Hearty Dinners That Don’t Break the Bank

Succulent Chicken Meatballs

It’s the end of a long autumn day. As the rain pitter-patters outside, you’re ready to cozy up with some warm comfort food. Here are some delicious and easy supper ideas that are sure to keep your family and your bank account full.

While ground beef is usually the focus of budget dinners as a cheaper alternative to… umm… steak? (Nah, can’t compare.) We often forget about other alternatives such as ground chicken or turkey. (Disclaimer: I can’t vouch that these recipes are a good steak alternative, but they are delicious all the same!)

Ground chicken or turkey can be used in the same way as ground beef to change things up a bit.  Try making hamburgers, sloppy joes, or meatballs with ground chicken for a delicious and economical alternative.

Thanks to my mother for some of the recipes featured here. When it comes to Biting the Budget, you’re my inspiration.
