Have searched and tried to find a suitable thread but not luck so here goes. Daughter has to make a meal for College credits for $10 that must feed at least two. I have suggested pasta and some sort of sauce using canned tomatoes with additions (not sure what)? Then chocolate self saucing puding which should be east under $10-daughter not a tomato fan- any ideas ladies?

She's not inspired by my ideas. Said she would have no trouble so thought somebody here might be inspirational for her.

Firstly - define a meal.
Is it entree with main course then a dessert or is it only the one main course or a single dish offerred as a meal.
Once you answer this then one can look at best options to look at.
Hopes this makes sense.
Cheers and all the best.

She was looking main and dessert- do you think she could docourses for $10- is even going to Binn Inn to show she bought flour or whatever for x amount to show she stays in budget.Said if she uses butter she cab also easily cost that by dividing grams!

buritos - homemade flour tortillas with chilli beef(mince & chilli beans), grated cheese & lettuce(maybe some galicy mayo) then fresh fruit or micro 1 egg choc cake
Being a teen I think thier idea of a meal may vary from ours, try wedges with sour cream chopped chives and bacon or with a mince dish you could feed heaps of people for $10.

this is what I make.
1 tin chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, 2-3 large chopped onions, 2-3 large chopped courgettes,2+ tins ofwater, salt to taste.
Boil then simmer for 30 to 45 mins.
You can add things like mushrooms etc to nearer the end.
Serve with mashed spud or pasta with grated cheese. Meat can be in it or a nice chop or steak or what ever but just as good on its own!!
Pudding would be 1 cup cake per person or a nice instant pud, or a fresh fruit platter that came out of the garden!, rice pud or bread and but pud maybe.
Good luck!

Bin INN is not cheap. Not at all.

Agreed!The only advantage in this case is that she could buy exactly the quantitiy she needs and pay for that only.

Agree with beaker, do something that the teen prefers and be proud of.... A nice salad (one can but any amount when buying loosely) with wedges (home made using only one or two potatoes) and a nice bit of meat like a chicken thigh or a couple of chicken drumsticks, even a couple of gourmet sausages, a nice chop whether pork-lamb-beef cutlet or a nice piece of fish.
Dessert can be a nice wee baked in a cup dessert serve with a bit of ice cream-cream-custard.
Just remember that $10 is broken down to an individual serving hence just a one of meat item can be purchased at most meat outlets.
Now the question is, does one need to show a receipt if not then it does not stop doing other dishes that costs more but per meal serving is no more than $10, hope one catches the drift on this. It opens up other items like Lasangna, donalds chicken laska etc. Cheers.

Yes, an interesting thought, perhaps look at the Aussie Junior Masterchef recipes on that Masterchef website for starters. Maybe google if any other similar websites for junior cooks.
Get this studentto view various Junior recipes and actually some are quite easy and appealing. One can adapt to suit one's budget.
