For the lasagna, if you get the small ground sausage roll from Dollar Tree, or something similar u could add meat to the sauce. That would make it a more complete lasagna. These are all great ideas though. I'm not currently struggling w my income enough to have to extreme budget, but I think your ideas are amazing and follow them often. I'm not currently struggling (i have in the past when i was a young single Mom to 2 kids..no child support .. There were nights i had to count my change to buy something from the Dollar Tree to feed us until i got paid again. My parents often helped buy me groceries when they found out also. Kids never noticed they said bc i tried to hide the struggle from them) I'm married now & basic middle class w a ton of bills... everyone can be inspired by these videos. Great job 👏 👍
Great idea! And, you can keep the price down by getting the cheese at a lower price elsewhere. The DT cheese comes out to $5lb and I usually pay $3 but have seen it at $2.50. This allows the DT sausage but keeps the price at $6.25. And, cheese can be frozen, especially when it will be melted.
I prefer no meat in my lasagna. 🤷 Not everything needs to have dead animals in it. And, no, I'm not vegan. I just can't understand the obsession with meat.
For the jambalaya I usually do kielbasa instead of hot dogs and don't judge me but I have some apple sauce on the side to go with it. Don't knock it until you try it!!
None of my local grocery stores carry the convenience frozen vegetables like sliced onions and green peppers, so I stock up at DT whenever I’m in the states. I’m happy with the quality and value.
All of these look great! If you microwave your peppers for 30 seconds to a minute it will decrease your skillet time, less water run off. Another winning video!
We don’t eat meat so when I make something like the jambalaya, I just add a can of rinsed kidney beans after the mix has cooked and it’s good. I think the ravioli from the Tree is one of the best bargains in the store…your meal with it looked great!
Definitely going to have to watch more of your videos. Going through an... interesting time in life, so I'll probably be stuck on Dollar Tree meals for a short while. Though I'll probably have to adapt some of your recipies for the microwave rather than the oven cuz I don't like oven cooking. lol
Thank you! I made the "KFC" bowls. I have lettuce at home so we all had a little salad on the side and because I have bread butter and honey I'm a little fake biscuits. It was definitely a hit with my kiddo.
I made the lazy lasagna today! After watching your video, I realized I should have thawed it out instead of baking it straight from frozen. It tasted good but was a little dry. I think I coulda have added more sauce to it!! It was definitely fun to make!
I made your lasagna too and it was wonderful as well. We only have two older adults and a 15 yr old to feed so these recipes don’t break the bank or make more than we can eat. I’ve learned so many tips from you. Thank you. Love your content!
You never had that before,the recipe has been out there for years, you can even do one layer if your by yourself to save yourself some money! I did it in tortellini not all that long ago, and, I used ground Italian Sausage, but, since, I only did one layer of stuffed pasta, I used a carton of extra ricotta to make it good and creamy! And, yes, I topped it with Italian blend cheese! 0:11
I bought some of the John Morrell sausage. It’s basically two big hot dogs. Tastes good. I bought a bag of the frozen peppers and it was a generous amount. Tastes fine too.
The seasoning is usually in big chunks, even though it's in with the rice. Dump it all out in a colander over a large bowl, pick out the seasoning chunks, and shake the colander to get any loose spices out. Save the spices, and add during cooking after tasting to see if it's ok for the kids.
Nice recipes! This is random, but it looks like you have quartz countertops? You should avoid putting hot pots directly on quartz counters- it can leave burn marks.
You're the smart cook, all America needs. This is one's only hope ever: See Romans 10:9-13 and 1 Cor.15:3,4 and Psalm 22:16 & Isaiah chpt.53 (even in the Jewish bible). After salvation see Matt.10:28 and Mark 12:30,31 auth.kjv bible only.
Rebecca, I mean what I'm about to say with all love, respect and sincerity. I wondering if, maybe you perhaps you might reconsider wearing that satanic shirt you had on near the end of the video for the lasagna recipe in the future? It's more than likely just a shirt to you, but for the Christians in your audience, it's deeply disheartening to see. You're more than entitled to your beliefs and I have no intention of clubbing you over the head with a Bible, but in the interests of being respectful to everyone in your audience (including those who follow Jesus), I genuinely hope you would be willing to maybe not wear that when recording. Your videos are an invaluable resource to so many and you are a darling person for reaching out to care for others in need! It is an honor to be part of your audience and I would be truly devastated (as would many others, I imagine) to potentially lose access to your content because of a religious/spiritual affiliation that we simply cannot ignore. I hope I don't come off as being a "Karen" or trying to force my beliefs on you because that is absolutely not my intention. But could we perhaps focus on keeping this space abour the love of food and good deals instead of religion? It would mean so much if you would at least consider what I've said. And thank you again for your service to those who desperately need these ideas and information to get by. ❤
"But could we perhaps focus on keeping this space about the love of food and good deals instead of religion? " you just made it about religion with that comment, let her wear what she wants to wear. just pretend you dont see her shirt and move on. shes making good content and helping folks out with these budget friendly meals. the average person doesnt even care about her shirt, they are focused on the meals. you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Saw your video on TikTok, and am obsessed with all the stuff you can make from DT. It’s amazing to see the stuff you can make especially on a budget.
For the lasagna, if you get the small ground sausage roll from Dollar Tree, or something similar u could add meat to the sauce. That would make it a more complete lasagna.

