Chili is always good. Maybe a la$agna or spaghetti dish. Noodle salads are inexpensive, or mac and cheese. Stuffed peppers can be made with rice and ground turkey. Here, chicken thighs are on sale, a big pkg baked with BBQ or herbed might fit the bill. Meatloaf can be cost effective too. Good Luck! I'm sure you'll find some idea that works!
