The 99cent store dinner

You can make a great inexpensive dinner almost entirely from the 99cents store for under $10!
Here it is:

Beef Stroganoff Casserole

1lb ground beef $3 (costco)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
8oz fresh mushrooms $1
2tsp minced garlic .10cents
1/4 cup beef broth .20cents
1 can cream of mushroom soup $1
1/2 cup sour cream .50cents
1 tbsp dijon mustard
4 cups cooked egg noodles $1

About $7 total for all ingredients. Reduce your cost even more by making it a vegetarian meal by using more mushrooms in place of ground beef. I purchased all above ingredients except for the ground beef at the 99cent store. You can add frozen vegetables to round out the meal for another $1, or I also found cole slaw mix and salad mix for $1 making your total $8 that will easily feed a family of 4.

Preheat oven to 350. Place beef in skillet and add salt and pepper. Cook over med high heat until brown. Remove beef from skillet and set aside. Add mushrooms, and garlic till mushrooms are tender. Add beef broth, reduce heat to med low for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in soup, sour cream, and mustard. Return beef to skillet. Place noodles in a 13x9 baking dish lightly greased. Pour beef mixture onto noodles and stir until well coated. Bake for 30 minutes.
