I just made this because I was lazy. It turned out better than I expected.
Steam asparagus in the microwave. Cook steaks in a skillet on the high heat, you want to leave some blackened bits at the bottom. If the steaks are thick enough you can do this while still getting a decent medium rare in the middle. Once the steaks are done move them to the plate to rest and remove the skillet from the heat. Put a healthy dollop of butter into the skillet to deglaze. Pour this over the asparagus and enjoy. The cheap steaks cost me about $4, asparagus was about $3, butter is always around. $7 can feed 3-4 or cooked in portion sizes to make several meals. |

Sloppy joes. A double batch will feed you for 4-8 meals depending on if you have something with it or not. Just make sure you use manwich and not try to create your own sauce.
Also, you can get 2-3 very large salads out of a thing of lettuce(they are what $1-2 a bundle).. Add some tuna(~$1) for some protein. Add some topping and you have a nightly fine meal. These meals may not be the cheapest, but they are pretty good for you. I also like doing a pork roast/butt whatever(under $2 a pound) in the crockpot for some tacos/fajitas/quesodillas. Another secret is to eat the same thing every day for dinner until it is gone...you will probably get sick of it by the 3rd night and not eat as much(always happens to me with sloppy joes). Hence you save some $$. |

This thread needs a bump for us cheapasses.
A quick and easy noodle bowl. Take whichever ramen pack or instant noodle bowl, cook it according to the directions, and add your favorite kimchi or other vegetables on top. Teriyaki chicken thighs or fried egg is great as well. Crock Pot Pork Butt 5-7lb pork butt depending on the size of your crockpot 6 garlic cloves 1-2 tablespoons of kosher salt 3-4 pieces of bacon Peel garlic cloves and cut in half. Stab pork butt all around the meat and insert half cloves into each slit. Evenly cover with salt depending on taste and final use for the meat. I usually use 1-2T. Put bacon on bottom of crockpot. Cook pork fat side up for about 16 hours on low. Remove meat from juices and shred with forks. Its a great, flavorful, dish that can be made into lots of different things or eaten as is. I use BBQ sauce for pork sammiches or other spices and salsa for tacos/burritos. |

Half-Ass stir fry.
Found a large bag of pre-chopped and flash frozen stir fry mix at the store for around 2 bucks, contains 11 or so servings. Combined with a pack of hotdogs, which ever brand you prefir. In a skillet, melt a tab of butter and begin to saute some minced garlic. Once you have a nice smell going, toss in some of the frozen veggies and cover. (I usually do around 2 servings worth, I like my veggies  )
While they are cooking, dice up one or two hotdogs, and throw them into the veggie mix. Keep everything moving around and add what ever you like to the mix. Once the hotdog slices plump, you should be good to go. I will get 4-5 meals out of a single bag of veggies and pack of hot dogs, shouldn't run you more than $4 or so. I usually eat it just like that, but in a pinch you could put it over, or with some rice. |

My go to is always spaghetti.
A one lb tube of sausage, a 1lb pouch of noodles, and a 26oz can of pasta sauce. Brown the sausage, add the sauce, simmer while you boil the noodles, mix it all together when its done. I always get traditional sauce knowing i will be adding my own meat. "Meat" flavored sauce is shit. |

Chilean Dal. I use 1 tbsp of yellow curry powder instead of 1 tsp of cumin, leave out the tomatoes and use one habanero for the chile. I also mix the tomato sauce & cooked lentils together in a bowl and puree it with a stick blender before adding it to the cooking pot

It has been mentioned a few times but I can't stress enough, Fried rice mixed with whatever you want.
If you learn how to make awesome fried rice, it is super fast, easy, and one of the cheapest things you can make. 1000 calories worth of rice costs about $0.20 if you buy in bulk at sams club. You can add anything to fried rice that you feel like. I like to crockpot chicken with water, orange juice, a bullion cube and italian spices and then pull it, then just mix the two or eat the chicken with ranch and the rice as is. With fried rice, its easier to make a bunch of it then a little. But WORST case scenario even if you throw half of what you made away, your really not wasting that much money, maybe half a buck. You can always feed it to the dogs, they will like it as much or more than their food, they see it as a treat, and its probably cheaper than the dog food you are feeding them. one meal with rice won't hurt them at all. You can add beans to rice. Pork, fish, sausage. I like to do kielbasa with a can of diced tomatoes or rotel, corn, green peppers, onion, whatever I have all mixed in. Makes prob 8 meals and costs maybe 5-6 bucks. |

Lo mein. Boil up some spaghetti noodles - broken in half, or ramen noodles - al dente, saute whatever vegetables you might have on hand like celery, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, sugar peas, onion, etc, chopped small, until tender crisp. Toss in the drained spaghetti and add some soy sauce or fish sauce, or both and toss until well mixed. Thats it. You can also toss in some left over meats or even diced up lunch meat as you do the veggies.

