When my kids were small, they loved "porcupine meatballs"
Stir in 3/4 cup minute rice to each pound of hamburger meat, roll into 2" balls, and bake in un-diluted tomato soup.Simple, cheap & yummy.
They loved when I made meat sauce and used different noodles than spaghetti--like mostaccioli or rotini. You can also throw all that together, toss in some chopped pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, black olives and a bunch of shredded mozzarella for a "pizza" casserole--never had any leftovers when I made this!
Tacos, meatloaf, shish kabobs, bbq chicken or ribs....
Stuffed pepper soup is good & cheap (google for recipes). Mac & cheese is great with chopped ham, broccoli & more cheese baked in it.
Be creative...you won't create a hit EVERY time, but I think you'll bat well over .500!
I buy a roasted chicken from the deli at my grocers. The first night we eat a couple of slices of the breast meat with potato salad, sliced tomatoes, rolls (buy enough for three meals), and sometimes baked beans. I then remove the leftover chicken from the bone and dice some to put over salad vegetables. I also chop some and mix it with chopped hard cooked eggs, mayo, salt, and pepper. This way my husband and I have three meals from one chicken. I buy whatever chicken they have in the deli-BBQ, lemon pepper, sweet jalapeno, etc.
You can also cook a package of pasta and mix some with balsamic vinegar or mayo, diced cheese, halved grape tomatoes, celery, salt, pepper, and onion (you can add a little olive oil to taste if you'd like). I serve this with rolls and cold cuts. These recipes keep me from having to heat up the kitchen here in the deep south during 90-100 degree weather.
