I have no idea who will want this but quick tip. If you use the metal strainer she has. Press your spinach in it with a bowl on the bottom of the strainer to collect the juice. Take the juice and add it to ice cube tray then use the cubes in green smoothies! Might not taste exactly like spinach but it's added nutrition for the smoothie 👍
Been watching her for a while. Love a lot of the recipes and we have made them mostly successful. I swear she's just the sweetest thing and so talented at what she does.
Thanks for thinking outside of the box, sharing the nutrition facts, budget friendly-meals, giving your honest opinion on taste, and the variation ideas. Loved it! Gonna try all of these recipes.
I am a big pizza person. I am usually in a hurry and I normally use a Walmart or Aldi's pizza as my base. But I discovered a great cheese blend that you might want to try. I use Swiss, Cheddar, and provolone. I take blocks and put them in my food processor to save time on using my grater. I def have to try some of your ideas out!
So cute. This first video was your first time using dollar tree ingredients... love that this first video has made you into all things dollar tree dinners guru!!..
Starting to marathon your videos to boost my morale with a tight food budget. Excited to try these when I empty out my pantry a bit more as a reward. I LOVE pizza and for some reason didn't even think about making different pizzas to give those special feels that would be a $20 outing
I have never seen frozen soinach at my Dollar Tree. We do have the meatballs, however and even though the Lakeview cheese has gotten smaller in the last year, it is actually some of my favorite cheese. I bought some Monterrey Jack at the grocery store, to compare, and the Lakeview had a better taste.
Whenever I subscribe to a new TH-cam channel, I like to watch the creator’s very first video. You inspire me to be more creative and strategic with my meal planning. And also I am now interested in cooking for seniors so I’m going to look into that here in Colorado ☺️
That spinach Alfredo Pizza looks really good! I've been curious about how the dollar tree pizza crusts taste but haven't had the chance to try them yet.
I made 2 flavors on 1 of the large pizza crusts from dollar tree. Half was chicken bacon ham Alfredo pizza and the other one was pepperoni and ham bacon mushroom pizza. They were both really good. I did get a few things at Walmart but most at dollar tree
@@DollarTreeDinners I love your videos and girl you seem like the sweetest ! I am trying to get caught up on all your previous videos, you certainly have given me some great ideas 💕
A lot of pizza places use sliced or diced mozz but any softer cheese shreds easier if you freeze it for an HR or so.. even cheddar shreds easier with a quick trip to the chill chest. I think that alfredo sauce and spinach would make an awesome dip if it was just a little thicker, maybe with some sour cream and extra Parmesan cheese.. can you ever have too much parmesan?
I really enjoy watching this after seeing your most recent videos. This was really good. You have grown so much in your presentation style. (Can you tell I’m a teacher?!) also, I really appreciate that you no longer include calorie information. Bravo
Hi Rebecca, I jumped into the wayback machine and started watching your content from the beginning. Since you did season and fry the frozen veggies I was asking myself why you didn't do the same with the canned mushrooms. If you fry mushrooms in butter, add any needed salt and or pepper and an herb to combine with your dish (anything will do, parsley, paprika, thyme, oregano, rosemary, whatever you like best, just a pinch) you'll find your final dish will be improved by this little detour. Italy Spain and Mexico share a lot of the same herbs and spices...to turn an italian meatball into a mexican one I'd just add some chili powder (cumin coriander and chilies) Enjoyed the video say Hi to michael and see you all in the next one Jim
I'm sitting in a hotel in Tijuana as I watch this, about to return home from getting a gastric bypass done at Mexico Bariatric Center. Videos like this are a big help for me, because I like seeing what other people who've gotten gastric surgery are now able to eat. Keep 'em coming, Rebecca! :)
Hi Allison! I had it in Tijuana MX at Mexico bariatric center with Dr Valenzuela. Most of my old videos are private but if you are interested here is a link to my surgery day vlog th-cam.com/video/kIiMndPLh_A/w-d-xo.html
Caseys has a salsa bean mix that they line the bottom with and then put beef before they put it in the oven. On their taco pizza and then put the toppings on it after that
With BBQ pizzas, I find if you spread a thin layer of the BBQ sauce and then top it with the toppings and cheese it tastes better than mixing the toppings in the BBQ sauce. You can always dip your slice in BBQ or drizzle more on your slice if you want more, but if there's too much to start it's hard to get past.
Taco pizza at Casey's, mix refried beans with some taco sauce, spread onto crust, add beef and onions and top with mozzarella. Bake and then put cheddar cheese first, lettuce, tomato, small amount of cheddar again and then some crushed Doritos.
Hi, new here. I never knew Dollar Tree sold thin crust pizza dough! Also Im pretty much old style when it comes to pizza. The spinach mushroom Alfredo one looked delicious. I know it wasn't your favorite but I like a lot of garlic so I'm sure for me that would be the trick. The Mac n cheese made me gag!
