I love to make big, fancy meals, but I am on a very tight budget. I am looking for somewhat easy, but delicious recipes that I can prepare on a tight budget. My husband is somewhat picky, but he does love potatoes, turkey, pizza/italian stuff, he dislikes most veggies...hope that helps a little, but any recipes would be greatly appreciated!Delicious, but cheap family recipes?
Rice and Chili Burritos! No veggies about it, but if you use whole grain ingredients it's healthier!

Shepherd's Pie
http://www.recipezaar.com/72746
*This recipe is great, but shepherd's pie can be made simply with mashed potatoes, ground beef, shredded cheese and corn*
Lasagna
1 lb lean ground beef
1 (20 ounce) can pasta sauce
1 lb curly pasta (or your favorite shape, whole grain adds a nice taste)
1 egg
1 1/2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 lb grated cheese
Brown meat in a skillet. Drain fat from meat (I usually rinse it under warm water.). Meanwhile, boil noodles according to package directions (its OK if they're a little underdone.). Meanwhile mix the egg and cottage cheese in a bowl, and set aside. Spray a 9x13 pyrex. Coat the bottom with a very thin layer of pasta sauce. Layer about half of the noodles on top of the sauce. Layer the meat on top of that, followed by another thin layer of sauce. Layer the cottage cheese mixture on top of that, followed by the remaining noodles. Add the remaining sauce on top of the noodles (I prefer it thin on top, so that the noodles get crispy-chewy.) Sprinkle all of the cheese on top of the lasagna. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes depending on how crunchy you like your noodles. I have found that half of a container of cottage cheese is perfect, so I usually go ahead and mix the remaining half with an egg, and freeze it. It defrosts quite easily in the fridge next time.
I also usually buy the meat on sale in bulk, and freeze it in pre-cooked portions. If you do that, you can easily put this meal together quickly. It's also easy to make 2 lasagnas at once, and freeze one for later. You can reheat it in the microwave, or in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes, covered.
Stroganoff
1 lb hamburger
1 dash garlic salt
8 ounces egg noodles
2 (12 ounce) cans tomato juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
In a 10-inch skillet with lid, brown hamburger and add garlic salt. Poor noodles on top. Do not mix. Mix sauce and tomato juice; pour over noodles. Cover and simmer until noodles are soft, about 30 minutes. After noodles are soft, stir and remove from heat. Serve hot.

