Cheap dessert: either leave the flour tortilla whole or cut into 8ths. Fry until crisp sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, drizzle with Hershey syrup and dollop of whipped cream. Fast and uses up the tortillas.

I am a single person and I made this, it was wonderful! I used 1 can soup and 1/2 can buiskts, it made me 2 big meals . Used the rest of the buiskts and made waffles,great. Thank you

I love that your meals are really $5 meals, not $5 per serving, like most budget videos are.

I appreciate that you have REAL recipes for REAL families!

I made the “chicken” and dumplings for myself today, and I added a quarter can of corn, a quarter can of green beans, and a quarter can of carrots, it is absolutely delicious, thank you for the amazing idea

Hi, and I am new to your channel. However I wanted to let you know that I was inspired by your chicken & stuffing casserole. I used my leftover rotisserie chicken meat instead, didn't have carrots but did have frozen mixed veggies, and melted the last of my colby-jack cheese on the top. It turned out delicious!!! Thanks for this awesome recipe. BTW: I'm a single disabled women with right side weakness from my massive stroke, and many of your dinner ideas work for me cos of my limited abilities. Thanks for sharing them.

Down to earth cooking on a budget that people actually want to eat! Yesss! Love it!

Your tip for looking for bags of things with extra ingredients is smart! I never really thought of that. As a mom living in this world of rising prices, but not rising income, I appreciate any tip I can get! The recipes look tasty, customizable, and affordable! Thank you!

OMGosh Brooke!! I made your cheap chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight and it was a hit!! Perfect for a cold winter's night for sure!!! Everyone is now sitting in the couch with lots of blankets watching Frosty the Snowman with full bellies!! You are the best girl...thank you so much for sharing!! And it was $3.65 for dinner for 4 of us with enough for hubby to take a bowl to work tomorrow!! Woohoo!!

I have a daughter in college, so I am trying every one of your recipes. Thank you so much! I love your personality and sense of humor.

I am a single disabled lady and every month after bills and groceries I am dead broke until payday agaiñ. Everything you made looks delish and like things in have had before but made in a much more expensive way you may have very well helped me out in saving some cash on groceries and still have great dishes. Thank you!❤❤

A easy cheap casserole to make is - 1 lg onion chopped - 3 lg potatoes , sliced in rounds about 1/4 inch thick- 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and add 1 & 3/4 cups of water to the soup and mix it up in a bowl - 2 - cups shredded cheddar cheese- in a 9 X 13 casserole dish put the onions on bottom - layer in the round sliced potatoes - pour over your mushroom soup mixture and cover in foil and bake at 375 for 1 hour- remove from oven remove foil sprinkle over the 2 cups of cheese - return to oven uncovered and bake 10 more minutes! This casserole I’ve been making gif at least 40 yrs it’s delicious and can be served alone or with a dude dish ! If you have the extra money you can fry up a pound of hamburger meat or some sausage or bacon snd add into the casserole on top of the potato layer before you pour on the mushroom soup mixture, follow the rest of the video as written! This recipe can be cut in 1/2 if you have a small family!! 🙏✝️🙋🏻

I'm so happy I came across your channel with my hours being cut at work and food prices getting higher I was stressing out about how to save money on groceries you're a blessing!!❤️

Brooke, you have brought back to life Chicken and Dumplings and from so many comments on them, there's a whole lot of Southerners listening/viewing! ❤ Keep on Keeping on!

It is amazing to me that anyone can actually complete all the steps involved in filming, editing and uploading content on to KZfaq let alone make it interesting and helpful. Be kind and positive to yourself. I am in awe of all content creators including you! Your family is adorable, all of your southern charm is refreshing and renews my faith in families who enjoy each other. Thanks! Pretty sure you will reach 1000 subs before summer.

