bubble pizza its fun and if you have small children around they can help you!. you need a 2 tubes of biscuits pizza sauce cheese and what ever you would like for your toppings!. I go with veggie pizza myself!. You can go to the store and pick up these items and you will spend less than 20!.00 place the biscuits in a single layer in 2 - 9x12 greased pans!. place your sauce and toppings on the biscuits and place in oven and bake according to the directions on the tube of biscuits!.

tuna and noodles!. this is so cheap! you can feed feed your family on this and still have money left over!.

1 16 oz package egg noodles
2 cans tuna drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup
1 cup of milk
plain potato chips crushed up 8 oz will do
8 oz cheese shredded buy block cheese and shred yourself if its less expensive
optional 1 can of baby peas

make noodles according to package and drain and rinse I place the noodles back in the pot and add the soup and milk and peas mix well add salt and pepper to taste

take that mixture and place in a 9x12 greased pan add shredded cheese on top and then place the crushed up chips on top of cheese bake uncovered on 350 for about 15-20 Dinner is served

variation - you don't need the chips and you can leave everything in the pot and mix all items together and warm long enough to melt the cheese


small beef roast about a pound and a half place in an oven safe dish add seasonings salt pepper beef boulion water to cover bake at 350 for about 4 hrs when done add frozen noodles to a pot with the broth from the beef boil noodles approx 20-25 mins until done cut the beef into small bite size pieces and add to the noodles make mashed potatoes and serve noodles and beef over the potatoes and have corn for a side


good luck and enjoy

This may sound gross, but it is one of my favorite foods that my college roommates and I came up with!. and everyone thats had it loves it!.

Ingredients:
1 (Family size) Velveeta Shells & Cheese Box
1 Can of Rotel Tomatoes
2 lbs of ground hamburger (Can substitute Ground Turkey, Its good too)

Brown the hamburger (or turkey), drain meat, cook shells (can do this in microwave as well)!.
Pour cooked shells into large container, then pour meat on top, pour in the cheese and rotel tomatoes, mix together!.
can serve with corn (i prefer to heat up a mixture of one can creme style, one regular (drained) and mix it in with the shells concoction)

Its simple, cheap, filling, and it makes a lot of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

At my grocery store, they have pizza dough balls for $1!.50 each!. It is SO GOOD and feeds about 2 hungry people per ball or 3 normal people per ball!. If you get 3 dough balls, some shredded cheese and different pizza toppings (go cheap, get some cheap sausage, ham, veggies, canned pineapple, think creatively) and make 3 pizzas
And get 1 extra dough ball for "bread" -- sprinkle with oil and garlic salt & everyone will adore you for it!.
Get a jar of mariniara sauce and heat & give to people for dipping!.

I think that can be done for under $20!.

(But, you'll need a pizza pan or two!.)
