Dollar Tree Salisbury Steak Pasta – $10 One-Pot Meal
This is part of my series where I take frozen dinners from the dollar store and try to turn them into a full meal. Today I used three Michelina’s Salisbury steak dinners to make a hearty one-pot pasta dish that fed four, and came in right at $10.
Ingredients (All $1.25 each):
• 3 frozen Salisbury steak dinners – $3.75
• 2 boxes beef pasta dinner kits – $2.50
• 1 jar mushrooms – $1.25
• 1 bag frozen seasoning blend – $1.25
• 1 small container of milk – $1.25
Total: $10.00 exactly
How I made it:
Microwaved the frozen dinners just enough to thaw, then sautéed half the frozen seasoning blend with a drained jar of mushrooms in a little oil.
Added the Salisbury steaks (with gravy) and broke them up into chunks like ground beef. Stirred in the pasta kits, seasoning packets, water, and milk as instructed.
Covered and simmered for 12 minutes, then stirred in the mashed potatoes from the frozen meals at the end to help thicken it up.
You could also serve the pasta over mashed potatoes for a Salisbury-meets-Swedish-meatball vibe—but you’d need extra potatoes to stretch it.

Gross—too much sodium 😝
So the sodium count the imitation meet the imitation potatoes not to mention how much does it cost for each and every frozen meal and how much does it cost for each and every box meal you're better off buying a bag of noodles for less than a dollar a pound of ground beef for what $5 you can get a can of frozen vegetables or a bag of frozen vegetables which is less than a dollar a little bit of milk flour a much healthier meal
So you spent what 30 to $40 on a meal? You don't have no business in the kitchen lady if you don't know how to cook for less than that that same exact meal shame on you
I despise Micilena frozen food. The worst in the world
That looks good
MAGICAL ❤❤
You're feeding your family poison honey poisoned plain and simple I'm so sorry I suppose you're still a lot of sicker in your house huh I'll pray for you
Great idea. I like the Michalena’s , but they are not a substantial portion for a hungry appetite.
So you’re feeding your family shit!
That looks like my kind of comfort dish 😋😋😋
Cheap and easy also edible that's a win-win in my eyes
It never ceases to amaze me what Americans consider edible. Microwave meals, canned stuff, industrially processed junk full of chemical additives. No wonder more and more people are wobbeling around like walking jelly and kids are getting dumb and dumber. Unscrupulous corporations are literally poisoning the population … 😢
Can spend ehat you spent on fresh food and get a better meal than trying to bastardise the already shit food
Lovely idea 💡! Thank you for sharing 🙏. I wish we had Dollar Tree in Dublin Ireland. The version of meals you have in your Vlog, I'd love to have over here too! Xxx
Yum yum get some
Folks, does dollar tree dinner actually reply or acknowledge to your comments?
Not likely.
She seems to be a homely want to be, lovable Martha Stewart offspring.
Don’t fall into that trap.
As things fall into place, when one gets hungry, one learns how to survive.
Without the help of a Dollar Tree Princess.
Hope nobody is on sodium restrictions eating that
Great video ❤❤ I have the Salisbury Steaks and egg noodles and brown gravy mix and mushrooms and seasoning blend. Hmmmm lol
Add parsley flakes for flavor and color. Yum.I also do a Ramen noodle add tuna and basil.Yum.
It looks yummy 😋
As a 20yr old I’ve very recently had to care for two of my family members who cannot physically take care of themselves, after a long day of doing everything for them I tend to neglect myself. Thank you so very much for making it easier on me, I don’t have much money at all to feed everyone and myself or much time to prepare it but you make it so easy, I’m eternally grateful❤
Thanks so much for Posting your Videos for those of us that are pretty much stay at home Seniors.
I like your Stretch the Budget Meals. Years ago I was always stretching the food to feed my large family .There were at least 14 of us all the time every day for years. We also had a large garden every year and an Orchard. And made everything from Scratch. But with all that it didn't mean that I didn't have to Budget.. And now that I'm older I don't do nearly as much from Scratch cooking asI used to. So you're cooking and you're ideas come in very handy for me.I most certainly appreciate your ideas.
I feel like $10 is high for one dinner for a family of four at dollar tree 😅
My local Bravo supermarket has packs of pork and cheap steaks between $3-$5!
Also, at my local flea market, there are random bags of $1 produce that only last maybe 3 days. I’ve purchased small potatoes this way.
Walmart and Publix have $1 baguettes…
You could buy an entire 6 pack of ramen for $1.25 and each person get their own bowl, plus two left over… and you’d still have $8 to work with 👀
Looked like you almost threw up after your first bite 😂
I’d smash that whole pan!
Thats what i used to call my one pot waonders lol. One pot and whatever i could find in the pantry and freezer
Hi Rebecca looks delicious
They look like beef stroganoff
Genius! Never thought of this.
Rib stickin'!
It's less than $4 for 6 Salisbury steaks from Walmart just fyi!
I would smash so fast omg this looks so good to me rn 😅
Love your creative meal videos!!
Wow! This looks delicious i love the color!
What a country
I love this channel. ❤
Hats off to you helping out the starving students ❤
That looks NOT good…no.
I know you can’t get sour cream at dollar tree, but a little bit of sour cream added to that would’ve brought it over the top. I actually like Michaelina’s frozen dinners I think they have a lot of flavor to begin with never tried the Salsberry steak however, I’ll have to give that want to try
10 out 10 ❤
Oh hell no that looks like vomit
I get it, stretching your dollar for meals. However, I have 26 years working in food manufacturing and trust me, everything in that meal is poison with little nutritional value.
Everything shown is highly processed. Example, the flour for the pasta is made from highly processed flour. The flour goes through so many mechanical and chemical changes that it needs to be enriched to replace what was removed. Read the ingredients on food you purchase.
I have worked for top tier food manufacturers and if you knew what I know, then you would stop eating this crap. This is why I left the industry.
❤
That looks delicious 😊
Things is you could have spent less just getting a pound of ground beef 😂
What about the meals you can incorporate frozen fruit from DT into? I made muffins and pancakes from scratch with all DT ingredients, including the frozen fruits, and need more ideas.
Ive been watching you for a long time. You're very creative but you eat a lot of crap I would never eat and I don't trust when you claim these dishes are good. But your dollar store recipes are probably great for lots of people. Best of luck.
Add a salad and some fruit and you've got a well rounded meal. This is a great idea if you're pressed for money! As a nutritionist, Love love love that you are doing this. Love your content.
