I like to keep it simple and easy, as I'm a working mom. If your looking for low cost, then I would make rice and serve with some vegetables. I don't know if you have a garden, as I enjoy growing the produce. Several times a week I serve a baked potato, which you could fill with chili to serve as a meal.
