Roots of a Southern Kitchen

Budget Bites Series

The prices on these meals will, of course, depend on where you live and what store you shop in, but they surely won’t break the bank! Also, I am choosing not to include things like seasonings and essentials like butter and oil for cooking because I assume most people have these things in their home!

*Prices are all from Walmart, but will vary depending on what store you shop at. Most meals will serve 4.*

Ingredients:

• 1 box bowtie pasta- $0.98
• 2 jars pasta sauce- $1.48 each
• 1 pack pepperoni- $2.58
• 1/2 container parmesan cheese ($2.98 per bottle)- $1.49
• Seasonings of choice!

Steps:

1. Cook pasta until almost tender.
2. Combine all ingredients in casserole dish and bake at 350 for 20 min or until heated through.

Only $8.01 for this meal!

*If you’ve got a couple extra bucks to spare, consider adding some shredded mozzarella on top of this dish for that perfect cheesy pull!*
