Food Network, the American cooking cable channel, is set to release another reality cooking competition, Big Bad Budget Battle. In this cooking competition, the participating home cooks will have to mind their wallets along with managing their time.

The show will pit contestants against each other to come up with creative, delicious dishes while providing them with a budget. The contestants must then buy groceries and cook two meals, a brunch, and an elevated one-pot dinner.

Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, will be hosting the show and will also be judging the contestants along with a rotational panel of judges.
