What if I told you that these items could help you create an easy $5 dinner? As part of my Dollar Dinner Challenge, i used these items to do just that!
I made the pasta, the peas, and the chicken all in one pot. Then I transferred it to a greased baking dish and added some cheese.
Then I mixed some bread crumbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread the mixture on top. The I baked it in a 350° oven for 20 minutes to melt the cheese.
My boys really loved this easy casserole and I even served it with a side salad.
I know that some Dollar Trees don't have a frozen foods section, but I did see some canned veggies that you could grab instead! This challenge was created to help inspire busy families to use their imaginations and not count out your local dollar store when you're in a pinch or on a strict budget! I did serve my dish tonight with a side salad which I had all of the ingredients. Ready for the recipe?!
