    Don't let a lack of time, motivation, or planning derail your budget or keep you from nourishing your body. Make this easy casserole using pantry staples instead!

    Easy Greek Casserole from Living Well Kitchen

    Pantry meals are a great way to cut food costs. I always have cans of beans, tuna & salmon, and vegetables. Pasta, rice, quinoa, and lentils are always found in there, too. And these items are all shelf staples for quite some time; plus, they are pretty inexpensive.

    Cheese is also a regular staple in the fridge. (here's a quick note of thanks for cheese: Thanks for keeping me alive on days that I'm too lazy to go to the store. You & peanut butter are the best!)

    Cheese might not always be the most budget-friendly choice, but it adds tons of flavor and protein. Plus, cheese makes everything better, right? Yep!

    Together, all of the ingredients cost less than $12.

    But my favorite part of this recipe is that it takes 5 minutes to make and there's only one dish to clean (wooohhooooo!!!). Seriously, you open three cans and then stir everything together. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Then top with some cheese (yessss!!) and bake a little bit longer. That's it. 

    And if you have leftovers, all the better because leftovers of this casserole are delish!

    A little note: if you have cooked chicken or turkey, you can substitute it in place of the chickpeas. Use 1 ½ cups cooked chicken.
