Note: This budget assumes that you will have some items in your house like pantry staples like flour, sugar, vanilla extract, spices, garlic, bouillon power, and onion. Basically things that you don't buy every time you go to the store. Considering that this meal includes very common items, you may even have a few items in the meal already in your house beyond pantry staples. Planning early and shopping at store like Aldi, discounts stores, or sales can greatly decrease the cost.
Feel free to add turkey or ham to this meal. Closer to the holidays stores practically GIVE AWAY hams and turkeys.
I used 3 bundles total of kale and turnip greens b/c they were only $1.24, but collards greens can be used. The collard greens were $2.50 per bundle, so this was cheaper.
I mostly purchased store brands to keep the cost low, but I at times can get name brand on sale and will purchase that. I live in NC. Grocery prices will vary. I spent $39 at the store for the groceries. Then used a few items I had at my house to make this $50. By eliminating things like cheese ( like in Mac and cheese) you can indeed get this meal for this price (give or take a couple dollars) in certain areas. This could feed a family of 5 ( 2 adults 3 kids) comfortably.