ITALIAN MUFFALETTA
1 sm. jar olive oil
1 lg. salad olives
2 tsp. oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. parsley
Mix all above ingredients (don't drain olives). Let set.
Po-boy (French) bread
Ham
Hard salami
Swiss cheese
Shredded lettuce
Slice bread. Spoon sauce mixture on bread. Top with cheese, ham, salami and lettuce.
HUNGARIAN GOULASH
Take equal amounts of boneless chuck and onions for this recipe. Example:
2 1/2 lb. meat
2 1/2 lb. onions
Salt, pepper (to taste)
Hungarian sweet paprika (do not substitute)
Cut meat into bite-size pieces and brown in garlic flavored oil. Add onion slices to the meat. Cover and COOK UNTIL THE ONIONS COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR!
Add salt and pepper, then add the Hungarian sweet paprika until the mixture takes on a reddish color. Thickness of the goulash is adjusted by adding water. Serve with poppy seed noodles.
for dessert, make crescent rolls into cone shapes and fill with chocolate pudding or pumpkin/cool whip filling and top with powdered sugar
You can make many cassaroles,
1Tuna ( I make this by boiling egg noodles (1 - 1 1/2 #) then add 1 can cream of whatever soup, and 1/2 can of milk (water works) then add 2 small cans of tuna (drained and rinsed to get the disgusting can taste out) then pour into greased baking dish, top with cheese, bake @325 10- 15 untill melted and bubbly.
2 you can make meat and potatoes, by browning meat, add seasoning (2-3 T of taco seasoning plus you can doctor it up) and add chopped potatoes. then cover with water (potatoes and meat) add onion (1/2 med.) and you should be good to go!!! This is a mexican dish that is used when you are on a tight budget.
The other day it was simple i took a nice bun and placed warm turkey on it and poured gravy over it to make open face turkey sandwiches for dinner it was delish!!
i have taken ground beef and mushroom gravy (you can use any kind) and then layer it with taters and corn if he eats that i layer it will veggies and have mashed potatos on top and brown in oven...its good.
Saute veggies you husband does like (onions, carrots, peas, celery, broccoli, corn- maybe) in a pan until just tender. Remove and saute diced or strips of chicken, if desired. In a bowl mix 1 can of campbells healthy request cream of chicken soup, 1 can of water (stir together) and add veggies (and meat) and 1 box of stovetop stuffing (wheat, prefered). Transfer to a casserole dish coated in cooking spray. Bake according to instructions for casseroles on box.
The cheapest meals, though are simple: chicken, salmon (buy frozen, its more expensive than chicken, but less expensive than beef), baked, a veggie, and maybe cooked rice, or slice of whole grain bread and butter. Serve with a glass of skim milk. Make sure your kids get veggies, even if Dad doesn't. If you're going to serve pasta, try those made with whole grains (more expensive than regular, but cheaper than most meals). Mix it up by baking 1/2 cooked ziti, sauce with part-skim mozzerella (faux lasagna). Stir in diced tomatoes to sauce for extra tomato-power.
On kraft.com they have weekly menus. There are a lot of good ideas on there, some meals are under $5 to prepare.
One of the recipes are ham%26amp;cheese casserole. I tried it, it was pretty good.
Ck out that website.
Johnny Marzetti
1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or whatever you like)
1 small yellow onion, finely minced
1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 lb short pasta like macaroni or farfalle (do not use long pasta like spaghetti)
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (substitute tomato juice of plain tomato sauce if you like)
8 oz cheddar cheese (substitute colby if you like)
freshly grated parmesan to taste
Cook the pasta according to package directions and your own preference. Brown the meat with the onion and garlic. Drain and discard the liquid. Stir the spaghetti sauce into the meat, and simmer till the pasta is done and drained. Combine the pasta, cheese, and meat sauce. Top with parmesan. Serve with a salad.
Remember, if you use turkey or chicken, you need to season the meat more than if you use beef. You can substitute other cheeses, different shapes of pasta, and different tomato products to get slight variations. I do not recommend using a long pasta or a stringy cheese because it becomes too messy.
Osso bucco, stewed with tomatos on mashed potatoes or creamed polenta ... MMMM

What are some good, healthy recipes that are cheap and easy to make?
I'd like to lose weight over this summer and I need some good, healthy recipes for good food that's low in calories and possibly high in protein (doesn't matter). I like carbs and meats, but not veggies :)
Any good, healthy recipes that are easy to cook? Thanks for your help!What are some good, healthy recipes that are cheap and easy to make?

It is good re-heated also.What are some good, healthy recipes that are cheap and easy to make?
To make cinnamon/spice cake muffins.
Ingredients.
One box of spice cake
One of the small cans of pumpkin

(it will have a thick lumpy consistency)
Fill muffin wrappers (sprayed with Pam) with the mix about 3/4 full

