Budget Recipes

[soup]

I could be wrong but I think most of us have had to live on a tight budget & perhaps still do. Well you still gotta eat but you have to come up with cheap meal ideas especially trying to feed a family. So I am going to start this off & we will see where it goes.

can of corned beef
can of sweetlets or small peas
chopped onion
2 X oxo/12oz water mixed or seasoning from package of noodles/12oz water

Mix everything together in a frying pan & cook. Serve over a bed of the noodles from the package or rice or with any potato you like.

[locoeng]

1 can Hormel Chili (no beans)
1 package cream cheese
1 Bag Frito's Scoops
1 Bag of Shredded cheese

In a pie pan or cassarole dish spread cream cheese evenly on bottom, followed by chili, followed by shredded chesse. Bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Add a dollop of sour cream if you like and scoop away with fritos.

1 Bag Frito's Scoops
1 Bag of Shredded cheese

I do something similar. Chili related, anyway. Great for a college student.

1 can chili (I use Wolf brand with beans)
1 cup Maruchan noodles (typically beef flavored)
1 bag of chili cheese Fritos

Cook the noodles and chili as usual. Drain the noodles and add to the chili. I usually try and cut the noodles up before I start mixing. I don't put the Fritos in, I just eat them on the side. Can also just use bread and make sort of a bread taco.

Before you say "eww", you don't really taste the noodles flavoring. It's just like chili but more filling. You can use Ramen noodles or whatever, too, I just find the cups are easier to work with.

btw, there's a site called "pimp my snack". We should post these there for kicks.
