Hope that helps.
Casserole dishes are cheaper by definition.
Use rice, pasta, or potatoes as the starch base.
Choose diced chicken, ground turkey, or canned tuna for the protein.
Ground beef, pulled pork, or sliced sausage, cost a bit more.
Add whatever vegetables you have that are in season.
The sauce can be a can of soup mixed with milk or stock.
