$5 Fridays

My $5 meal of the week belongs to...

SOUTHWESTERN CASSEROLE from Allrecipes.com

Since this recipe is a double batch then I will take the cost of the recipe as is and then divide by 2 for the cost!

Ingredient List and cost per item

7 oz package of macaroni - free (paired with coupon and sale)
2 lbs ground beef (using turkey) - $4.00
1 large onion - .17
2 garlic cloves - .10
2 cans diced tomatoes - free (paired with coupon and sale)
can kidney beans - .79
can tomato paste - .25
can chopped green chiles - .25
2 cups shredded cheese - .40
I don't count the cost of the spices. Hard to measure!

Total cost for two meals - $5.96
Cost per meal - $2.98

That is an awesome cost for a meal to feed a family of four and have leftovers!
