You crush at managing and editing (I assume) your own channel. Don’t let anyone change your style sis! Hugs from North Carolina ❤

[@COSMIC_BR0WNIEZxx]

Agree to this!!

[@VianneWamann]

I very much agree. The sharks will come and try to tempt you. Please don't give in to them. We (my friends and I) love your channel just like it is, and we love your recipes. Sometimes they're like an adventure because we live in Europe and have to substitute some ingredients, but I can tell you: The Tastiness of your recipes prevails, no matter what! That's so awesome! ♥

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

Your mom

[@j.blase556]

I agree , this channel is perfect! I have stopped watching quite a few channels that are merch pushers as well. This channel just makes me happy and inspires me.

[@dianep1999]

Totally agree

[@sheenatalks8529]

I love your recipes! I had been struggling with a severe depression and once I was coming out of the other side, I needed simple easy basic things to make. Not something involving 3 pans and a bunch of dishes. I tried a home meal delivery but it was still so many dishes! Your videos gave me the first recipes I needed to feel confident in the kitchen again! I used to do the full meals but after 2020 I didn't know how to cook foods I liked in an easier way. I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us! I am so grateful ❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed my recipe so much. That means so much to me! I am happy to hear that you are coming out on the other side of your severe depression. I’m sure that has been a very difficult road for you. Thank you so very much for watching and I really do hope things get better for you and you continue to feel success in the kitchen🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ashleypotts]

I made the tamale casserole tonight. I doubled it and added extra taco seasoning. My hunny told me he loves this and he wants me to fix this often! It was a huge hit here! Thank you Julia!

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s awesome! Thank you so very much, Ashley💜 I am so happy to hear that you and your husband both enjoyed it so much and great additions too🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@granitemoss1451]

I know almost all of us are really trying to keep our grocery budget under control so these budget and family friendly recipes are GREATLY appreciated! I hope you and your adorable girls are enjoying your summer.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Things are just crazy! I think you’re exactly right. We’re all trying to do just that. Thank you so much for your kind words about my girls and I hope you have a great rest of your week💜🙌🏼

[@11plus3]

I love that you make these videos. It really can be done. The thought of anyone going to bed hungry or kids only eating junk food because it’s cheap and convenient makes me sad. You showing these ways to make hearty meals is encouraging.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Well thank you so very much! I really do appreciate your positive comment. Thanks so much for watching!🙌🏼

[@ceegee1706]

I love it! Thank you, Julia! Our food budget unexpectedly went down by a HUGE amount, so these videos are not only comforting because of your attitude and delivery, but also so helpful. So happy to see your channel growing!

[@JuliaPacheco]

I am so happy to hear that his meals can help. I’m sorry to hear that your food budget has gone down. Times are just tough right now for sure at the grocery store! I definitely get that. Thank you so much for your kind words too. That means so much to me🙌🏼You have a wonderful rest of your week!

As a long time viewer I have been able to keep many of these items on hand in my pantry. Tuesday our house went under contract, we're moving 🎉 These recipe's will be such a help here soon and will make for delicious low cost meals during our transition!! Thank you Julia 👏💕

[@annek1226]

Congrats and good luck!

[@angelashelsky1032]

The pre shredded cheese also has filler in it to keep it from sticking so the 8oz block you actually get more real cheese!

[@janiehill4256]

I actually came here to say that! Did you know that there is a legal amount you saw dust that can be used in shredded cheese?

[@comesahorseman]

The tip in pre shredded vs. block cheese is a good one! Thanks!

[@shannonbradley4699]

These are even great for me. I live alone but I can make it for dinner and freeze portions individually for me to take to work for lunches. Thank you, Julia for helping me stay in budget.

[@dstock5890]

Love your recipes Julia! Here’s a hint if you don’t have a jar of sauce): a can of tomato sauce, petite diced tomatoes, 1-2 tsp tomato paste to thicken, diced onion, garlic salt, and your seasonings (Italian seasoning). I add a Tablespoon of brown sugar (cuts the acid in the tomatoes).

