This is the first of our series of our cooking 10 one but now on a budget. I’m gonna be taking you to the grocery store grabbing exactly what we need and breaking down how much it cost to make a meal. This was only $55 for our family at 10 so if you are smaller family this meal only cost you about $26.
I’m trying to challenge myself to make sure that I am conscious of the things that I’m buying, how much I’m buying, and how much are meals cost. I’m super excited about this new series and next up is going to be Joshua’s famous pizza casserole on a budget.
Here is the recipe for the homemade scalloped potatoes and ham with a beautiful salad:
Ingredients:
One onion, sliced thin
One stick of butter
Combine both in a sauce pan and let that cook on low while you start the roux.
Roux Ingredients:
One stick of butter
One cup of flour
1/2 tablespoon of salt
1/2 tablespoon of pepper
1 tablespoon of ground mustard
2 tablespoons of garlic
2 to 4 cups of heavy cream
1 to 2 cups of shredded italian cheese mixture 
To your one stick of melted butter add the salt and all of your spices
Whisk together until it forms a paste and let it bubble for about 2 to 3 minutes
Slowly add the whipping cream, next the shredded cheese mixture.
Additional Ingredients:
4 cups of carrots, chopped small
One bag of sliced yellow potatoes,
About one to 2 pounds of ham cut into chunks
Start by chopping the carrots, slicing the potatoes, and cutting your ham into chunks.
Next layer, the Scalloped potatoes first with some sauce on the bottom
Then potatoes, ham, carrots, and onions.
Repeat those layers, ending with sauce and sprinkling with Italian cheese mixture.
Bake at 375 for around 1 hour
