 In this video, I am making $5 dinners for five nights. Now you guys tend to really like my $5 dinners. It's just a matter of finding recipes that stick to $5 and today I think I did it. So the first recipe I'm making is our French bread pizza, but I also have a side dish in this $5 dinner and we're going to make some honey roasted carrots. All right, so we're going to pull out one loaf of our French bread and just cut it right in half. Next you're going to take your pizza sauce and just put it right on top of your French bread. Then you're going to shred your mozzarella cheese and then we're going to cover the French bread with it. Then you're going to cook it for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Once the cheese has melted and they're pretty crispy on the outside, you can just pull it all out. Pizza is delicious, but I also love having a yummy side dish with it. So these carrots were only a dollar and we are going to roast them up. So we're going to pour it onto a sheet pan. Then I'm just going to add a little bit of olive oil, mix that around with my spatula. You kind of want, you want oil all over each carrot. Then we're going to add some garlic salt. I know that sounds funny because these are honey roasted carrots, but garlic salt with the honey is delicious. So we're just going to do garlic salt first and cook it just like this after we mix it of course. So we're going to bake it at 400 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes until your carrots are soft. Okay when the carrots are nice and cooked and soft, I'm just going to scrape them off the bottom and put them all into one corner. Now you can eat them just like this, but I love to add honey onto them. So while it's hot, then just drizzle on some honey and you're just going to cut up your pizza and serve it with your honey roasted carrots. All right, pizza. Of course, the carrots. My kids love these. We have these at least once a week. The next recipe is our loaded baked potato. So I have four potatoes here because that will feed six of us. These are pretty decent sized potatoes. Putting them in my instant pot, then we're going to add one cup of water. I'm going to put the lid on. Make sure if you have this little knob, it's on ceiling, not venting. Then we're going to push pressure cook and go to 20 minutes. All right, we let all the pressure out. Baked potatoes are cooked all the way through. They look so good. So now we're just going to cut the potato right in half. Now usually I would just do normal chili on my potatoes, but they didn't have normal chili at the store. They only had chili mac. So that's what we're going to try today. We're going to see how it tastes. We're just going to warm this up in the microwave. Hey, then you're going to add your chili or in my case, chili mac today. And then the recipe calls for a little bit of cheddar cheese and we're just putting it right on top. Okay. Loaded potatoes. We're going to pretend that this is just normal chili, not the chili mac. I didn't get any noodles in there. This one, we're going to do a five out of five if you use normal chili. My next $5 dinner is taco soup. Now I wanted to make this as easy and as cheap as possible. So this recipe, you actually get beans, corn, rice and red peppers. So we're just going to cook these for our taco soup. So I bought two bags of these and it does have some seasoning and flavor in there. But just in case, we are going to add another taco seasoning and dump that right in. Then we're going to add four cups of water. Okay. We're going to mix this just a little bit. Then we're going to let it simmer and make sure everything is cooked all the way through and then it should be ready to serve. All right. The taco soup is done. Rice is cooked. Everything's cooked. It looks really good. So for this recipe, we have a little bit left over cheese. We're going to shred a little bit of our cheddar cheese and then you can just put that right on top. Part of our $5 dinners is another loaf of french bread. So we're actually going to use half of this loaf for something else and we're going to use this half to dip into the soup. So it's just a little bit more filling than just soup itself. Now you can put butter on this with garlic salt or you can just dip it in the soup just like that. Taste test of the soup. The next recipe I'm making is baked spaghetti. First, you're going to take your spaghetti pasta noodles. I like to break them in half. That way they will cook a lot more evenly. Then you're just going to lay them across each other going to different ways. Now the secret of cooking noodles in your instant pot is you want to make sure that the water is covering all the noodles. Then you're going to put the lid on. You have a little knob. Make sure that's on ceiling, not venting. Then on this one we're going to push pressure cook. Now noodles or pasta usually only takes about four minutes but I'm actually going to cook it for three minutes because this one gets a little bit hotter and then we're going to push start on this one. The pasta is all done cooking. I rinsed it with some cold water so it would stop cooking the noodles so we are now ready to go. We're going to add half of the pasta to the bottom of the pan and then we're going to add half of the spaghetti sauce. Then just going to mix that around so all the pasta is covered with the sauce. Then we're going to use all the leftover cheese that we had for these recipes and add it to here. So first I did mozzarella. Shred it all up. We're going to add the mozzarella to this layer. Then we're going to add the rest of the noodles on top. I'm not going to do all the noodles. It's just a little too much. There's just a little bit left and that's okay. We want to be sure to taste the spaghetti sauce. Then again we're going to add the sauce. Mix that in a little bit onto this layer. Then we have the rest of the cheddar. We're going to put that on top. Then we're going to cook this about 350 degrees for 10 minutes. All right baked spaghetti done. All right pour my hand spaghetti. So I'm going to give that one a 4 out of 5. My kids love it. My husband he didn't love it. And the last recipe I'm making is our chickpea and pasta. So in a sauce pan I am going to add some olive oil on medium-high heat. Then I'm going to add in half of the chopped onion and I'm also going to add half the bag of chopped spinach. Then we're just going to cook this until everything is nice and softened. Next we're going to add our fire roasted diced tomatoes and then one can of chickpeas. Then mix that all together. I'm going to add the one can of chicken broth and half of the pasta. Okay then we're going to put the lid on. We're just going to let it simmer for about five minutes. The noodles are all done cooking. Man this looks so good. Now I haven't added any seasoning yet so we're going to just add salt and pepper and then I'm going to add some Italian seasoning. I thought that would be good here. Then mixing it all together. Alright I couldn't get any kids to volunteer to test. Taste test but you know for a five dollar dinner it's really not that bad. I'm going to give it a 4 out of 5. Now if you want more five dollar dinners just like this you can find some right up there. And if you have watched all the way to the end you get a special surprise.