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much for sharing your great hint and I sure appreciate you watching too🙌🏼

[@matthewe.1204]

The tamale casserole was absolutely delicious and keeps me full for the rest of the night when I come home from work. And it stretches well and feeds my sibling and I for the week. Well done for feeding us and keeping it affordable Julia, you’re such a savior 😭💕

[@JuliaPacheco]

I am so very happy to hear that! Thank you so very much for sharing your positive feedback about that meal and I’m so glad that it stretches so far for you and your family🤗

[@judyreynolds305]

Julia you so remind me of my younger self while I raising 4 children on a minimal wage job in the 80’s and 90’s . My crockpot was my bestie! I could shop those sale ads like a ninja! Menu based on the sales! We loved lentils also! They were .25cents a pound then!!! Lol! My budget was 50$ for 2 weeks. My children and I survived while I was putting myself thru nursing school program and did get my RN !!I’m retired now and in fixed income, so I’m back to my penny pinching grocery budget! Thanks for helping me to refresh my shopping frugally!!❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

You are such an awesome example, Judy! Thank you so very much for sharing what you did during those tough years raising your kids. You absolutely know how to be frugal and survive! I’m so inspired by people like you and thank you so very much for your positive feedback here💜🙌🏼💜

I made the Tamale Casserole recipe because I had 3 of the ingredients in my pantry already, and WOW, it is so easy and delicious. Thanks for always thinking of the woman on the go. Most importantly, thank you for simplifying things for those of us who don’t have a lot of time!

[@HomeschoolMamaBudgets]

Thank you so much for these recipes! I love how they are simple, budget friendly, AND full of flavor. Even my picky eater loves them.

That’s awesome! If you have a picky eater and they like this, then it definitely is a home run. Have a great rest of your week and I hope you all enjoy💜💜

[@sylviaseri4235]

I don’t know if you ever made ziti with broccoli, oil, garlic, grated cheese. It’s delicious. Also I make one 8oz bag of frozen spinach with 2 cans of white beans, one pureed, one drained, chicken bouillon, oil, garlic, crusty Italian bread to sop up the sauce. All low cholesterol, high fiber, high protein.

[@teresabell1014]

[@iriswelch3553]

Making even one of these meals each week helps keep down the food budget. I just made your lentil and potato soup (added a bit of smoked sausage) and it was wonderful, plus it made a lot. We are a household of two, so it's nice to have a few lunches in the freezer! Thanks for all your great recipes!

I have made the Shepherds Pie a few times now, and let me tell you it is absolutely delicious. It is easy to make but still has amazing flavor and is true comfort food. I think it will be my go to meal if I am taking a meal to a friend. Thank you Julia! So very grateful for your channel.

That’s wonderful! Thank you so very much for sharing your positive feedback about that shepherds pie. And you are so right! It would make a great meal to share with others. Thank you so much again I hope you have a great weekend💜💜

[@kmonti1]

I am leaving my teaching job next week and beginning part-time remote work so I can be home with my son. I've already been getting into the habit of eating budget meals. Thank you for these recipes that are affordable and accessible while still incorporating nutrition! With eating on a budget, it's about what you can add to your meals to make them healthier and tastier, rather than what you have to subtract from them.

[@imsewblessed1578]

You are so smart. I love these ideas and will definitely give them a try. 😊

Thank you so very much! And yes, it’s so much better when you shred it yourself. I hope that you’re picking husband enjoys some of these meals💜💜

[@Pittykittymomma4ever]

Same!! I had never seen the mozzarella blocks at Walmart before until Julia! The cheese does melt better because the pre-shredded has the anti-caking agent in it! It's much tastier!!

[@virginiagreen741]

I just want to say that you are my hero! For someone who's not much of a cook and doesn't really like cooking like me ! Your easy recipes makes so much easier to get dinner on the table without all the stress of trying to over think what to make and less prep time. Easy and delicious 😋 Amazing.

[@gabriellavaldez5547]

Unless shredded cheese is on sale, the price is usually higher per oz than on the block. I buy the blocks because they are cheaper, plus it keeps longer in the fridge. Grating cheese is not that hard, I normally ask my kids to help with it. 😊 Thanks again, Julia, for another great set of recipes ❤

[@dreamscape405]

And it tastes so much better when you grate it yourself too😊

[@MdnightWnd]

Definitely tastes better and melts better. I invested in one of those cream cheese shredders and it’s been worth every penny. Makes shredding so much quicker and easier.

[@traceymoores218]

Grated cheese generally has an anti caking component in it - typically wood pulp…

Love watching all your videos , very easy recipes and budget friendly. Only suggestion I have is to mince your meat up more into smaller pieces when frying it so it incorporates in the recipe better. So many big chucks. Only my opinion of course , people may like big chunks .

God bless you Julia. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipes with us. I happen to have both zucchini & squash that I want to use up and this video is perfect timing. I am going to try your Spaghetti with yellow squash & zucchini for supper tonight (maybe doubling up to have for another meal this week). It looks like a winner. Thanks🙏🏻so much.😉

That’s awesome to hear! I sure hope you enjoy that spaghetti with squash and thank you so very much for watching💜🙌🏼

Thank you for the shredded cheese tip. You're right about the packaging making it seem like you're getting more with the idea of less work.