Anyone have recipes for a cheap dinner that will keep well in the freezer for 3-5 days?
Ingredients must be inexpensive. I can get pasta or ground turkey/ground beef for cheap.
The youth group I lead is meeting on Thursday evening for one hour, and we are all going to make and take home a meal to stick in the freezer until Sunday so their moms don't have to cook on Mother's Day.
Any recipes?Anyone have recipes for a cheap dinner that will keep well in the freezer for 3-5 days?
NAVY MINCED BEEF (SOS)
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons flour
2 28 oz cans tomatoes, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground mace, nutmeg, or cloves
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Saute beef and onions until beef browns slightly.
Stir, breaking apart. Drain excess fat.
Sprinkle flour over beef. Add remaining ingredients and combine well.
Simmer an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve over biscuits, toast, rice or pasta.Anyone have recipes for a cheap dinner that will keep well in the freezer for 3-5 days?
spaghetti or lasagna either one-- you can cook each like you were going to severe it, and then freeze it and reheat-- you may need to add additional sauce or cheese on sunday, but both are easy and cheap to make
for lasagna:
ground turkey or beef
get oven ready noodles (don't get the kind you have to boil)
spaghetti sauce
ricotta cheese
shredded pizza style cheese (or mozarella)
and most importantly a foil pan!!
brown meat
spread some sauce on bottom of pan.... lay one layer of noodles meat, ricotta, and more sauce-- then another layer of noodles meat, ricotta, and suace-- you can continue to do that until you have run out of ricotta-- the last layer is noodles, meat, sauce, and then top with the shredded cheese--- bake at 350 or so until cheese has melted and starts to brown on the edges-- then freeze and reheat on sunday
I like Sheperd's Pie, and it has all your basic food groups in it; plus it takes about 20-30 minutes to make.
For a 9 x 13 pan, brown 1 lb. ground beef or turkey (I use ground turkey usually) with a small chopped onion and garlic clove.
After it is cooked, add 1 bag or 2 cans of mixed vegetables, and 2 cups of beef gravy (or I use a combo of cream of whatever soup and a cup of beef boullion from powder.
Put in the casserole dish, top with instant mashed potatoes that you have made according to the package, and if you want, some shredded cheese.
Bake until hot and bubbly.
I make several of these at a time and freeze them.
BEEF STROGANOFF
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 bag wide egg noodles
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 oz) canister of sour cream
Brown beef, drain. Boil pasta, drain. Combine all ingredients in one pan, simmer until its hot. You're DONE! =)
EASY AND CHEAP!
Happy mothers day!!

Really cheap recipes?
I have about 20-25 dollars that needs to be able to feed 2 people for one week. I know we are really pushing it but can anyone give me recipes for really cheap meals?Really cheap recipes?
Cook with Campbells soups. Most cans have 1-2 recipes right on them.
My favorite is salisbury steaks
1# ground beef
a can of cream of mushroom soup
mushrooms, fresh or canned work
bread crumbs
1/4 cup onion
1 egg
Mix beef with 1/4 can of soup, bread crums, egg and onion. Fry until brown.
Pour rest of soup and mushrooms on top, simmer until cooked through.Really cheap recipes?
This is a great source for cheap recipes:

Good luck!
OK, buy a 5# log of ground beef. That's about $10. It's good for so many things. And don't use a whole pound when a recipe calls for it. Use about 8-12 oz. to make it last longer. Pasta is cheap. When I'm penny-pinching I make spaghetti one night, and the leftovers go into a baking dish, covered in cheese and black olives and baked the next day. That's 3 days of food right there. A bagged salad is only about $3. Another favorite is Zatarains box mixes. One box of their black beans and rice, or dirty rice (with the burger) lasts us another 2 days. Buy canned stuff on sale, which may or may not be store brands. And when all else fails, get a box of Hamburger Helper. That lasts us 2 days too. Good luck, we pinch pennies right about when the rent is due.

