I just fill the tortillas with whatever I have on hand: cheese of course , rice, beans, spinach, diced tomatoes… the possibilities are endless. We ate these for a week! My Burmese friend makes a very nourishing and filling soup from by using a large pot with 2 to 3 quarts of both or water.

Into that add 1 cup of rice. Let this come to a boil and then simmer until the rice is completely dissolved and it looks creamy. You can add bits of leftover meat or fish, leftover veggies or fresh diced or grated veggies.

Season with salt and pepper and whatever else your family likes. This makes 1 cup of rice and a few leftovers make a really good meal. The rice part is called congee and I make it all the time in my crockpot. Just as you said, you can add so many things to it. Great post and comments.

New ideas are always a great resource when money is tight. My meal ideas for times like this are: making a batch of no knead dough which uses only flour, water, salt and yeast.

I make English muffins with it, pizza, and bread. And cheese if i have a little bit. I also make an almost free soup using bits of all leftover veges and beef that I have saved from cooking from weeks prior. Usually I add a can of tomato sauce to this frozen leftover assortment and it is great.

Making a loaf of bread is super frugal for breakfasts just served with jam or as toast. My mom used to make rice and tomatoes and fried potatoes.

She used a can of tomatoes, with salt, pepper, bacon grease and a sprinkle of sugar which we ate over white rice.

For a treat we would have biscuits with molasses or hot chocolate pudding. I think homemade dumplings or noodles in some sort of meat broth, thickened is also super cheap and filling. Some of my favorite meals are those my mom made at the end of her budget!

Simple but good stuff. Fried egg sandwiches are also one of my favorite cheap meals. I like cauliflower, corn, carrot, broccoli blend…add some cooked meat , chicken or pork…cut up in small to med cubes..

aprox 1 chick leg or thigh…is good enough…. cook a few minutes and serve. The burger dog…. fry it and serve on a stick like a corndog or in a bun likes hot dog…..

also if you have a few bucks to spare on a treat. I like hot Cheetos with cone dip. The hot chocolate creates a nice hard shell around the hot Cheetos…. Trust me on this one…the combination is delicious.

Diy sushi bowls. I cook rice with a can of salmon mixed in. Serve with cucumber sticks and seaweed. My kids make their own mini sushi rolls at the table. I always made mac n cheese with wieners that I sliced up and browned in a little margarine.

Mix these together for a pretty darn good, and cheap meal. When I stock up on sales, say ground beef. I fry it all then portion it out for different meals such as taco salad, stew etc.

I label what they are for and freeze. I allot them for times the budget is tight. That way I have easy fix meal ideas already half done and my budget gets a break! Save bacon grease. After cooking bacon, let the grease cool slightly, then strain into a pint jar.

I use a small sieve, but you can also push a coffee filter an inch or so into the jar, then screw on the lid and strain the grease through that. That grease makes veggies taste wonderful, and if you have more month than money, you can use the grease to make gravy.

Even without any meat, gravy served over hot biscuits or rice, or potatoes is very filling! What a wonderful list. There are lots of times when I have to figure out something for dinner on a whim. Too many trips to town eats up too much gas money. I learned living so far out, you plan ahead better.

I typically have dried beef in the freezer and we just have dried beef gravy over toast a lot of times. And we actually like it. Thank you so much for sharing these ideas. I will have to remember these next time we get in a pinch.

I made up an artisan bread recipe that bakes in a loaf pan, it has half whole wheat flour and half unbleached flour, salt, yeast, water. Great way to stretch the budget.

One of our fast foods at end of money is creamed tuna over whole wheat toast, as we usually have cream of chicken soup and tuna in our pantry….. I add lemon pepper to it and a bit of garlic powder.

And always keep an extra loaf of whole wheat bread in the freezer. So amazing the things I learned……my kids say I can make a meal out of practically nothing. Because I based it on wheat, whole grains, dried beans, lentils……. amazing what tasty healthy meals I came up with!!! And to make it into fast food meals: I began planning, cooking, and freezing ingredients ahead.

For example, Italian Stew: grab frozen cooked wheat, frozen cooked lentils, frozen cooked crumbled sausage, a bottle or can of tomatoes, italian seasonings, dried onions and dried garlic bits….. for a super yummy stew….. in fact when I made this stew for a few taste testers, not my family, they went back for seconds and thirds.

Usually will serve it with popovers, or my homemade healthier refrigerator crescent roll recipe that I wanted to have to replace canned refrigerator crescent rolls….. I grew up in South Dakota in the 50s. My parents were early in the process of growing a business.

With 5 kids we had many meals of creamed tuna on toast topped with butter. Also scrambled egg sandwiches dipped in ketchup.

I laugh because my frugal parents worked their way up to millionaires by the s. And I love to eat creamed canned tuna or chicken on toast to remember my carefree childhood growing up in a small South Dakota town.

We also ate powdered sugar plus a tablespoon of milk mixed up on saltine crackers for a treat. We ate apples off our tree. We were in heaven growing up on the beautiful long grass prairie to the sound of the ever present wind.

In the fall everyone raked their leaves into the gutters and lit them on fire for hot dog roasts over the fires on the same day all over town. Greenbean casserole soup! From my counting change for gas years. I used all store bought canned items then.

It was in the s! Can of cream of mushroom soup. Add milk. Add browned ground beef, or other meat. Add a can each of drained potatoes and drained Green beans.

Salt and pepper. Make it as thin as you need to or as thick as you can afford to. This came about when I had 30 bucks for groceries for the whole week for a family of four and that included having to buy diapers for a toddler.

