I dread paying the bills each month. Seeing that dollar amount due gives me anxiety, and the credit card we use for groceries is especially dreadful. When did sustenance become so expensive? Thanks to rollback savings on Kraft products at Walmart, I was able to feed my family for well under twenty dollars, with enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Low budget meals are the best any time but especially during tight budget times like the 1st and 15th of the month. These Chilled Barbecue Chicken Salad Sandwiches may be low budget but they are high on taste.
When the weather is warm, we like to avoid turning on the oven. It’s either the grill or crock-pot for dinner prep. I also love using the crock-pot in summer because it gives us more time to do all the fun things.
This dinner (or lunch) is perfect for a hot summer day because it’s served cold. You can either serve it alongside salad greens, or make sandwiches like we did. I selected Miracle Whip as one of the ingredients because it’s a great better-for-you alternative to mayonnaise.
We paired our sandwiches with VELVEETA Shells & Cheese Dinner Cups. I couldn’t find the original version at our store, so I picked up the cups and I have to say, it was much easier than boiling over the stove. And also, no dirty pans. Hooray!
I hope you enjoy this low budget meal as much as we did!

I love the idea of using the crock pot or grill in the summertime to keep the house cooler. I am a HUGE fan of the crock pot (my husband does the grilling). We love, love, love Kraft products. One of my husband’s favorite crock pot recipes uses Kraft barbecue sauce. I put 2-3 boneless (thawed) chicken breasts in my crockpot and let it cook on high for three hours. I dump the juice from the chicken and then put half of a bottle of Kraft barbecue sauce in it and half of a can of coke. Mix it together and put the chicken breasts back in the crockpot and cook it on high for 1/2 hour. Serve it on rice or noodles! It comes out AMAZING!!!

What a great idea! Wish I could get away with this rather than the expected hamburgers and hotdogs for 4th of July. It would be more refreshing than standing over the grill!

This looks REALLY good. I would love to try those cran-raisins in this!

I love barbecue chicken, but I never would have thought to use cran-raisins in the salad. It sounds delicious – I like the idea of the sweet kick. What a neat dinner idea – and cheap with all the KRAFT rollback items! #client
