Not really. I just buy what's on sale. Lately it's been plenty of chicken legs and thighs with rice and homemade teryaki sauce. I can't argue with $.75 per pound.

I try to plan a few really cheap meals once or twice a week (spaghetti and pigs in a blanket type meals) so we can also have lasagna and steaks and stuff. I just bought chicken breast for an insanely low $1.00/lb so that helps.

Hitting $2-3 is really unrealistic but it's my dorky goal. $5-6 average per dinner is easily attainable with my family though.

Finally found some chicken quarters for $0.79/lb.

Pretty happy about it.

Thumbs up. My next experiment is going to be chicken tikka masala. I love cardamom dishes.

I like my steaks on the rare side of medium-rare.

My wife likes her steak done, done, done .. and then sends it back to the kitchen twice more .. until it's literally the size of a playing card .. then asks for ketchup. NO hyperbole.

I no longer take her to a steak house .. ever.

this was leisa too

Gonna make some "Nummy Chicken" for the family.

Take 4-6 boneless chicken breasts and poach them in chicken stock. Drain and shred. Then mix with a 16 oz. sour cream and a family size cream of chicken soup. Put in a 9x13

Melt a cube of butter. Then mix with 1 sleeve of ritz crackers, crushed, and 1 tbs. poppy seeds. Cover the chicken/soup mixture.

Bake until hot.

Serve over egg noodles (buttered and seasoned).

Good as hell. Whole family loves it.

That sounds really good. I'm going to have to try that sometime.

It reminds me of a tuna casserole that I love. You take three cans of tuna and heat it up in a pan with a family size cream of mushroom soup. Add milk to the mixture to thin it out a little or else it will be too thick.

Pour the mixture in a 9 x 13 pan and then add uncooked egg noodles to it. Cover the top with crushed lays wavy potato chips and then bake it.

Try this with drop biscuit batter (make it from scratch if you have time, it's not complicated, or use bisquick) on top instead of the cracker mix. Also try mixing in a frozen veggie mix. Instant pot pie. We used to make this all the time. Lot of ways to tweak it. Love it.

Sounds odd to me using sour cream and cream of chicken in place of chicken stock. Otherwise it sounds like a good, quick idea and something I'll try out.

Using chicken stock would make it much thinner. The dish is creamy not runny. But I am sure you could use chicken stock and tweak this in all sorts of ways like Log said.

I just got some chicken breast for $0.99/lb today at the grocery store.

I was talking about Log's pot pie and not your casserole. I'd like to hear what he thinks on it.

I have seen this with sour cream or without. Chicken stock and cream of mushroom is a nice way to get a better gravy so to speak.
