What's your Poor Man's Food?

Mine used to be super cheap jar of prego sauce and a big bunch of cheap spaghetti noodles. Usually get 2-4 meals out of about $4 worth of food. Used to ALWAYS be someone who had the Big Jar on sale and then the couple of pounds of the store brand noodles.

 

Chernobyl....

 

ramen w/ squeeze cheese, cut up beef summer sausage and flaming hot cheetos

 

Wow that sounds like a toilet rocker meal.

 

Baked potato with butter/salt/tabasco/pickled jalapenoes and a can of corn beef hash.

 

Looks like dog food ... Government cheese with a lb of hamburger, bought a $2 bag of tortilla chips and a jar of jalapenos. Spent $10, will get 3 meals out of it. $3.33 per meal .. done in my rv .. I am trying to stay frugal when working out of town

 

Looks like dip.

 

just made some quick nachos, took less than 15 min or so

 

How bad were the squirts?

 

I grew up eating government cheese, I am immune to said squirts

 

I am a big fan of canned sardines and anchovies with Ritz crackers.

 

Pour yourself a bowl full of Cornflakes, and crush them up a little with your hands. Add lots of milk, and put them in the fridge to soften. Take 1/2 of a banana, and mash it up with a fork till it's a banana paste. Then, mix in a couple of heaping spoonfuls of mayonnaise. Slap 1-2 slices of bread into the banana mixture and cut it into pieces. Take the Cornflakes out of the fridge, and prepare to sit down to a FANTASTIC meal. You'll want to take a big bite of the bread mixture, and while your chewing on that go ahead and take a big bite of Cornflakes...YUMMY! Try it, and I bet you'll like it. This meal is called: "Cornflakes and Mashed Banana."

 

Throw any leftover chicken into a small pot, saute with any available oil, throw in garlic powder, pepper and any spices you like, dump a can of cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas and corn. Heat it through and serve with rice.
Quick, easy, tasty. My girls love it! We call it chicken delight.

 

Kraft mac and cheese with shredded mild cheddar melted on top like a casserole

Interesting. What's the texture like? Velveeta?
