$10 Dinners part 14

21. Pizza potatoes, jellied salad, garden-fresh greens
Pizza potatoes are easy to make. You start with a "crust" of mashed potatoes. You will want to use a 9x13 pan and put them in 1-1 1/2 inch deep. You can either use leftovers, or make some fresh, or mix from a package. Then you layer on your favorite pizza toppings. You can use tomato sauce if you wish but we usually skip it. Layer on sliced meat or leftover bits of meat, sliced onions, tomatoes, grated cheese, mushrooms. Whatever you have. Then pop it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese and warm the potatoes if they're cold.
Jellied salads aren't our favorite to eat very often but sometimes, especially on a hot day, we enjoy lime salad set with grated carrots in it. Add a bowlful of garden-fresh greens if available.
This yummy meal is very inexpensive, and fills hungry tummies at the same time.
Cost is approximately $7.00-$8.00 depending on toppings and amount of cheese.
