What's your Poor Man's Food?

Mine is, Hormel Chili with No Beans, Poor Man's Burrito!

Final result of Hormel with Chili No Beans, with Mission Tortillias, Cheddar Cheese, Mayonaise and Ketchup (secret sauce).

 

In Boy Scouts- Dinty Moore Beef Stew, had at least one can of it on every camp out

In college- boxes and boxes of macaroni & cheese

Now- protein powder in milk, unsliced multi-grain bread (plain- no butter, no nothin')

 

Ramen soup with some cayanne pepper and a grille cheese sandwich.

 

peanut butter of a natural variety

 

I'm not sure how I ended up reading this and even less why I watched all 4 videos about a ghetto burrito lol.
But for me its pb&j (three breads, double pb&j), ramen and or canned pasta (raviolis, spaghettios).
O and I got the same microwave lol

 

For me I'm thinking talopia with kale & spaghetti squash. I'm thinking that's the cheapest meal I'd consider still to be healthy.

 

In the Southeast, you hear a lot of folks that grew up during or shortly after the Great Depression tell of having meals of cornbread crumbled in a glass with buttermilk poured over it.

I have tried it before too and it is surprisingly good, that is if you like both buttermilk and cornbread.

 

Corndogs wrapped in tinfoil heated up on top of the motor while wheelin'.

 

spam.

 

Chicken nuggets with some Franks and ranch dressing.

 

Ramen for sure. If I'm lucky, maybe a cut up hotdog in it.

 

Spam musubi!

Sliced spam, fried and then wrapped in rice and nori.

Da best!

 

Spam for me as well. pan fried, and served with rice. maybe a fried egg.

or spam fried rice. if i'm really broke..well, when i WAS broke. (hope i'm never broke again)..it was just a fried egg over rice and a splash of soy sauce.

 

thanks for everyone who has posted so far! keep it up!

 

mustard in a tortilla. coors original.

 

Chicken breast in crock pot, covered in cream of chicken soup, topped with ramen noodles crushed up. Cook 6 to 8 hours (add sour cream for last 15 minutes if its fancy food night) then stir into chicken noodle mush in a bowl, eat. Or use as dip or filling for sandwich or burrito.

Often did this in my studio in college. Could eat for less than $1.50. Would be the dinner to my off brand cereal, and sandwich day. Got my good food at show openings and gallery nights. Artist will mooch food like racoons.

Today, sweet potato soup. Its another add food to pot and walk away thing.

 

My go to, poor man's ghetto food is bacon wrapped filet mignon with a side of baked Alaskan crab.
The cheapo smaller portions of roe from anything not on the endangered list. And ofcourse some ghetto cheap $700 champagne.

Muffy, can you bring me another gin fiz dahling.

 

Actually, its not something I make at home. But our local gas station/conv store has a wicked traditional Cuban sandwich that they serve in a brown paper bag for like $3.00.

 

I make grilled cheese with corn tortillas w/ splash of sriracha or
beans & rice w/ splash of sriracha

 

Corn flakes, i'm not much of a cook and i love corn flakes. I usually eat it for dinner if i'm in the "dog house".
