Steps
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5 to 6 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- Add onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef.
- Pour in the corn with its liquid, the cheddar soup, and milk, stirring to combine.
- Add the frozen green beans and simmer over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes until the beans are tender and the sauce thickens.
Why it’s cheap
2 of the 8 ingredients were on sale at Walmart the week of October 18, 2026, led by canned corn with liquid at $0.50 instead of $0.82.
The sale items rang up $1.30 under their regular prices.
Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $1.83 a serving, or $7.32 for 4 servings.