Roaster chicken soup:
1 Roaster chicken 1 bag baby carrots 1 onion 1 small bunch of celery; 3 stalks 1 can of chicken stock or beef stock 2 tablespoons of flour 2 tablespoons of butter Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons Assuming you have some spices in your cabinet; thyme, parsley, 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Chop veggies; and start sautéing in a decent sized stock pot in the butter. While that's cooking pull the meat off the chicken and chop that. Leave most of it in fork size pieces; shred the rest. When the onions are clear add the flour and stir. Cook for a couple minutes and then add the chicken stock Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Add enough water for the number of servings you want; 6-8 cups. Bring to a boil and cook for until the carrots are tender. Add the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Less than $10 for 6 meals. Can be stretched by adding egg noodles or rice. I also add frozen peas and fresh spinach occasionally; I'll add them when I add the chicken. |

Chicken tacos.
Dice up chicken breasts. Cook for a bit in olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Add in some red cooking wine, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce. I don't know how much, I don't measure. Cook until liquid is gone. Makes for great tacos and I use the chicken for salads at work also. |

I love those rotisserie chickens - there's so much you can do with them. For my family of three, we'll eat one for dinner - usually a breast for the wife, a breast for me and a leg for the kid. That leaves a leg, two thighs and maybe the wings that I can use later. Some ideas: Chicken tacos/nachos/burritos - de-skin and shred meat, cook over medium heat with a little oil and some taco seasoning. Chicken salad - de-skin, chop/shred, add mayo. Making your own chicken stock from the carcass is easy too, and if you freeze it in an ice cube tray then bag the cubes you have small amounts of chicken stock for recipes down the road. A favorite easy meal for me is pick up a rotisserie chicken, alfredo sauce, and penne noodles. While noodles cook, debone the chicken and add to alfredo sauce.

There can be endless variations of this, I'll use fish sauce, omit the ginger, add enoki mushrooms, dried seaweed flakes, or omit the Miso and make a broth with dried anchovie and sea kelp. Or swap the protien with fish, or beef/pork what ever. Just like Pho, add fresh cilantro or parsely, whatever, it is cheap and easy to make. |

If you're looking for a way to make a cheap meal one of the best things I could think to recommend is to see where the nearest international market is.
Something like an Hmart or whatever it happens to be, go in and check out the produce, bulk rice, seasonings, and noodles. If you like green leafy vegetables and you're used to shopping at Fresh Market or Whole Foods the prices will shock you. Buy some flank steak, gai lan, garlic, and rice. Make a stir fry with whatever sauce you like with beef and eat it on steamed rice. I like Laoganma stuff in the jar with the red label for Szechuan or get a small tub of Gochujuang and make a vinegar sauce with that... Or just make or use any teriyaki / stir fry sauce you like. Flank steak isn't exactly cheap, that's why you only use a little and pad the meal with vegetables and rice so you can get at least two more meals out of a decent amount 3-4 lbs. The next thing would be egg noodles topped with flank steak, either stroganoff or gravy style whatever you like, I'd make stroganoff and use wine and sour cream because it's awesome and although mushrooms add to the cost you get a big bag of egg noodles at GFS or a food service store for cheap, or you can just make them with flour and eggs or even use rice. The third day you can make fajitas and take a trick from Chipotle, use rice and beans to stretch the meat out. If you need to cut the food bill soup is always a good idea too. Chicken soup, mushroom soup, potato soup, tomato soup. I really like homemade soup. |

Carbonara
Spaghetti Garlic Basil and Tomato (optional) Bacon (2 pieces) Olive Oil (2 tbs) 1 egg milk (1/2c) Grated Parmesan cheese (1/4c) Render bacon in a cast iron skillet. While that happens, prepare spaghetti. Add garlic and olive oil to bacon, keep on low heat. Drain spaghetti, reserving some of the liquid. Add spaghetti to bacon/garlic/olive oil. and stir toss to get the grease and oil of the noodles. Whisk eggs and milk, and parm. Add egg mixture to noodles, stirring/tossing constantly (I use tongs). Keep it moving, otherwise you'll get scrambled eggs. The idea is to coat the noodles with the egg mixture. If the noodles look to thick, add some of the reserved noodle water. Add chopped basil and diced tomatoes, serve. |

Simmer additional 15 minutes uncovered living in central florida where theres a huge Puerto rican and Cuban community the average recipe ive been give doesn't have the Italian sausage/chorizo nor red wine vinegar, and the olives are your usual small green ones. one trick is to cook the onions in the beginning with the brine of the olives to get that extra olive-y taste as I like it. |