Oatmeal w/peanut butter
Ramen noddles w/frozen mixed veg. %26amp; hamburger
Tuna w/rice %26amp; cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup
Jello w/mixed fruit
Pot pies are cheap
Hot dogs %26amp; bread
For $20 to deal with for a week, you won't get a lot of variety, but mix %26amp; match the above %26amp; you'll survive.
I'll give you the ideas, you can look up the recipes, if needed. Hotdogs browned, then simmered in baked beans, serve with pickles and chips. A tuna or chicken noodle casserole, Canned Spam, browned and served with sauteed cabbage and potato. Hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes, canned green beans or peas. Eggs, bacon, grilled tomato slices, toast. Stirfry of any meat you have with a can of chow mein veggies on rice. Soups %26amp; salads!
Of course you can. The key is to make your protein go really far. Generally Americans eat too much anyway, a serving of protein is only about the size of a deck of cards.
It might get a little monotonous, but you will definitely make it through the week. Buy a family pack of bone in thighs and legs. You should be able to get a mixed pack, if not you will probably have to pick one. I can generally get one for less than $5. This will be plenty of protein for your dinners. My family packs generally have 6 legs and 6 thighs. I prefer thighs, but the kids like the legs. This will make you at least 4 cheap meals for about $10. First, just bake four pieces. Season it with whatever you have in the house. Bake at 350. Serve with some veggies and buttered egg noodles. A whole large bag of egg noodles is less than a dollar. Don't buy a whole bag. One large baking potato diced up and sauteed or roasted will be fine for you. Also, buy a bag of veggies instead of just a box. Once you have eaten the chicken boil the bones in salted water. Start with one gallon of water and try to end with about 1 quart. Season with at least salt and pepper, but again, if you have garlic, thyme, onions, carrots, etc, it will give you more flavor. Add the veggies last so they don't turn to mush, For lunch the next day add the any extra chicken you have and some egg noodles to the stock and eat a big bowl of soup.
Another easy chicken dish is do take the skin off the chicken brown with salt and pepper and add 1 can of diced tomatoes. Serve over pasta. Again, if you have any other appropriate seasonings it would be good. Adding onions and peppers would be delish. You can serve this over egg noodles, or elbows that you can use later in the week : )
Also bbq chicken. Get the cheapest bbq sauce you can, my store brand is fine and less than $1. I sautee the salt and peppered chicken just until brown then add equal parts of bbq sauce and water. Cover and let simmer about 1/2 hour. It's really tender and good. Again, I pull the skin off. Serve with veggies and oven fries. Just toss some 1 large potato in some oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for about 1/2 hour.
Alright, you're probably tired of chicken by now, depending on how much you all eat, you might have some leftovers.
Now well fill in the other nights with your other $10. First get a can of tuna. And just make a tuna salad with mayo, onions, peppers, relish, a hard boiled egg, whatever you have. Top with a chopped up tomatoe for a little more brightness. Use 3/4 of the can with 1/2 a box of macaroni. The other half of the can use for a tuna sandwich the next day.
Grocery list:
Family pack of chicken $5
Egg noodles $1
Can of tomatoes $1
Potato $1
Can of tuna $1
Tomato $1
Bbq Sauce $1
Eggs $2
Bread $1
Bag of Frozen Veggies $2
1 each onion and pepper $2
Elbow noodles $1
You have 3 more dollars to keep you about 20 to pick up extra things. For example you might need mayo. Make egg salad for lunch, eggs on bread for breakfast, eat all your leftovers. You might even want to throw a pack of hotdogs in there and an extra potatoes for that type of night. I don't want hot dogs all the time, but when the time needs, I do it. Also, if you like get a small container of rice crispys. You can have breakfast and splurge on a small container or marshmellows for some rice crispy treats. I still think you are under $25.
Happy eating.

Easy, cheap & quick recipes for college student?
I'm a full-time college student with a crazy schedule. I live with my fiance and we just spend way too much on groceries, yet end up with barely any food that lasts us more than a few days.
I'd like some recipes that are healthy, quick, easy, but also cheap to buy the food for. Also, we'd like a variety of foods- not just Ramen cooked 500 different ways. haEasy, cheap %26amp; quick recipes for college student?
Budget Minded Recipes
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot
sauce....presto ';Hot
Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed
Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages?
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops鈥?boneless pork chops鈥?.pork steak.
How about Vienna Sausages ?? Ummm!

Enjoy!
Canned:corn...peas...carrots...gr.bean鈥?(any variety)...lima beans...wax beans...tomato (any variety)...potatoes (whole or sliced...or both whatever you like)....You get the idea....lol.

Pat in Indiana鈥?Easy, cheap %26amp; quick recipes for college student?
Not sure I can begin to compete with PattsyWattsy's monster response (bravo Pattsy!), but the one suggestion I will make is the Italian pasta recipe I wish I'd known at college...
This was taught to me by my Italian mamma-in-law Marisa: it takes just 10 minutes and it's delicious... I call it 'breakfast pasta'.
* Boil up a pan of boiling water, containing two handfuls of salt (to bring out the taste), and throw your pasta in.
* Melt an ounce or two of butter in a frying pan. (And if you have any medium-hard cheese, chop this into 1cm cubes and place in a mixing bowl.)
* When the pasta is done, drain it, put it in the mixing bowl and pour over the melted butter.
* Give it all a good stir to coat the pasta and serve with a fried egg on top.
Sounds simple, because it IS simple, and it tastes absolutely divine!
Actually, I have more equally-simple recipes on this page here, which maybe you'll find useful: http://www.pasta-recipes-made-easy.com/easy-pasta-recipes.html
Buon appetito!
Try pasta salads as well as hot, same with rice - really nice in salad!
You can stuff like tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers. green beans are really nice in a salad with olives and feta. Courgette crumble...peel courgettes and place at bottom of a dish, cover with dollops of garlic cream cheese and then sprinkle a mixture (mix before hand) of flour, egg, bread crumbs and parmasan so its all crumbly...on top and bake for 20 mins...awesome
Checken breast marinated overnight in lemon juice, chilli, ginger and sesame oil. Bake for 20 mins or until done and serve with salad...bad ***

