Meatball 'subs' with Cajun potatoes
Meatball 'subs'
1lb frozen meatballs**
1 can (or jar) spaghetti sauce***
1 eight pack of hot dog buns
5 potatoes
3tbs oil
1tbs Cajun seasoning (more of less, to taste)
Directions
Add 3tbs of oil, and 1tbs of Cajun seasoning to a bowl and mix.
Preheat oven to 350(f). Dice the potatoes into desired size. Add potatoes the bowl, mix well to coat. Add to a glass baking pan and pop it unto the oven. Cook until desired doneness (for us, it is usually 20-25 minutes)
While those are cooking, add the sauce and meatballs to a pot, cover and cook until done.
Serve meatballs in the hot dog buns, and enjoy.
Meatballs $1.99
Potatoes $0.50
Sauce $1.00
Buns $0.89
$4.39
**If Ground beef is cheaper than buying frozen meatballs where you live, then by all means make them home made instead. Currently where I am ground beef runs over $3.50 a pound, making buying them frozen a better deal.
*** Same as above. If you can buy the ingredients to make a sauce for cheaper than buying it premade, do so! It is better for you, and cheaper. For me though? Right now a dollar can is cheaper than buying tomatoes, or buying a can of crushed tomatoes.
