Chicken fried steak is called that because it is steak. If you can’t afford cube steak, you don’t need to eat it.
The key here is to realize the cheese does not define the name. The cost factor I’m talking about is because of limited budget thanks to the ridiculous price of everything including gas to get to the store. I live rurally so my stores pretty much consist of gas station prices or dollar stores, which suck here they don’t carry half the stuff you might need.
I'm just a bit of a purest, things need to be a certain way for it to be a certain thing, not saying you aren't doing a good job making dinner you do what you can with what you have. I get triggered every time I see anything put into a martini glass called a martini, you made a new thing give it a new name.
It could also be that my mother made six different casseroles all called Susie's special, she had five kids to feed on a limited budget, she also procrastinated a lot so dumping things together and baking it was quick and easy.
I usually do use mozzarella for my lasagna. This was a case I had to use what I had since the mozzarella got eaten by my grandson and making the pizza the night before.
If it hadn’t been for the cheese hound that is my grandson, I would have been okay 😂. We buy him a package of string cheese sticks and he kills them in 2-3 days, then starts in on my shredded cheese.
Oh and btw, I only buy certain name brand things such as Philly cream cheese for my cheesecake, or Ragu spaghetti sauce for spaghetti or lasagna. Otherwise it’s either generic/ store brand or homemade. I even try to make homemade bread over store bought, but it tend to last a day versus a loaf from the store.