Oh, I have a cheap eats meal for you to make. All you need is a can of apple pie filling, 4 to 6 pork chops and put a box of stuffing on top. That order. Make The stuffing as instructed Place apples on bottom then chops then stuffing in a rectangular baking pan. Bake at 375 covered for 50 minutes. Uncover bake 10 more

I also get a gallon bag and add any vegetables I have left over and make vegetable soup for a meal. Even if its 1 spoonful I put it in the bag. When the bag is full put it in the pot and heat up on low for 30 minutes. Then add some water and cook for another 30 minutes and serve! There's a pot of free soup!!!!!😁

Boxed stuffing mix is a pantry stable. I get several boxes when they're on clearance after Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like to run it through my food processor and make seasoned bread crumbs. It so good! Thanks for all the meal ideas. I'm a Mississippi gal and we Southern cooks gotta stick together. :)

Going to try the chicken and dumplings this weekend. Again....on behalf of everyone having a tough time...thank you. Always looking for something my son can hear up for himself after school.

I make some drop biscuit mix out of flour and seasonings and I let it sit for 15 minutes in a warm spot. Then I get a bowl of COLD water and a teaspoon. I dip the spoon in the water and then use the side of the spoon in the mix to dip and just get a little bit and drop it in the boiling chicken broth. Remember to dip your spoon in the cold water EVERY TIME after you dropped the mix in the pot. You can make as much mix as you want. I guessed it cost me $1 dollar to make the dumplings and another 3 dollars for the homemade chicken broth and a bag of mixed vegetables. So $5 buckes and I fed 13 people and a bunch had seconds too!!!!!😁😁

If I had to pick either salt or pepper salt has zero chance. I love pepper note to self I need an instant pot. Love you Marjorie ❤😂

My kids love this chicken and dumplings too that's exactly how I make it except when I'm being fancy I dumped in some frozen peas and a couple of Frozen carrots just give it some color. Honestly it is absolutely delicious and you would never know it because it comes from such humble ingredients but it is truly one of our family favorites

Thank you for admitting you were having an off day. Yes we all have them but people usually expect you to be upbeat all the time and that's just not the way it us. Happy to see you feeling better at the end though.

Sooo many great frugal ideas !! Love it !!

you can get a couple bags of frozen mixed vegetables a can of tomato juice and a 1/ 2 to 1 pound of hamburger meat and put everything in your instapot and cook for 20 minutes. it makes some wonderful soup!😋 cook some chicken breast bbq sauce and a tablespoon of mayonnaise in the instapot. cook till chicken is done (15 minutes???) and serve on buns for bbq sandwiches!😋 beans with a ham bone, cabbage and smoked sausage, quick spaghetti with hamburger meat, fried potatoes and onions with eggs and bacon, then blt sandwiches! (we add colby cheese!😁😋). Ham and eggs, rag grits cook a pot of grits and scramble 3 or eggs in a bowl. pour in the grits while you are stirring the grits and its done really fast. Oatmeal with sausage brown sugar and schredded cheese id great too! (mama made this for us when we were kids.) fried bologny and egg sandwiches.😁😋 the list goes on and on!

All great my fav was the chicken n dumplings love your channel

I'm so excited about trying the chicken and biscuit dish! I love Campbell's Chunky chicken pot pie soup but those are getting so dang expensive! I've never seen/heard about how easy it'd be to make my own, and I've got like 4 cans of cream of chicken collecting dust in the pantry. I think I'll add some canned veggies just to mimic the soup a bit more. Thanks for this awesome video!!

I totally agree with the subscriber below! Great ideas for great simple meals that don't look like mush!

Fantastic ideas! Loving your videos!

Thank you.....I'm a new subscriber.........enjoying so much!

So glad to find your channel.

Thankyou for showing us everything.

At the beginning you played my cousin Jimmy's song. 😁 May have to make chicken and dumplings that way. Never thought of just using the soup and biscuits. Yum. I'd normally make it with just chicken, broth, mixed veggies. With biscuits. Love your meal ideas. Ranch with pizza. Yum.

Your hair looked great!! I think these recipes are good ones!! ☺

Just found your channel. Loving it!

I grew up eating chicken and dumplings on a special dinner on Sunday afternoon after church. I loved it.

I usually make homemade biscuit n dumplings too but this would be a quick week night version. My husband and kids love them. I make my dumplings small too. That's how my family prefers them. Small and lots of them!

i absolutely love your channel! i started my own as well. you're amazing!!!

Thanks for the ideas!
