I avoided the grocery store for several days after Thanksgiving break, but it was time to restock the kitchen AND pick up a few holiday favorites from Walmart and Aldi! I’m working on lots of cooking videos this month, so I had to pick up some ingredients for those as well!

My dad makes this chili several times every winter, and it’s always a hit! When I was in high school, my friends always found a way to be at our house when dad had a pot of this simmering on the stove! I simmer mine in the crockpot now, but still eat it the way he served it…over rice with toppings of our choice (cheese, sour cream, chips, crackers)!

Dad’s Chili:
1lb ground turkey, browned
1pkg smoked turkey sausage, chopped (or pulsed in food processor)
2 cans chili beans
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1 15oz can tomato sauce
2C chicken broth
2 TBSP chili powder
2 tsp cumin

This is something I make frequently, especially when our busy family needs to “eat in shifts” due to our activities schedule. This makes A LOT on purpose because we like to have leftovers for lunches!

1lb ground beef
1lb Italian sausage (brown them together)
2 cans tomatoes (I like to use fire roasted)
6oz can tomato paste (plus 2 cans water)
3-4TBSP spaghetti seasoning (see below)
or 1 packet store bought spaghetti mix
Parmesan rinds (if I have them)

Slow cook on low 6-7 hours or high 3-4. Serve over noodles, zoodles, spaghetti squash, etc.

Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning:
1TBSP each:
minced dried onion
garlic powder
oregano
dried parsley
2tsp basil
1tsp each:
thyme
salt
1/4tsp red pepper flake (optional)
1TBSP corn starch
Mix and store in airtight container.
I use 2-3 tablespoons to replace one standard packet of store bought spaghetti seasoning mix.

Most of find ourselves in a situation where we just need a few cheap and easy meals to get us through a short term tight-budget situation. Here are 4 new budget meals made from items I shopped for specifically on the day I made them, and I think they’re a little different from the standard “beans & rice” meals. 🙂

The secret that makes this soup so flavorful with limited ingredients is the fully-cooked sausage that simmers with the potatoes as they cook in the crockpot.
2lbs russet potatoes, peeled & chopped
1pkg fully-cooked smoked sausages (I used Italian seasoned chicken sausages)
2 1/2C chicken broth
salt & pepper to taste (I used very little)
(cook on low for 5-6 hours or high 3-4)
When the potatoes are done, stir in 4oz cream cheese & 3/4-1C half & half. Let heat through on low for 20-30 minutes and serve. Optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon, chives, crackers).

For the alfredo chicken I made in the 1st recipe, I will be prepping the chicken the same way. But I will cut the heavy cream in half (1/2C instead of a full cup), and I will use shredded mozzarella instead of fresh next time.
