Are you wanting to be a bit fancy! or just hearty and filling type of thing!
http://www.healthyfood.co.nz/recipes/2008/may/hfg-sausage-casserole This is tasty and filling served with salad or steamed greens and fresh crusty bread. And this link takes you to the search section with "low cost" as the search term.

Hope this is helping; as you might be looking more for tried and tested recipes, personal favourites; rather than general recipes. I like Healthy food guide recipes because then I can look for recipes that I have the ingrediants to.

Think about cheap options which a group of similar foods.

E.g. Make chilli con carne served with rice
Cheaper than
Burritos or nachos (similar ingredients, but rice instead of burritos or nacho chips)

Agree with the chilli con carne or soup. Maybe ever a roast veg salad and colslaw.

How many people.Is this just for a meal or do you want to go fancy.You should be able to make a good casserole, with creamy mash and greens, apricot chicken with rice and veg, good old roast chicken and veg *Chooks on special at PNS*
Cottage pie, bacon and egg pie, curry, butter chicken with rice. Macaroni pasta bake, curried or devilled sausages.
