    These are great! I love that you can switch things up and personalize these recipes. They are honestly great foundations for an affordable, tasty meal. My Dollar Tree has veggie meatballs and I’ve sliced them in half and put them on a bagel with a little pasta sauce and cheese – perfect substitution for a meatballs sub, AND vegetarian! So easy! Thanks for the ideas!
