If you’re looking for ways to stretch those doll If you’re looking for ways to stretch those dollars with your meal plans, this is one of our favorites! 🍽 1️⃣ Day One is for tacos. Any remaining chopped onion, tomatoes, jalapeños and meat is stored in individual containers. 2️⃣ Day Two is for spaghetti. Sauté the onion, then add pasta sauce, the remaining meat, jalapeños and tomatoes. That taco seasoning from the meat makes this spaghetti a hit every time. 3️⃣ Day Three is for leftovers … if you have any. 😉 📸: @madebyrori 👩🏻‍🍳 #dallasfoodnerd #foodnerd #athomecooking
