Here is a classic dish that everyone should know how to make. It is a cheap and easy dinner that is very filling. It’s perfect for a tight budget family, which, unfortunately, is most Americans during this year of mandates. But on a brighter note, this recipe is also delicious! Who said cheap food couldn’t taste good? Not this lady. I’m all about cheap and easy. Take a look at this recipe and let me know how you like it. I plan on making it again real soon. This will be a staple in my recipe box.
