There is nothing worse than going to the kitchen to make something to eat only to find that you are extremly low on groceries. That happens to me at least a couple of times a month.
I try and stick to two shopping trips a month because if I go every week, I spend more money than what I need to. So, on one such occasion when the cupboards were in fact bare, I decided to concoct my own special recipe.
I had some burger, some soup, a few potatoes, and of course there’s always dry pasta in the house somewhere. I tossed this little casserole together, not quite sure what was going to come of it. It actually came out really good!
I thought maybe that’s how I felt because I was hungry and I knew there weren’t any other options, but my husband and kids enjoyed it too. Now, I don’t even have to have empty cupboards to make this. It’s actually a normal meal at our dinner table these days.

Not only is this a dish that is simple and tasty, it’s also super affordable. If you are working on a tight budget, you can always get a decent meal out of this. It makes a huge casserole pan full too so chances are you are going to have leftovers. They can be stored in the fridge and warmed up the next day. They still taste great, and maybe even better after the flavors get to soak into one another overnight. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:

If you have picky little ones at home, this is a meal that everyone in the family can agree on.
