If you’re on a budget or just love finding great deals on groceries, you’ve probably already discovered the wonders of shopping at Aldi. With its great prices and wide selection of fresh produce, meats and pantry staples, it’s easy to stock up on everything you need to whip up a delicious and healthy dinner every night of the week.
To help get you started, we’ve put together a list of 5 easy dinner ideas that use ingredients you can find at Aldi. From classic comfort foods like spaghetti and meatballs to lighter and more exotic fare like grilled shrimp with mango salsa, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
1. Spaghetti and meatballs – Start with Aldi’s delicious organic spaghetti, add your favorite marinara sauce (we love Simply Nature Organic Marinara), and top it off with some Italian-seasoned meatballs made with Aldi Simply Nature grass-fed ground beef. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
2. Chicken and veggie stir-fry – Cut up some chicken breast and stir-fry it with fresh veggies like bell peppers, snow peas and broccoli. Season with garlic and ginger, then add a splash of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for an Asian-inspired twist. Serve over rice or noodles.
3. Grilled shrimp with mango salsa – Toss some large shrimp with olive oil, lime juice and chili powder, then grill until lightly charred and pink. Top with a fresh and zesty mango salsa made with diced mango, red onion, lime juice and cilantro. Serve with a side of rice or quinoa.
4. Vegan lentil soup – Simmer lentils with chunks of carrots, celery and onion in Aldi’s low-sodium vegetable broth. Add in some diced tomatoes, fresh herbs and spices like cumin, turmeric or paprika for a hearty and flavorful soup. Serve with some crusty bread for dipping.
5. Smoked sausage and vegetable skillet – Slice up some smoked sausage and cook it in a cast-iron skillet with an assortment of colorful veggies like zucchini, squash, onions and bell peppers. Season with garlic, salt and pepper and top with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
These dinner ideas are just a few examples of the many tasty and budget-friendly options you can create with ingredients from Aldi. With some creativity and a well-stocked pantry, you’ll never have to resort to takeout or fast food again!
