Week 46 Challenge- a budget meal

With our regular meals, I try to keep to an average of $10 meat per meal to feel our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. With the challenge for this week being "a budget meal" I decided to try and make the whole main course for as close to $10 as I could, including meat.

I found a Destitute Gourmet recipe for Peanut Pork and Rice. This recipe also happened to be a one pot meal, where everything is cooked together, which is always a bonus when it comes to cleaning up afterwards.

I think the total of ingredients added up to $11.47, which fed us all plenty, and there was enough left over for Kyla to take in her lunch the next day. Having garlic, courgette and beans from our garden certainly helped to keep the total cost down.

We would give this a 4/5 and I will certainly make it again.
