This is always a family favorite recipe! It’s fast, easy and budget friendly. Whenever I prepare this meal I make two since 1/2 a bag of meatballs is more than enough for our family. We always have leftovers!
This is a budget friendly meal too. The total grocery bill for two meal kits is $17.32. This makes this meal roughly $8.66 for the family. All prices are pulled from the Walmart Online Grocery App as of November 2019 and do not include coupons or sales. You could easily make this meal for less if you use generic, coupons and shop sales.
