I briefly marinated the meat in soy sauce, red pepper flakes, pepper, olive oil, and garlic powder after practically shaving it on the diagonal across the grain.
The meat was a gift so do didn’t contribute to the cost but if you know the price of 3 ounces of whole tissue steak or chicken you could add that in. If I had any provolone I would have put it between the toppings and the potatoes.
Cost per person, $1.24
They were on sale and even then they are more expensive if a five pound bag costs less than about $3.50. They are extremely convenient. They aren’t as good but they are good enough. Also when I make mashed potatoes I tend to make too much. Not too much to have leftovers but too much to not feel guilty about eating in one go. So this helps with portion control.
Makes sense!