I have a cheese grater attachment for my kitchen aid but I don’t use it for most videos as it makes my content more accessible for folks who can’t afford to splurge on the convenience of a fancy cheese grater :)
Tip for making frozen meatballs more ground beef-like: take the extra time to microwave them to par cook them and instead of chopping them, put them in a bowl and use a mix n chop to break them up vs dicing them so the texture is more uniform to ground beef.
You are making more work for yourself with the spinach defrost in microwave and use the strainer and run cool water then squeeze by hand :) saves on laundry ;)
I wish my dollar trees had more food items they have a ton of snacks and candy but food OT really they do have a freezer section but mostly TV dinners I do buy the frozen fruit because it’s a great deal. I normally pay $3 for the same exact thing so it saves me like $4/wk may not sound like a lot but that’s $208 a year saved
My store has 3pcs of real bacon in the refrigerator section instead of using bacon . Bits for the first pizza you made .. I'm not sure if yours in your area has bacon in your refrigerator section though . For the 2nd pizza I add garlic powder addedv a can of dollar tree chicken after I sauteed it and add it to the 2nd pizza ,
I think that one thing we tend to do is put too much sauce on pizza. My kids went to Italy and they said there were very minimal toppings, particularly sauce, on the pizzas and they really loved it. Working with the dollar tree ingredients, you’re going to have some hits and this is just because of that fact. Sometimes there’s no difference in the ingredients and sometimes there’s a huge difference. I moved overseas and learned how many variations of cheddar and mozzarella there truly are. FYI, I do not like mozzarella that’s made here in Arabia. There is also a lot of faux cheese. They are not so good about warning you when they’re giving you fake cheese whether you’re ordering it from the grocery store or on a pizza.😬. I am not a cheese snob, but I am a cheese lover and not all cheeses are created equal.
I am a relatively new subscriber and have watched several of your videos. I decided to go back and watch your earliest videos, and this is the first time I have seen you give the calorie counts for the recipes. I wish that you would do that every time, I am counting calories and it would be great to know. Thanks!
I know some people get on and act like it's just the gross but it's not you can find some really nice brands and no name brand items at Dollar tree and it's just as good as sometimes it's even better anytime I decide if I just want to a basic pizza maybe I'll go to the freezer and buy one of the small Selena's pizzas or something like the name brand pizza and just add some extra pepperoni or something to it or some cheese I had no problem you know it's it's not a Pizza Hut pizza and it's not a Domino's I mean but it's still decent I like it I like it I don't mind
thanks for the ideas! id love to see a "progressive" challenge where you take dollar tree items like the ,mac and cheeze or a taco kit and split it up to make 2 meals from one type of meal box kit
Bac'n bits are actually vegan. Sorry if you have heard that 1000 times but a vegetarian cannot have the mac n cheese pizza, but the culprit is the boxed Velveeta, not the bac'n bits
@@carolyndetemple actually look it up. The little hard crunchy ones from a shaker that you get at dollar tree are not real bacon. They are vegan and vegetarians can have vegan things
@@carolyndetemple straight from the McCormick website, here is the ingredients list of Bac'n Bits: Texturized Soy Flour, Canola Oil, Salt, Caramel Color, Yeast Extract, Natural & Artificial Flavor, FD&C Red 40 & Disodium Inosinate and Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers). Please let me know which of those ingredients is not vegan. Oops, they all are
I'm pizza - conservative lol, and my only thing ist here are too many toppings. I'd for example to a jalapeno - mozzarella pizza but not with the mac and cheese as well on top...
i used to love cee cee's pizza before they closed down in my area. when they would say cee cee you real soon as you were leaving used to crack us up every time.
I have no idea who will want this but quick tip. If you use the metal strainer she has. Press your spinach in it with a bowl on the bottom of the strainer to collect the juice. Take the juice and add it to ice cube tray then use the cubes in green smoothies! Might not taste exactly like spinach but it's added nutrition for the smoothie 👍
Wow. I have been watching her for almost a year now,
BUT never saw this one.
I like this!
😊
Yes❤
I love how much more confident you are now! Great to see how far you’ve come
Haha I haven’t watched this in over a year I’d be nervous to see how awkward I used to be 😂
Top that taco pizza with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and drizzle with hot sauce mixed with sour cream. HEAVENLY!
I'm impressed. Those are really fancy ideas and from the Dollar Tree?!!? Good job.
Thanks so much!!
Been watching her for a while. Love a lot of the recipes and we have made them mostly successful. I swear she's just the sweetest thing and so talented at what she does.
The best part of all this for me is not having to make any pizza dough, so that ready made dough is great.
Dollar Tree pizza crusts are amazing!
I like how honest you are in your taste tests. I made the taco pizza with vegan meatballs and it was a big hit!
That's so awesome! I'm glad it was a hit!
I’ve been watching you for your entire journey and how have I not seen this?! You’re one of my fav TikTokers and now TH-camrs! I love youuu!