I love how easy a d low effort your meal ideas are. I always get overwhelmed with the number of steps and I like how few steps you use!
For the jambalaya I usually do kielbasa instead of hot dogs and don't judge me but I have some apple sauce on the side to go with it. Don't knock it until you try it!!
These recipes are genius! I had never thought to use chicken tenders to make chicken Parmesan. What a fun idea.
Lady go head... looks delicious 😋 , very creative, thanks for sharing 👍

Maaan. I have a discount grocery store right next to the Dollar Tree. I am just seeing the possibilities opening up!
We don’t eat meat so when I make something like the jambalaya, I just add a can of rinsed kidney beans after the mix has cooked and it’s good.
I think the ravioli from the Tree is one of the best bargains in the store…your meal with it looked great!
Love the ravioli lasagna, but it's crying out for some spinach between the layers.♥
Cool thanks for sharing
Fabulous! So obsessed with your ideas.

I have done the lazy lasagna a few weeks ago after watching this channel. One of my favs!
I made your Cajun Rice Skillet tonight. It tastes really good. I bet it would be good with the DT frozen shrimp as well. Thanks for your recipes.

I did this with knor chicken rice and the twin pk of smoked sausages both ways are so good 👍👍👍❤❤❤❤ I appreciate you for taking the time to share this
You are saving lives! Thank you for this video!

Ravioli = lasagna ..... That's pretty genius.
That's what I thought too.😊

I love how much they’ve been expanding their frozen food selection recently!
This came up and i just had to watch. I miss that jar sauce so much. My freezer sections seem to focus on the higher price point foods. Tfs
I made the Cajun rice and it is so good. I did add hot sauce to my bowl though😊 Will be making this often because it tastes great and makes a lot.😊
So good! My DT hasn't sold the rice in a long time :(
Wow! You are so gorgeous!!!
I made the jambalaya skillet, it was very flavorful and filling! Yum! 😋
You always have more things that I want to try. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Yep gotta try these I like the rice one and the mashed potato bowl great budget 👍
Wow, you really have good ideas. Who knew all of that food came from Dollar Tree.
I love u and ur videos. Super helpful. I wondered if you could do thanksgiving meals?
Of course!
@@DollarTreeDinners Ooooooo!! Thanksgiving dinner done in her style would ROCK!!! ٩(^◡^)۶
They look delicious.
Another excellent video
Great ideas for the ones who want to save :D
U are amazing thank you for DT dinner channel
I can't wait to try the Cajun skillet!
Awesome and super creative 😮❤
That lasagna looks incredible. I would have popped a dollar more for black olives, though. I am a fiend for black olive. ;)
What band shirt are you wearing at the end?
Nice 👍 job. ❤❤❤
I miss your blonde hair!!! It suits you so well
I made your mock Shepard’s pie and it was a hit with my family as well as your poor man’s meal. Delicious and didn’t break the bank
Is the jambalaya mix spicy? Just wanting to know because my young kids would be eating this, and they think black pepper is spicy😂
The seasoning is usually in big chunks, even though it's in with the rice. Dump it all out in a colander over a large bowl, pick out the seasoning chunks, and shake the colander to get any loose spices out. Save the spices, and add during cooking after tasting to see if it's ok for the kids.

Dollar Tree sells chicken nuggets?
3:55 is that a deathbat tat?
More or less yes :) it’s a skull and batwings but I wasn’t thinking of a7x when I asked for it haha
@@DollarTreeDinners it's badass nonetheless!
You use Penne? Why? Use Dimes... May Cost more but No Copper Taste...
Yeah, know... Lame!
Most of the ingredients the dollar tree no longer have
Right..i miss that sauce and chicken nuggets like that r $5.
That shirr at the end 😢
I agree 😕
