Looking for a mix and match dinner plan to pinch pennies on the fly?
Here’s what you need:
Starch option of choice (potatoes, pasta, rice, etc.)
Protein option of choice (leftover chicken legs, ham, ground beef, etc.)
Binder of choice (cheese sauce, homemade béchamel sauce, etc.)
Vegetable of choice (leftover asparagus, broccoli,carrots, frozen spinach, etc.)
Mix together in desired amounts for the “create a casserole” option of your choice. Affordable,
nutritionally sound, and only creates one dish to clean after the family meal. This strategy helps “Make
It Happen” in terms of both time and money.
