Pasta with tomato sauce, scramble egg with green onion, rice, Costco frozen broccoli, banana shank slow cooked in a braise (Osso Buco or Taiwanese noodle), Costco $5 chicken, Trader Joe Norwegian salmon for sashimi, etc.
I always lookin for a good meal, I am food oriented, but I'm a cheap guy. Looking for recopies for yummy meals to make on a budget. Thank YA.
I prefer the flat egg noodles, like you make chicken soup from. Wide seems to work. And don't forget, you can fancy it up a bit with bacon, saved bacon grease, ham chuncks, etc.what kind of noodles?
I occasionally go the store only for veggies. Its amazing how many veggies you get for little money. Its the packaged and meat that kills the budget.Buy a qtr beef. Some places gets you down around $5 pound, plus the freezer you will require allows you to buy stuff on sale and freeze it.
Then buy only in season green veggies, and a few fruits.
THAT is all you need. Rice, bread, pasta is not really good for you anyway.
I have Walmart + and quit going to the grocery store. When I did go people would look at the meat selection and just keep going...veryI occasionally go the store only for veggies. Its amazing how many veggies you get for little money. Its the packaged and meat that kills the budget.
How's the Tilapia?Simple recipes with either chicken breasts or ground beef. Just finished a burger and two homemade salads for dinner. For the two of us the cost was probably around $5.00 Got hamburger rolls on sale for $2.00 a pack of 8.
depression goulash? I ate way too much of that crap as a kid...i.just got the shakes reading thisChili with ground beef or chicken goes a long way and is generally good for your.
I generally avoid carbs, but on occasion I make a lasagna stew - 2 lbs ground beef, onion, celery, green pepper (holy trinity) large can crushed tomatoes, large can diced tomatoes, beef broth, box of spiral noodles, tub of cottage cheese. Season to preference - I make mine with fresh Jalapenos. Goes a really long ways. Google for a real recipe - my recipes change every time![]()
Something similar but much simpler and cheaper is "depression goulash" - essentially noodles, crushed tomatoes and ground beef. You can sub black beans for the ground beef. My mom fed it too me often growing up.
Beans and rice - make your own black beans - tasty.
I agree that chicken, especially bone in whole are really hard to beat for price / nutrition.
If you search out depression era recipes you find a lot of stuff. Unfortunately many are mostly carbs.
Me too! I have never made it since. But better than going hungry.depression goulash? I ate way too much of that crap as a kid...i.just got the shakes reading this