Pretty amazing actually. Whodathunk!?
Spice up the Alfredo with chili flakes! A little goes a long way! It would be great on all of them😊 oh also try artichoke with the Alfredo!
I just really started looking at your channel, so this is the first time I've seen this video and honestly, those pizzas are brilliant.
Starting to marathon your videos to boost my morale with a tight food budget. Excited to try these when I empty out my pantry a bit more as a reward. I LOVE pizza and for some reason didn't even think about making different pizzas to give those special feels that would be a $20 outing
Some canned artichokes would be awesome on the spinach alfredo pizza
FYI.....in the "taco pizza" I would have added some Taco Seasoning in with the meat and salsa mixture 😊
I absolutely love that pizza crust.
I have never seen frozen soinach at my Dollar Tree.

I loved CiCi pizza. It was always busy. It left some years ago. It was nice while it lasted. I will be making these pizzas.Thanks so much. 🍕
So I just recently found your channel and I have to say you make this food look so appetizing! I now want to try making different pizzas
Impressed by your Torani syrup collection!
That’s what I was thinking!😂
That spinach Alfredo Pizza looks really good! I've been curious about how the dollar tree pizza crusts taste but haven't had the chance to try them yet.
The alfredo sauce is bland it needs salt, pepper and maybe garlic.
@stac1126 good to know - I bet I could toast some garlic and put it on top to really boost the flavor 😋 Thanks for the heads up!
I made 2 flavors on 1 of the large pizza crusts from dollar tree. Half was chicken bacon ham Alfredo pizza and the other one was pepperoni and ham bacon mushroom pizza. They were both really good. I did get a few things at Walmart but most at dollar tree
I’m just seeing this 😂 I love these ideas!
The cheese melt on these is so nice! These all look delicious and easy!
aww your first video using DT foods !!!!!!!!!!!
haha yep! Crazy how time flies :) I love watching this one, it wasn't as bad or awkward as I thought it was

I love mushrooms that spinach Alfredo pizza looks great
Thanks for the ideas, I might have to try the Mac n cheese pizza with my grandkids!
Kids love it!
I’ll have to try making pizza from dollar tree!! Also add cream cheese next time to the spinach and Alfredo!! Might help with the flavor.
I really enjoy watching this after seeing your most recent videos. This was really good. You have grown so much in your presentation style. (Can you tell I’m a teacher?!) also, I really appreciate that you no longer include calorie information. Bravo

Thanks Brooker! My surgery was 3 years ago and I pretty much eat totally normal 😅 still maintaining the loss!

