It's always hard to google some decently priced dinners for a family of 8.

Anyone have some inexpensive ideas? Other than the usual like hamburgers, shake n bake pork chops.
Something with some flavor to it but nothing spicy!

kebabs
Veggies/Fruit: onion, bell pepper, mushroom, tomato, pineapple, garlic, zucchini
Meat: cubed up beef, chicken or shrimp mostly. i have done pork and other seafood such as scallops, or a firm fish.


fajitas
Veggies: onion, bell pepper
Meat: chicken, beef, shrimp, pork cut into strips
Condiments: salsa, cheese, guac, sour cream, shredded lettuce


Stir Fry
Veggies: garlic, ginger, broccoli, sugar snap peas, bell peppers, mushrooms, baby carrots, water chestnuts
Meat: chicken or steak
served over noodles or rice


Grilled hot ham and cheese with tomato soup
super simple, choose a bread, choose a cheese and get some deli ham.
get some tomato soup, i add some basil, red wine and a little bit of cream to mine.



Shephard’s Pie
look up a recipe, easy to make, filling and i love it


lasagna
once again, look it up, it dosent take long to make



baked mac and cheese with bacon or cubed ham


brinner, yep breakfast for dinner. eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, hashbrowns, fried taters, french toast, waffles what ever combo of these items you want

I make this pretty often, even for smaller groups because the leftovers are still awesome.

I make a few changes, notably julienne baby cut carrots, add yellow pepper, I use almost a whole 8 cup bag of shredded mozzarella, and quadruple the garlic.

/e I should add, I am a subscriber to the notion that salad/vegetables are what food eats. That doesn't change the fact that this recipe is really good.
