I need a recipe (idea) for dinner Sunday that is budget friendly and does not involve mac and cheese or ramen noodles.

Meister do you have any suggestions?
Is it a special occasion, or are you having guests? Why Sunday?
 
No guests. Sunday is the only day right now where I want to really make an effort to cook something different.
Here's something really easy, really good. In a cast iron skillet, sauté small diced onions (about a half) in a little of the oil of your choice, add minced garlic - I just use the jar stuff and use as much as I can pile onto a dinner fork in one scoop - until the onion is translucent. Add a splash or two of the wine of your choice. Add chicken thighs that you have removed the skin and seasoned. I use Cavender's Greek Seasoning, or salt and pepper, or even adobo, depending on my mood, but mostly Cavender's because it's awesome. Move the mixture to the side, and start packing them in there next to each other with no room between them (they will shrink), scooping the mixture over them. You can cook them on the stovetop, but you get a more even result by putting it in a 350 degree oven for about 60-80 minutes, flipping them over about 40 minutes in. You'll get delicious falling off the bone thighs and gravy to put over rice, along with the veggie of your choice. I do a variation of this at least once a week. Sometimes with pasta and Alfredo sauce, sometimes as part of chicken and dumplings.

The cast iron isn't required but preferable.
