Family Favorite BUDGET FRIENDY Recipe!

I am sharing a family favorite recipe that happens to be a very budget friendly. It costs less than $1.00 per person to make this.

I am wrapping up my cook book, and much like a lot of things in my life this book as well as this recipe in particular happened out of pure accident.

This particular recipe was created out of necessity as I remember clearly that I quite literally had about $5.00 which I had procured in tips waiting tables for the night, working the graveyard shift at a 24 hour cafe.

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends have.
