If you want a hearty meal that costs just $5, you HAVE to try BBQ Pork Smothered Mashed Potatoes. It’s like a loaded baked potato that’s easy to eat so it’s perfect for the kids.

It is getting harder to cook for my family of 6 without breaking the bank. Their appetites are growing and so I’ve been getting creative with potatoes which are very inexpensive. Just by adding a can of @CampbellsChunky soup I can make potatoes really stretch at dinner time.

$5 BBQ Pork Smothered Mashed Potatoes

The first step in making these is to make the perfect creamy mashed potatoes. My recipe is SO good and easy, you’ll never do it another way.

Of course I always enlist my little chefs to help. They love beating the potatoes until they’re light and fluffy.

I used a can of Campbells Seasoned BBQ Pork Soup and warmed it on the stove before topping the potatoes with it. The kiddos love stirring the soup while it heats up. Makes them feel all grown up I guess

Once my potatoes are ready to go, I scooped them into our bowls with an ice cream scooper for easy serving, making a well in the middle of them for the soup. Then I topped the potatoes with lots of goodies like cheese, chives and sour cream.

It was a hit especially with dad! Being it just costs $5 for the whole family to be satisfied, we’ll definitely be having this again. It would also be great served with some green beans or other warm vegetable.

With the new Campbell’s ChunkyTM soups exciting new flavors, there are so many different combinations you could try! Plus lots of other delicious Campbell’s recipes you can make on the cheap.

What kind of soup would you try on top of your Mashed Potatoes?
