Meals for teenagers?

Any ideas on something different to make that teenagers will like. We are getting tired of Pizza, tacos, haburger helper, tuna helper, etc. It must also be a rather cheap meal.Meals for teenagers?
Feed them pastas. Their cheap, easy to make, yummy and better for them then tuna helper. There's loads of different ways to cook pastas and a hundred things you can mix in to jazz it up a bit. Spaghetti with a meat sauce (browned chuck mixed in), linguini with a butter and parm with tiny shrimp (bag of little frozen shrimp is usually around $3), or even homemade baked lasagna with spinach.Meals for teenagers?
Something with cheese in it. That always works.

Mac-n-cheese with hotdogs cut up in it... or mac-n-cheese with hamburger in it. they both are pretty good.
We came up with a variation on pizza that my teens love. We cut up refrigerated biscuits into bite sized pieces and mix with pizza sauce, cheese,and pepperoni and then top it with the sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.You can put whatever toppings you like. Make sure you mix in a lot of the sauce or it comes out dry. Then bake according to the biscuit directions.

Try this:


First, boil 3 cups rice($3.50/lg.box) to a wet cooked stage and then spread it out in a baking dish. Add some chicken broth($1.89) to float the rice and Add a can of drained green beans($1.49). Lay out on top of this a package of skinless chicken breats($7.58) and pour over all of it a can of cream of mushroom soup($1.09) and a can of cream of celery soup($1.09). Spice to taste, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 70 minutes. Serve with rolls($2.48). Feeds four to six nicely for under $20.

Do the same with the rice. Float it in the baking dish with orange juice. Add pork chops and the cream of mushroom soup. Cover, bake at 350 for 50 to 70 min. Serve with green beans or other veggie, and rolls. Nice meal for under $20.





For under ten dollars buy a large box of large tea bags and two gallons of bottled drinking water. Stuff 3 large tea bags into the gallon bottles and set in sun for an entire day (or heat on your stove or run it through your coffee maker - whatever) Teenagers will get used to TEA and the withdrawal from colas/pops/sodas will be minimal. You will save a ton of money buy eliminating soft drinks from the diet. Water is needed too. Drinking 72 ounces of water gives the body the impression it just had a meal. It's not as tasty as a double cheeseburger, super fry and a ?diet? cola but it sure is better for you.





Use the jugs over and over with your own water. Makes 7 to 10 gallons of wholesome beverage.
