I like ground venison no fat added, put some olive oil in the pan turn on the heat brown the meat with garlic powder and a chopped onion when just about done you drop in a can of pork and beans. Serve on top of 2 pieces wheat toast. Just about as basic as it gets and allways good. Mb

Yep. One of my favorites is a fried egg sandwich. Or I just do two eggs in a microwave bowl for kinda like a poached egg sandwich. Other favorite cheap meal is a pot of red beans, or as they’re called by most, pinto beans. With some fresh cornbread. 🤠

4 strips for bacon, diced and fried
1/2 onion, diced
1 large potato, diced
1 can canned milk, 1 can chicken broth.
S&P to taste.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for one hour.
Inexpensive to make, and it "sticks to your ribs"

That’s what I usually do for breffes, ‘cept buttered toast. Stupid AMA now admits that dairy fat is heart healthy. No reason to avoid it. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/full-fat-dairy-better-for-you-than-skim

Well of course it’s healthy. Old time farming families survived on it for YEARS. GREAT Grandparents and my Grandmother, all lived into their late 90’s eating the good stuff. Skim milk and all that other fat free schitt is for sissy’s. 🤠

Love Navy Bean Soup with ham hocks. I make it every winter, several times. In fact, just last week I bought some smoked ham hocks and stuck them in the freezer for when the cold weather gets here and I'll make a batch of Navy Bean Soup.

Are y’all talking about those big ole white beans ??? That look like oversized Lima beans but they are white? Mom cooked them with ham hocks when we were kids. She always called them Butter Beans. Damn good when served with hot buttered cornbread.

Hard to beat, but I butter the toast, then lay some fried egg on it, and go to town on it. Great breakfast. PS Anything with eggs is pretty cheap for me, since my hens give me between four and six daily.

No, Navy Beans are small dry white beans. Probably tastes the same as the ones your mom made, though.

Browned up ground meat, can of cheap pork and beans, both on top of crispy fried taters.... Little onion in the meat if you want to be all fancy.....

All of the skin, bones and trimmings from the holiday ham with a bunch of pinto beans (white beans will work too).
Beans or preferably with skillet crusted cornbread.

Bean soup is pretty cheap, if you already have a ham bone. If you don’t, smoked turkey wings, drumsticks, or even necks are usually available soon after the turkey holidays, and do as well. Some chicken broth makes it richer, and an insta-pot cuts the cooking time at least in half.
I’ve also picked up frozen whole turkeys for as little as $.10 a pound or even free, using store points. A free turkey can go a long way too, probably farther than you can stand it unless you freeze some to use later.

Sav A Lot has prime sirloin primals at $4/#. Sirloin isn't my favorite, but this should be good. Primal, bag of taters, mushrooms, butter, garlic, plus some other crap was $60. Pay more than that for supper at Hosses eating Sirloin. Plus have to pay the maifia bitch that brings me my overcooked food.
Today's steak dinner will be cheap. Next one will be free. (Savings covered it)

Marked down fresh turkeys right after Tgiving are great.
Two meals from the sliced breast. A meal from the roasted leg quarters. A soup meal from the carcase and wings.

Just add it to a large pot of water, some pepper corns, some bay leaves, some garlic cloves, salt, carrots, onions, celery, and low boil for six hours.

Two meals from the sliced breast. A meal from the roasted leg quarters. A soup meal from the carcase and wings. You must eat a lot, or have a big family. A normal size turkey would feed a bachelor like me, a week at least!

Any time I've got a big roast, or a turkey, or a ham, I make up a double portion and stick in freezer bags until I'm down to what will last refrigerated until I can eat it all. Then fall back on what I have frozen

Haven't seen any smoked thighs, but I always pick up the fresh ones when I see them. I roast them or have the wife brown them in the insta-pot then pressure cook them with soup fixins’. I’ve become a convert to the Asian method of cooking the noodles or rice separately, then adding the soup when serving. Lets you get both noodle and rice soup from the same batch, and the starch part doesn’t get soggy. We’re making our noodles now too.

A normal size turkey would feed a bachelor like me, a week at least! Family of 4. The fried breast makes 2 meals. We clean that up. The roasted legs make 2 meals. Leftovers Soup for supper, freeze some for later. The trick is catching those birds marked down. They used to do it the day after T-giving. Now they wait.

I grind the leftover holiday ham or turkey, add mayo, mustard, chopped gherkin pickles along with some pickle juice. Sea salt, coarse ground pepper and liquid smoke. Make sandwiches on bread of your choice or eat with crackers.

A bowl of steaming cheesy grits with crumbled bacon or cubed ham mixed in. A drop or 12 of hot sauce, if you're so inclined. Good for any of the three daily meals.

Into a crock pot...
1/2 lb ( half a bag) dry lentils -big can ( 28oz? 32 oz?) diced tomatoes -fill empty can with watef, add to pot. - cook until lentils are tender, low or high heat depending on your timing).
That's all you need, but can also add fresh spinach, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese ( parmesan reggianno), but adding these takes it out of the "low cost" category.
