Answer 1

Cheap Go With top Ramen...LOL

Frozen Pizza Works But Do Like Digorno Or Something Good.

Could Do hamburger And Hot Dogs

You Could Do Your Own Hot Pockets Group Style:
Put One Can Of Cresent Rolls On The Bottom
Add Fillings
Put The Next Con Of Rolls On The Top
I Suggest Like 3 Of Those At Least For That Many hungry Girls

Ummm...PB & J Sandwiches Are Always Cheap

Grilled Cheese Is Cheap Too

Could take Potatoes Cut Them In half
Put Them Cut Side Down On Oiled Tin Foiled Cookie Sheet
Slice Them Width Wise (Across Not Down)
Put Butter Or Oil On Top
Add Garlic Powder And Or Onion Powder

I Am Sure You Will Think Of Something Creative

Answer 2

Always an old standby for me, and used in a lot of the classes I work with at the food bank is using lentils. I've had good success with cooking regular hamburger and mixing the lentils into the meat. With great chili seasoning, some chunky stewed tomatoes, green peppers and mushrooms, beans (etc) the lentils blend right in, take on the same colour and texture as the meat and can double or triple the volume of the orginal meat. To make things simpler for you, I would look at the amount of hamburger you have, then take about 1/3 -1/2 that amount of dry lentils. Let them boil in a separate saucepan until tender - about 10-12 minutes, then drain them and stir into the hamburger. Then proceed as you would normally do for chili.

Lentils are a super food: no fat, high fiber, good flavour, and inexpensive. The red ones cook in about 10 minutes so these are the easiest to use. The green or brown take 20-30 minutes, and are just as tasty, but do not blend as well into some foods. They are great on their own too.

Answer 3

Get some dinner rolls (about $0.79 a dozen at super market) some thin sliced lunch meats (Buntin I think their called) slice up some cheese set out mayo and musard don't forget the chips

Answer 4

Here we go with Spaghetti. Do you know who doesn't like spaghetti? You could make two varieties. One with chicken and one with hamburger meat. Use white sauce for chicken one and red sauce for hamburger meat one.

Make a huge salad using every ingredient you like. Spaghetti and salad go well together.

Don't forget the garlic bread.

Have a great party.

Answer 5

Here are some ideas, or things I would do:

Get a bunch of frozen pizzas (cheaper than ordering)

Make a huge pot of spaghetti!

Have a pot-luck party. Everybody bring a dish!

Answer 6

You could make mini sandwiches like about 1/4 of a regular sandwich and make alot of them. Then you could get some fruit and make some soup then there u go! A healthy meal for a bunch of teens. You can also get crackers and crab dip!

Answer 7

Spaghetti makes a lot but is really cheap to buy. Just add pasta sauce and voila!

Answer 8

best way to go..... P A S T A !!! Macaroni & Meatballs ! !

Spaghetti, Penne, Rigatoni, any type you wish. If you need more, just boil water.

If you want a sauce recipe, I got one of those, too!!

Answer 9

I WOULD HAVE MAYBE: PIZZA ROLLS---- AS APPETIZERS, and SPAGETTI W/MEATBALLS and a BIG SALAD, and ITALIAN BREAD. OR , MAKE THINGS MORE FUN HAVING YOUR GUESTS BRING SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD FOR THE PARTY, (that would let them feel apart of making the party special--- make them feel at more at home). ENJOY!!!!!!!!
