Notes & Tips
This one costs about $1.50 per serving and uses ingredients most people already have. Ground beef, a box of macaroni, some pantry condiments, and a handful of shredded cheese — that's it. If you want to stretch it further, use 12 oz of pasta and bump the broth to 3.5 cups. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
