Did someone say beans?
Tried this for lunch today...1lb of Johnsonville Firecracker sausages, 1 can of beans, 1 can of refried beans. Remove sausage casings and brown the meat, add the beans (don't drain the regular beans dump it all in), simmer for a bit. I was just going to do beans & sausage, but I only had one can of beans. Had already started, so it was hominy or refried. Went with the refried beans...glad I did, this was really tasty. It's like high-fiber chili. I think the sausages are limited time only, but I'll add this to the lunch rotation until they're gone. Good for a couple of lunches at least. |

What you save for meals just may get spent on toilet paper though 
I find myself eating way less of all 3 I just mentioned ( beans rice and taters ) - I am 57yo and see myself consuming far less food than in previous years. part of getting old I think. Taters I like better than rice or beans. Beans my least fav as they make me feel bloated None of the 3 are real high on nutritional value ( mostly filler for meals vs the actual protein and other stuff I would rather have ) |

BBQ Vinegar Style chicken
This is a old fire department recipe. The dept that this comes from cooks around 2K chickens halves 2 times a year and sells out quickly. Sauce -2 gallons of White House Apple Cider vinegar (has to be this brand) -8 Cups of Wesson Oil -8 Table Spoons of Poultry Seasoning -8 table spoons of black pepper -5.5 cups of salt Bring to boil and make sure all salt is dissolved. Can be stored in back in Vinegar jugs or mason jars at room temp. shake sauce well before use. Chicken halves or Chicken quarters or chicken strips all will work. The Strips can get dried out. Place on grill and brown lightly and mop chicken every 10min and turn over. Should be done in less than 30min depending on thickness and amount. Pro tip*- pour sauce in mason jar while mopping chicken, do not use full mason jar. Will contaminate with raw chicken. Pro tip*- when re heating chicken place in large freezer zip lock bag pour in 1/2 cup of sauce and reheat in microwave. Flip chicken/ bag every 15-30 seconds and repeat this over a few min. Will keep the chicken very moist and possibly add some carcinogens   Attached File Attached File |

Grilled PBJ
Mix peanut nut butter and jelly in bowl. I like to have mine a little strong on the PB side. Butter 2 slices of bread and place in pan and let them brown. Right as they are nearing that perfect golden brown buttery perfection add PBJ mixture place one on top and allow to finish. The PBJ mix will get warm and gooey. Leaving it in the pan too long will make it super runny which is not what you want.  Attached File |

Here's two:
1. you need an Instant Pot or Power Pressure Cooker 3 frozen chicken breasts 16oz broth or water dollop of butter some Mrs Dash or Salt & Pepper, garlic powder for seasoning 1 can cream of mushroom/chicken/celery whisk it all together and cook on HIGH for 25 mins-fast release pressure and remove chicken and shred it toss shredded chicken back in and add some diced onions and half a bag of egg noodles or half box of Penne Cook on HIGH for 6-8 mins and fast release again. Incredible chicken and noodles dish 2. you need some cooked rice, or buy a CHEAP rice cooker and prep up some white rice in it 1-2 cups cooked white rice 16oz package frozen mixed veggies, mostly thawed under running warm water 1/2 white onion 2 tbsp oil soy sauce 1 egg heat the oil and saute the onion until nearly clear, add the veggies and season with salt until near tender. Move veggies to edges of the pan and crack the egg into the center and scramble it, quickly add the rice and some soy sauce for color and stir fry all of it together until blended well. Serve on a plate with some shredded rotisserie chicken mixed in if you have it. It is glorious! |

classic casserole that we like, pretty cheap if you pick up items on sale.
1 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled (or just use breasts if you get em on sale) 2 cups cooked white rice or whatever you have leftover 2-3 cups frozen chopped broccoli (we use 1/2 bag) 1 bag shredded cheddar cheese, less if you like but we like it gooey 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1/2- 1 cup milk, until texture is how you like it mix it all together in a casserole and bake for 30 minutes at 375. this version gets a few meals, but you can halve it for 1 good sized meal. |

You can get a huge block of Tillamook sharp cheddar at Costco that can make 100 grilled cheese sandwichs for around $8. A few loafs of bread from Costco and you can eat grilled cheese sandwich every lunch for a month and have less than $10 total invested |

Over the years, here's my cheap, quick, and happy meal:
Camble's Tomato Soup Shrimp Top Ramen with flavor packet Two cans water 1 tbs sugar other spices as you like. give it some kicks. Simmer it until the Ramen is cooked. It gets thick like Spaghettios. |

With pork being about the cheapest meat you can buy right now, how many of these recipes can be adapted using it?
I bought a pound of ground pork and it was about half the price of a pound of beef. We made tacos out of it using your usual seasoning of choice and they were outstanding. It also makes a nice meatloaf but then a lot of your old-fashioned meatloaf recipes used beef and pork. |

Ground pork is great if you make cabbage rolls. I prefer it to beef.

This is probably one of my favorite ground pork recipes, and you can use cheap ramen if you like. Pork Ramen |

Refried beans:
Two cups of pinto beans. Quarter cup lard, bacon grease, shortening or canola oil. salt to taste. spices (I usually go with 1/2tsp orgenao, 1tsp cumin (that's a lot of cumin, if you don't like lots of cumin, go 1/4 to 1/2), 1TBS garlic powder, 1TBS chipotle powder). Put beans in crock pot with plenty of water and salt (to taste) on low for at least 8 hours. I've left them for 3 days one time. The longer the better. Drain beans and retain one cup of water. Add fat to a pot and heat to medium. Add beans. Stir vigorously. Add spices as you stir. If stirring doesn't mash the beans, use a potato masher. Add water until the beans are the right consistency. I like my beans a bit runnier if served as a side, or thicker if going in a burrito. If you wish to make burritos, I make a mixture of ground beef, onions and habaneros which I add to the beans as I stir them. If making this as a side, you make enough refried beans to serve as a side to four people. For maybe 50 cents. |

We did a ham in the crock pot. Use orange juice and Mt Dew in the crock pot with the ham. Cut it up, mix it with some white rice and red beans. I added some seasoning, but you can add whatever you want. Pretty good and it lasted my family of 4 (2 teens) for 2 days.

Take a pork loin, cover with one package of Lipton Onion Soup mix, and top with 3 TBS of minced garlic, 3 TBS soy sauce, add one cup water and 2/3 cup red wine to the crock pot plus veggies of your choice. I added small potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms might be good too. Cook on low for 4-5 hours until the pork is done to a temperature of your liking. Makes it own gravy.
