Cooking for a family is expensive; there are multiple mouths to feed, big appetites to satisfy, and picky eaters with costly demands. But cooking family meals that are both crowd-pleasing and budget-friendly is possible. How? By using inexpensive staple ingredients (like pasta, beans, or eggs) and putting them together in ways that only taste like they cost a lot of money.

To make your life easier, we rounded up 15 hearty family meals you can make with $10 or less — and focused on finding ones that are flexible enough to make everyone in your family happy. So the next time you’re not sure what to make, turn to these. Your family will love the recipes, and you’ll love the fact that they don’t cost a fortune.

A note on pricing: Our costs were calculated based on grocery prices sourced from Instacart, so your local prices may vary. (We also assumed you had a few staple ingredients — like olive oil, salt, and spices — on hand already.)
