5 CHEAP + TASTY Family Meals [made with mince/ground beef] - Mum of 16 KiDS

[@saraanderson6615]

Jeni, you are kind of like Jamerrill Stewart who does big batch cooking for her family of 9. I love watching you and her both even though I don’t cook for that many people, I can still get ideas and fix it to fit how many I cook for. 💚💚💚

[@TheBonellFamily]

Hi Sara. Thank you for your encouragement and your lovely compliment (Jamerrill is such a sweet and talented lady). Try double batch cooking and freeze your leftovers, that way you can save some money on buying larger quantities of ingredients ;-)

[@saraanderson6615]

I have done that with some things. 🙂 You’re very welcome. I have gotten lots of tips from you for other things besides cooking. God Bless❤

[@LisaofHopewell]

When my kids were home I'd cook all the hamburger (mince) with onion and garlic, scoop 2 1/2 cups into a freezer bag (equals 1lb uncooked. Life saver for after work cooking.

[@lynneanthony168]

I absolutely love cooking with you!! Your recipes are very practical, budget friendly, no special appliances or ingredients and most importantly, they look so good!!! 🎉

[@debbieblincoe9880]

Loved all of this thank you so much for sharing! I loved the tip of writing on the bottom of the bag what it was for certain areas in the fridge.

[@melissalee1531]

Thanks for sharing!!!! I love seeing how others make meals ! It’s great for getting new ideas ! God bless !

[@emza2023]

[@angiegryszan2005]

[@margo8956]

Hi Jeni, thank you I did enjoy your video. Some good ideas for me to try out. Always good to have dinner organised in the freezer.

In England we call it Mince

[@maryannanderson2213]

As I watched your first recipe it occurred to me that I am 247 years old and I have never, to my knowledge, tasted a lentil. Do you reckon I've been living under a rock?

[@adriennerose9522]

Watching your videos is very calming. I love your voice and accent. Thank you for peaceful videos that teach me something new all the time.

[@JaniceKonstantinidis]

Hi Jenny, it’s great to see you. Great video! Thank you, I always enjoy your videos! ❤

[@sallymay24]

You lost me at the mushrooms 🤣🤣 Everything looks awesome

[@TheBonellFamily]

Feel free to leave the mushrooms out 😉

Dads mince surprise looks amazing! And cheap too. Nice to see man of the house cooking. Great video all meals look easy and healthy and yummy

[@taylordickinson7544]

I’m from America and I’m very curious what choko’s are? I’ve never heard of them. Btw I love you guys and love to watch you!!!

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

They're chayote squash.

[@FlowerNana7]

You do such a nice job! I just watched your latest two, you did such a wonderful job with the freezers, hauls etc. thx for the hard work.🌸🌸

[@LisaofHopewell]

LOVE your shopping & cooking videos! It all sounds good. Puff pastry is expensive here in the USA and my family doesn't really like Pillsbury canned crescent rolls--a substitute. But that dish sounds REALLY good!!

[@sheilaperl4155]

Wonderful, tasty recipes! ❤

Lovely video, please keep giving us more when u can. South africa

[@LisaofHopewell]

Lentils! So good! Work in chili or spaghetti sauce just great!

[@ritawilliamson9387]

This is wonderful! Sure going to try some of these awesome meals as they look divine. Thank yo so much for explaining so well. Will have to change only few items as I live in America. You are such a blessing. Good to see your husband husband cooking a dish also. His looked wonderful as well. God bless! Please may I ask? What is a chokea? From Georgia, USA

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

It's a chayote squash. I was trying to buy one. I'm in OR, they're hard to find.

[@ritawilliamson9387]

@@DominiqueGarofalo Thank you. For letting me know. So kind of you.

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

@@ritawilliamson9387 Oh you're welcome ☺️ It looked so good I really wanted to try it! When I googled the shopping for it though it looked like 10-14 days to get one! I did a little more research though and the plant is native to central and south America so I thought they might have some at either a Mexican or perhaps El Salvadoran market or grocery store, the kind that has produce and not just specialty canned and bottled goods. They won't call it chokos though. I guess chayote squash is pronounced chocho. Good luck finding some if you try to make the Papa Surprise. Apparently this little squash is something of a superfood. Supposed to be really good for you.

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

Meatloaf sandwiches are the best!

[@kerrypapworth1526]

I couldn’t agree with you more Jenny. I have recently changed my shopping too and I find that although on the outset it looks as though I’m spending more I’m actually not because I’m not having wastage or spoilage.

[@karonwoods1583]

New subie Can't wait for more please

[@kassiewelch8205]

I’m curious about how you prepare the chokos for freezing. Have you already shared that in a previous video. I’m working my way from newest to oldest….😊

[@TheBonellFamily]

Lots of people like to blanch their veggies before freezing them but I don't bother. I just wash and peel them and make sure they are in sealed bags or containers. The veggies will defrost and be softer than fresh veg but because I'm cooking with them, it doesn't matter that they are a little bit softer. It actually makes the cooking time quicker as well.

[@kassiewelch8205]

@@TheBonellFamilyok, I had wondered about blanching. Thank you!

[@debramage739]

Nice work Jenni 😊

[@WLeo-kz5yy]

What are chokos?

[@jody_j]

Yummo! Which ziplock bags do you use? 😊

[@megmcvicar8973]

Hey jeni! Lovely to see a cooking video haven’t seen one in while! Just out of curiosity is it safe to cook frozen bacon then refreeze then cook once again? Just curious don’t want to give my kids food poisoning ❤️ thanks kind regards….. :)

[@Rosemary-h3t]

How do you know what time to cook your dinner

[@louisesproul8493]

[@fabimars]

Hello from Portugal !

[@marianegrete920]

Hi! But where are you kids to help you cook? God Bless

[@yvonnekoedood4611]

Hi Jenny, are the prices of mince ground beef also as here in the Netherlands doubled in prices, i paid for 1 kg 1000 gram now 15 euro's. sounds crazy but its not normal, normaly it is 5 euro

[@TheBonellFamily]

Hi Yvonne. The prices here have definitely increased!!!!!! I find it best to use what I call "filler foods" to help bulk up meals - tinned tomatoes, lentils, choko, potatoes, pastas and rice. Helps them go just that little bit further.

[@christinaking6530]

What kind of vegetable is chokos, never heard of it, is it similar to something else.

[@TheBonellFamily]

It's from the squash vegetable family.

[@jennifernewman7678]

Is a single serve for 1 person or a family meal?

[@alesharea6568]

I'm Australian and have no idea what choko is haha 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@christinaking6530]

Its nice bacon has a lot of meat no fat.

[@buddymojo]

What's a choko?

[@TheBonellFamily]

it's kind of like squash. It will take on any flavour that you cook with it.

[@charlotterobinson1581]

Hello Jeni and Fam I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER heard of CHOKE-0 IM ASSuming it is a type of celery grown in THE AUSTRALIANA CLIMATE….. I HATE celery 🤢 and mushrooms ICKY.
