Family Recipe of the Week - $4 for dinner for 4

For those of you that know me well, you know that I enjoy cooking!  I have many styles when it comes to this craft.  Sometimes I like to go gourmet, sometimes it's ethnic, sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's kid friendly.  But, the meals that give me the most satisfaction are the ones that are inexpensive, easy, enjoyable and kid friendly. So I am going to try to post a recipe every week that fits those requirements.

I will be creating these meals based on what is available on sale in one of our local grocery stores.  If you live in the Temecula area, this will work in your favor.  If you live elsewhere, I hope you will be inspired anyway!

I am already behind this week as most of the grocery store sale prices are valid only through 02/23.  Hopefully, I will have another one for you on Wednesday which will give you a little more time to shop.  All of the items for this weeks recipe are found at Vons.  So without any more ranting, here is the Family Recipe of the Week:

Grilled London Broil

1 lb. Rancher's Reserve Top Round London Broil
$1.77
1 1b. Broccoli Crowns
$.99
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Shapes
$.99
Ingredients to make Macaroni and Cheese
Teriyaki Sauce

Marinate London Broil in Teriyaki Sauce 4-24 hours.  Grill to desired doneness.  Slice into thin slices.  Serve with prepared macaroni and cheese and steamed broccoli.

The teriyaki sauce does not flavor the meat a great deal but does aid in tenderizing this very inexpensive cut of meat.  You may have to buy several pounds of this meat at the $1.77/lb. price.  If you make extra meat, slice leftovers and simmer the following evening in beef broth.  Place drained meat in toasted hoagie rolls and serve with broth on the side for a quick and easy French Dip!
