I’m a mom – I made an easy meal for my family of four costing under $10, but people have mixed opinions
ONE helpful mom has shared her minimal-ingredient dinner recipe for her family of four.
But people had mixed opinions about her under $10 meal.
Gail Gray (@frugalwitheasysolutions) posted a video of the breezy cooking process.
And not only did the finished product feed four hungry mouths, but there were leftovers too.
Gail’s recipe called for a can of diced tomatoes, Italian-style shredded cheese, premium sausage, bowtie pasta, and heavy whipping cream.
The TikTok mom began boiling water for the pasta while she browned the sausage in a saucepan.
She crushed up the diced tomatoes before adding them to the meat.
Her two toddler girls prefer crushed tomatoes, but it’s not pertinent to the dish.
On top of the meat and tomato mixture, Gail sprinkled the shredded cheese.
Once the pasta was cooked, she mixed those in the saucepan as well.
Gail poured the heavy whipping cream as she mixed the ingredients around.
She used “a quarter of a cup” of the cream.
Gail grabbed the lid and let the meal simmer on the stove for about 20 minutes before serving it to her family.
Appreciative parents commented to thank Gail for her suggestion.
“Ooh, I’m going to need to try this. Sweet and simple and looks so good,” one mom admitted.
Another excited parent said: “I made this, and my family loved it. Thank you.”
Though some viewers were impressed, others conveyed skepticism about Gail’s lack of seasoning.
One concerned TikTok user wrote: “No seasoning? None at all?”
“Nope, two out of 10,” a critic remarked.
