I have taken to making scout dinners several times a week. It's basically just a hamburger patty, some potatoes (big ones, little red ones, little white ones, doesn't matter), sliced onions, and it's all salted and DRENCHED in ketchup. You seal it all up in foil and stick it in the oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Makes the house smell awesome. Tasty, too.
It's not very veggie-friendly, but you could probably monkey with it to use portobello mushrooms or something.
Other things I do are Chicken Cup-O-Noodles with added shredded cheese and maybe an egg when the water's boiling hot. Scrambled egg and cheese heaped on toast with ketchup. Bits of chicken shredded in olive oil with garlic, then heaped on toast with shredded cheese and maybe some potatoes, and a side of corn.
Not the healthiest things in the world, but definitely the under-$20 a week kind of stuff. And there's not a lot in there that picky eaters can find fault with - I'm picky, too. And there's protein and carbs and whatnot. :-)
