Budget Meal Prep 20 Meals for $20!

*This video is sponsored by BetterHelp.

If you're looking for cheap and easy meals on a budget that will keep you out of the drive thru, you've found the right video! I spent around $20 on a small grocery haul from Walmart, and I prepped 3 tasty, family friendly meals on a budget. In just about an hour, I was able to prepare 3 dinners, plus leftover (about 20 servings in all!) with that $20 budget!

About a month ago we were on the road early in the morning. We stopped at McDonald's for breakfast. The four of us ordered a McGriddle combo meal. Total was 54.00. Never again.

I learned how to make this easy chicken casserole in college and have made it ever since. My family loves it!
Shredded chicken
1 can cream of chicken
1 can cream of mushroom
.5 cup sour cream
Mix together
Top with crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter (or French fried onions)
Great meal to take to someone in need.

3 fabulous meals, with major leftovers for me, for around $20! I cannot thank you enough for doing all the legwork, Mindy.

Extra veggies can be added, extra firm tofu, faux chicken ( Quorn pieces are the best. IMHO. ), spaghetti squash to the spaghetti … you provided a unique and substantial springboard and I can dive right in!

I’m so very grateful for your menu help and video support!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are an angel. You have wings, Mindy!

Perfect timing, watching as I finish up my grocery list and meal plan. Asking y'all to please pray for me. I've had sinus infections off and on the past month and a half, which have been causing severe migraines. I have another sinus infection. I have a CT scan on the 27th of this month and to see a neurologist about the migraines. I'm nervous about the CT scan. I ask y'all to please continue to pray for me. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

I find you very relatable, even though much younger and with children. Very smart lady 🎉

Loved your suggestion of one box rice & one bag frozen cauliflower rice!

Oh Mindy please keep this content coming! I called these cook once eat twice videos. Cooking a protein and using it multiple ways, my absolute favorite content you share!!!

This is why I will ALWAYS watch you, the easy ideas for dinner. ❤❤

I completely agree with you about being careful with the "healthy" label. It really can mean different things to different people and it's SO easy to fall into eating disorders. ALL food is good for energy and pleasure. Understanding how different foods impact our bodies and making choices that help us feel well and strong is key. ❤

Thanks for the printable and I have to tell you I bought the Wal-Mart English muffins and I will try the peanut butter on top with the bananas. I only need 1/2 of a muffin in the morning but great idea from last video! Also bought the penguin cheese crackers and they are great! 😊

[SusanP]

Thanks for the cream soup info, I'm going to try that!

[betterlivingonabudget]

You are such a gem in every way. I always feel inspired on many levels after watching your videos. I love the idea of using half/half real rice / cauli rice, etc to get kids to eat more veg and yet it seems very close to the 'regular' version! Thank you for all that you do, say and share here!

[carolcopley]

Well…yummy. Thank you for the cost friendly AND tasty ideas.

[rebeccanotch]

Definitely agree with you about defining the term "healthy" as being an individual preference. For me, healthy is as simple as eating natural food vs. processed food. I try not to make it more complicated than that because it stresses me out.😅

I ask my Walmart when they put their rotisserie chickens on sale and then stock up then! Take the home, debone and store in freezer bags!

[swetx]

I currently have chicken and rice dish in the oven right now. I used the knorr broccoli cheese rice mix with diced chicken and a few extra cups of broccoli crowns. Sometimes I'll top it with extra cheese but this time I just mixed it in. Great video and great ideas for dinners.

[lisamusil]

These all look yummy! Another option for the chicken is canned. A large can is about 2 bucks.

I'm thankful you are so REAL. I appreciate you so much. Please don't change. ❤

[cynthiamullin]

I REALY like your "healthier" explanation. That's how we do it in our 3 generational household.😊

Love seeing more videos. I look forward to these. Thank you!!
