Velveeta Beef Enchilada bake

I found this recipe in Dillons attached to a Velveeta coupon and thought I would give it a try since I have plenty of Velveeta and Rotel on hand from the Mega Event a few weeks back!

Velveeta Beef Enchilada Bake: Serves 6

1 lb. lean ground beef= 1.99 (I never pay more than 1.99/lb.)
1 can (14.75 oz.) cream-style corn=.49 (regular price at Aldi
1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut into 1/2-inch cubes=.75 for me since I got 32 oz for 2.99)
6 corn tortillas (6 inch), cut in half=.50 (pkg of 12 was .99 at Hy-Vee)
1 can (10 oz.) RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained=.49 (price when combined with Mega Event... I even got a few FREE after coupons!)


BROWN meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in corn and VELVEETA.
SPOON 1/3 of the meat mixture into 8-inch square baking dish; cover with 6 tortilla halves and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat mixture and tomatoes; cover.
BAKE 25 min. or until heated through.

This was super GOOD! And all together it only cost me $4.25 or only .71/serving!

Menu Plan Monday

Well my menu didn't go as planned last week since we were all sick. I think we ate toast for like 3 days straight around here so my menu plan will likely look the same. I didn't even have to go to the store this week except for bread!

Sunday: Potato soup with homemade bread
Monday: Ham and Cheese stuff and puff , left over homemade bread
Tuesday: Pulled pork sandwiches, green valley potato and green bean steamer
Wednesday: Red beans and rice with fruit and veggies of some sort (I had enough from when I made this a few weeks ago that I froze it)
Thursday: Left overs or breakfast
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: not sure yet:)

I will post the recipe I wanted to last week tomorrow... it is yummy!

Catalina Issues?

Have you had catalina issues with Dillons or other stores? I am hearing of a few issues with catalinas not printing so I thought I would tell you what I know to be true first:
  • You can roll catalinas. Meaning you can use a catalina to pay for products that are offering the same catalina back.
  • There is not a "limit per card" rule. You can do a catalina deal as many times as you want.
  • The catalina machines can often be out of paper and a cashier doesn't realize it. So if you are expecting a catalina back kindly ask the cashier to make sure the machine is working/loaded with paper.
  • The catalina company will pull an offer w/0 notice even though it wasn't due to end because they feel the catalina offer is "to good of a deal" if coupled with a good sale... for example the current catalina deal for Purex is no longer working because the sale and catalina made for to good of a deal.
  • Managers and store employees often do not know why the catalina didn't print nor do they know about current offers.
If you have issue with a catalina not printing you can always call 1-888-8coupon, option 3 and they will help you. Every now and then you might get a manger or customer service rep that fix an issue in the store, but don't get all heated if they cant... just call the number I just posted.

Also if you would like to keep up to date with current catalina offers you can ad this post here to your favorites!
