Meatloaf With Green Chile-Tomato Gravy, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Sautéed Squash and Carrots ring up for just less than $1.25 a serving.

When our editor asked the Foods staff to come up with five meals that would serve four people for less than $25, we wondered if such a challenge was even possible. At $1.25 a serving, the prospects seemed slim--but with a little planning and some smart shopping, we surprised everyone with family-pleasing favorites such as baked chicken and pan-fried pork chops. Of course, supermarket specials change regularly.
