Re: What is your cheapest recipe?
Salsa Chicken- put chicken- get parts on the bone and take the skin off, put in a slow cooker- You can get cheap salsa on sale.
You can also do cream of mushroom this way .
Sloppy Joes-
- beef
- ketchup
- mustard
- onions
- hamburger rolls
Brown the beef and add onions. Once the onions are soft, mix in ketchup and mustard. Serve on a hamburger roll. Sometimes I will make buttered noodles, too.
spaghetti with homemade sauce.
chicken breasts on the bone covered with white wine and seasoned with salt and pepper. ?Cook for 50-60 minutes at 350. ?Serve with potatoes or other veggie of your choice.?
Black bean avocado quesidillas.
Can of black beans (drained), lime juice, salt, chopped onion, chopped avocado on tortillas w/ s. cream. Sometimes I will add cooked or grilled shrimp. But, of course that is more expensive...
Tuna melts are great and quick. Can of tuna made the way you like. Put on a piece of bread w/ tomato and cheese and broil. yummy!
Do the salsa chicken as stated above and serve over white rice mixed with some salsa. If you have some cheese in the house (i buy blocks of cheddar and shred it myself) sprinkle some in the rice too.
I also do a pound of ground beef browned mixed with white rice, salsa and cheese. If we are lucky I'll get tortilla chips and eat the mix with them.
Another is beef tips and noodles.
1.5 lbs stew meat
Packet of beef gravy
cream of mushroom soup (any cream of XXX will work)
wide noodles ( about 2 cups)
Make the gravy - and the stew meat cover and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Cook noodles as directed on package. Add the cream of mushroom, continue to cook for 5 mins. Mix in cooked noodles and serve.
Chicken cheddar broccoli over rice.
take a whole fryer chicken crock pot it in chicken broth for 8-10 hours I also add pepper, garlic and dill.
About an hour out use the bear creek broccoli cheddar soup mix and ine to tweo broccoli heads, prepare the soup mix according to directions and cook the broccoli seprately to your taste ( soft, crunchy, etc)
Add broccoli to soup mix and simmer till ready to use.
Take chicken out of Crock pot and pull apart removing the bones and skin. Add to soup mixture, or depending on your tastes take out half of soup mixture and then add chicken (depend on how much sauce you like)
Serve over rice
