Parents, Tell Me Your Signature "Cheap And Easy" Family Meal

It is reported that the first cookbook on record was four clay tablets from 1700 BC in Ancient Mesopotamia. People have always loved following an excellent recipe to create a knockout dish, but sometimes, our pockets don't like it as much.

I feel like parents have always found a way to make cheap meals for every mouth at the dinner table; meals that are as delicious as they are easy to prep.

So, parents of the BuzzFeed Community: What's your go-to meal that feeds the whole house without spending too much cash? Tell me all your money-saving meal strategies!

For example, maybe you make a killer buffalo mac 'n' cheese that keeps your loved ones going for seconds.

Or, maybe you're utilizing appetizers as a main course by having everyone fill themselves with delicious baked potatoes.

Perhaps you are too tired from work and WRAP your day with...wraps? If you want a cheap meal, quesadillas are where it's at. This way, you can let each family member pick their cheap toppings or fillings.

Whatever it is, tell me about your cheap meals in the comments below, and your response could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed post! If you prefer to stay anonymous, fill out this Google form here.

If you have an existing recipe that you follow, drop the link below. Otherwise, feel free to tell us the ingredients required and how you put it all together.
