What are some good dinner recipes that aren't expensive to make?

I am cooking dinner on Saturday night for my boyfriend, does anyone have any good dinner recipes that aren't too outrageously expensive to make. I want to make something that is really good but isn't too expensive to make. He isn't a big fan of pasta and sauces, I want something interesting too. Thanks in advance I want to make it special!What are some good dinner recipes that aren't expensive to make?
Get 2 big, thick (or butterflied) pork chops, and cut pockets in the side. Make some Stovetop Stuffing (per the package) and stuff the chops. Put some Lawry's marinade (I like Baja Chipolte, mesquite or hickory) in a pan; then the chops; then more marinade. Cover with foil and bake at 375 about 30-40 min; uncover and bake another 15 min or so. Serve with any stuffing that didn't fit in the chops; a green salad and fresh fruit (citrus fruit is good with this) ......

7. CATALINA CHICKEN:

';Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case.





Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist.





Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep.';