Good job...thanks Rebecca🍕🍕🍕
Also, watching your earlier videos...mac and cheese pizza looks so cute and delicious!❤
Great ideas
Thanks for the content!
I'm going to have to try those crusts. The ones at the regular groery store are pretty pricey.
I love your ideas. Thank you so much.
Love these types of videos
All 4 looked so yummy 😋
Really creative ideas. Thanks for posting this.

I finally bought everything and will work on making these pizzas this week 😅❤
Taco pizza at Casey's, mix refried beans with some taco sauce, spread onto crust, add beef and onions and top with mozzarella. Bake and then put cheddar cheese first, lettuce, tomato, small amount of cheddar again and then some crushed Doritos.
I always undercook my pasta by a couple minutes on the box, always a nice al dente❤
The taco pizza looks good!

You need one of those hand-crank graters. They shred the DT cheese perfectly.
I have a cheese grater attachment for my kitchen aid but I don’t use it for most videos as it makes my content more accessible for folks who can’t afford to splurge on the convenience of a fancy cheese grater :)

You are making more work for yourself with the spinach defrost in microwave and use the strainer and run cool water then squeeze by hand :) saves on laundry ;)
I wonder if you could fold it in half and make a Stromboli? Maybe your pepper blend, chicken, hot sauce, and cheese.
I love your videos!
U think Mayne for the taco pizza you could use taco seasoning on the meatballs bs the salsa. Or in addition.
BbQ chicken pizza is one of my favorites
Did you ever make something with Knorr rice chicken and a can of Chicken ala king? 2:31
Delightful
I like your vid's :)

If you made the mac n cheese one now you could use the jalapeño chedder cheeto Mac n cheese on it
❤️
Need to freeze the cheese then grated it!!
Inspired by your cooking ideas thank you god bless 🙏✝️

So you only get mozzarella cheese on the Cici's version??
3rd degree cheese burns are a common occurrence when eating pizza so wear your wounds with pride 🍕
and what was the price for each pizza? i hope you prices per serving to the future videos
I haven't seen u make anything yet that wasn't appealing. Awesome
Freeze your block cheese before shredding it 😉
Seems like some crunchy bacon bits would be good with the Alfredo pizza.
I know some people get on and act like it's just the gross but it's not you can find some really nice brands and no name brand items at Dollar tree and it's just as good as sometimes it's even better anytime I decide if I just want to a basic pizza maybe I'll go to the freezer and buy one of the small Selena's pizzas or something like the name brand pizza and just add some extra pepperoni or something to it or some cheese I had no problem you know it's it's not a Pizza Hut pizza and it's not a Domino's I mean but it's still decent I like it I like it I don't mind
What does the pizza crust taste like? Is it really hard 🙄
thanks for the ideas! id love to see a "progressive" challenge where you take dollar tree items like the ,mac and cheeze or a taco kit and split it up to make 2 meals from one type of meal box kit
I can definitely do that!!
Another possibility would be a chicken taco pizza. My Dollar General has canned chicken.
Freeze it then grate it
Rebecca, I think if you would have kept the spinach raw the pizza would have been better. The spinach gets lost in the sauce.
Should have sauted spinach with the mushroom eliminated moisture in spinach

i used to love cee cee's pizza before they closed down in my area. when they would say cee cee you real soon as you were leaving used to crack us up every time.
try freezing your cheese or partiality freezing it
Fun fact: those type of bacon bits are usually actually meatless.
Doesn't $$$$ Tree now sell pizza for $4 & $5?
Not all Dollar Tree's have those sections yet. Mine doesn't, everything is still $1.25.