It was at the end of the week and I was rummaging thru what little was in my cupboards trying to figure out how to make an actual meal for four! Also, never forget basic grilled cheese. Have a can of tuna? Turn it into a tuna melt. Good healthy pasta… cheap! Make a small amount of oatmeal without any additives on the stove, allow this to cool.

Now mix with wheat flour until it makes a ball you can roll out. Roll out the dough and place on a heated castiron pancake pan. unoiled allow to cook until brown on one side and flip to cook on the other side. Be careful not to cook too long on either side.

I also make wheat yeast bread and that uses 4 cups wheat flour and 4 cups unbleached white flour. I have a couple of easy recipes 1. chicken mac as we call it lol… I use left over rotesserie chicken but you can use any kind of left over chicken you have on hand. whatever you like 3. about half of a block of velvetta or any kind of cheese you like 4.

spicy potato soup 1. cooked hamburger meat—-or turkey I have never used turkey but you can try if you like too. goulash 1. drain off excess great from meat 2.

cooked noodles we use elbow mac 3. must do a taste test lol. Sure, if all you do is shop a big box store Walmart, Target, fancy grocers and buy name brand, yeah, prices are insane.

Sure, some package sizes have changed, but so have our shopping habits. Where possible, STOP shopping the big box stores and fancy grocery stores. I understand those options are there for convenience as well as for some folks who have disabilities, but those of us that CAN do for ourselves, should.

This website has always been great at highlighting those options. And when you DO buy things like cleaners or soaps, water them down!!!!! Manufacturers rely on consumers not knowing how to do things. Turn your stash into spicy one-pot kimchi and squash mac and cheese , the ultimate comfort food; pantry-staple pasta; or turmeric-infused red lentils and spinach.

The cheap and delicious meal to begin our collection of cheap dinner ideas is comprised of mainly pasta and garlic. Toasted nutritional yeast, full of umami, also pushes this easy recipe into a deeply savory, deeply tasty zone.

The relatively long ingredient list—kidney beans, bell peppers, celery , parsley, rice—might not read as a budget meal, but the most expensive item is the andouille sausage.

Plus, you can feed six people with this one dish. These veggie enchiladas feature a charred tomatillo salsa verde, Cotija cheese, and, yes, creamy pinto beans. That same filling would work well in burritos, too. If there happen to be leftovers, that meat and mozzarella and marinara make for a great sandwich the next day.

Store-bought puff pastry and a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken are two very helpful shortcuts when it comes to this one-pot meal. We also developed a soup version of chicken pot pie , just for fun. Giving chunky zucchini pieces a hard sear develops lots of texture and color while minimizing sogginess.

The dilly sour cream provides a garlicky counterpart. When you need a weeknight-friendly recipe that doubles as a cheap dinner idea, stir-fry is the answer.

Is there ever a bad time for a quesadilla? This one is easy, cheesy, and a smart way to finish up that jar of kimchi hanging out in the fridge. Although we and most of our readers love the mixture of nutritional yeast , garlic powder, and onion powder on these vegan nuggets, one commenter was less impressed.

If you too crave something bolder, try the method with taco seasoning instead. The humble onion is given center stage in this cheap meal. Seared, then gently roasted with paprika and tomato paste, these onions prove they have star quality.

Transform a can of pumpkin purée into a near-instant pasta sauce—no slow cookers here— that delivers major fall feels. Bonus: Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days.

With a generous layer of caramelized onions and plenty of sharp Gruyère cheese, this tart packs the depth of French onion soup into every bite. The tofu in this cheap recipe absorbs all of the flavors in the sauce—and there are a lot of them: shallots, ginger, garlic, cumin, red chile, turmeric, coconut cream , and peanut butter.

It all becomes a sauce you have to make and see to believe. Crunchy fried onions transform a simple cabbage salad into a sensorial delight: hot and cold, crisp and soft, sweet and spicy.

Make sure to assemble it just before eating in order to capture those different textures. When the coffers are dry and so is the bread on the counter, this is the one. This cheap meal requires just a few other ingredients, most of which are already in your kitchen.

A garlicky mixture of ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and maple syrup cooks down until almost sticky in this riff on a Chinese-American classic sesame chicken. An untraditional but logical addition to the sauce: tahini.

You might be surprised by just how flavorful a combination of chicken stock, celery, and chickpeas can be. Garlic, red chiles, lemon, and fresh cilantro contribute to making it so—while still keeping it feeling clean.

If you can swing it, add a big pinch of asafetida for an extra savory note. Quick-cooking, budget-friendly, and pretty hard to screw up that dark meat is automatically juicier , chicken thighs are our default weeknight dinner—and this is our simplest way to prepare them.

These battered, oven-baked florets come out crackly before getting bathed in a sticky-sweet gochujang glaze. It means you have croutons.

Ground turkey is a lean protein that, when simmered with white beans, seasonings, and chipotle chiles in adobo and topped with Greek yogurt, delivers major body and richness. The key to stress-free stir-frying is in the prep work. Be sure to chop, slice, and grate everything before even thinking about turning on the stove.

Once you do, it comes together in 15 minutes. A little bit of flour and butter, garlic, lemon juice, and capers , and you've got a super savory supper. Say that three times fast. This cheap recipe leaves out the smoked pork or turkey, which is typical in the American South, and goes heavy on garlic for flavor.

This all-star easy dinner recipe will work long after corn has gone out of season.
