I've thought of the Creamy One Pot Pasta and the Chicken Tortilla Casserole and I know that the new SB has a bunch of them grouped together that are featured as $2.00 or so a serving, but wondering what others there are. There HAS to be more!!! Oh, and the White Chicken Chili is too I think. HELP!!!!!
 
All the recipes from the Power Cooking shows- both beef and chicken
 
HO has really been focused on the $2. Many of the main dishes in the current SBRC fit that category, and ALL of them in the Spring one do.
 
Go to PamperedChef.com - but don't log in. On the bottom right, click Find a New Recipe. Next to Featured Recipe is a little tab under the picture that says Budget Friendly Recipes. They are all there.

You can get to it through CC, but I can't remember exactly now. I imagine if you log in to CC and go to Recipe Search, I think there may be a selection you can choose Budget Friendly somewhere on that page.(?)
