      Hi Maureen,

      I always price my recipes for myself - I need to know they are within my grocery budget.

      This casserole will cost you around $8.75 to make and it makes 6 huge servings or 8 normal servings.

      That is using all bought ingredients. It will cost a lot less if the veggies are from the garden, around $5.50.

      Buy your meat on sale and get the cheapest stewing meat you can to keep the cost low. With long, slow cooking chuck or stewing steak will be tender and tasty, and inexpensive.