http://www.recipezaar.com/Salmon-Patties鈥?/a>
these looked tasty and very easy. also the highest rated on the siteWhat are some good cheap salmon patty recipes?
For a can of Salmon I blend in well, chopped green bell peppers, sometimes a Jalape帽o, chopped onion (sweet), 1 egg, Italian Style bread crumbs (these have Parmesan Cheese in them with the seasonings) and the Salmon (cleaned of skin and bones. I add the juice of the Salmon also.
Mix well and form into patties and fry them in oil. Not too much oil, you don't want them to float but enough to cook them well. I like using Crisco because it fries evenly.
I use one can salmon take bones out and keep juice, put in a large bowl...
add one egg
one small to medium diced onion
one small diced green pepper
1/4 cup flour
mix all together, rinse and dry hands,
Preheat cooking oil in skillet, maybe 1/4 '; deep to medium high heat not to hot,but enough your patties won't absorb the oil
Make patties in your hands and lay in hot oil, fry on each side till golden brown..remove and place on paper towels
(Tarter Sauce, save some of your diced onion, a tbsp of pickle relish(we prefer sweet) but you can use dill if its you prefer...and mayonise, mix and refrigerate till ready
I don't do hard things... try this.
SALMON PATTIES
1 (1 lb.) can salmon
1 egg
3/4 c. milk
3/4 c. cracker crumbs
1 tsp. chopped onions
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. flour
Mix together all ingredients. Use butter or shortening and brown in skillet on both sides. Makes 6 to 8 patties.
For Variety, add 1 Tbls Worcestershire Sauce, or 陆 tsp dill weed.
Hambone 2's recipe sounds about perfect, but all of them forgot to say to serve them with creamed peas.
You gotta have the creamed peas...

Good ideas for cheap but appealing recipes?
I love to cook and my family is used to having nice meals a lot. But, my hubby lost his job last week, and we really need to tighten our belts and save money, especially on our grocery bill. I'd like to still make appealing things, and not depress the crew further with cheap looking or tasting food.
Does anyone have a favorite budget recipe they can share? I feed 2 adults and a sixteen year old girl.
Thanks for any tips!Good ideas for cheap but appealing recipes?
When you're on a tight budget, try to shop for at least a week at a time. Things to buy and freeze: ground beef (for burgers %26amp; meatloaf); chicken breasts; pork chops; fish (tilapia is cheap and good); spinach or wheat pasta; jar of pasta sauce; frozen meatballs (really good and can be added to canned pasta sauce after they are microwaved); whole-grain or brown instant rice; couscous; canned corn and peas; frozen broccoli, spinach, and brussel sprouts. You'll need to buy lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., for salads So now, put these items together in appealing ways. For example, a meal could consist of pork chops, corn, and spinach with a cucumber %26amp; tomato salad. Or another meal could be fish, brussel sprouts and rice; and another could be spaghetti and meatballs with bread %26amp; salad; another, meatloaf, couscous and peas. I always try to have a protein, starch %26amp; vegetable. These are just simple foods, but served with a smile, they become elevated to gourmet. Good luck to you and your family.Good ideas for cheap but appealing recipes?

or you can go out to eat at a nice resturant that doesnt have high prices.
Fried rice is cheap...a little meat goes a long way.debt consolidation

Things to buy and freeze: ground beef (for burgers %26amp; meatloaf); chicken breasts; pork chops; fish (tilapia is cheap and good); spinach or wheat pasta; jar of pasta sauce; frozen meatballs (really good and can be added to canned pasta sauce after they are microwaved); whole-grain or brown instant rice; couscous; canned corn and peas; frozen broccoli, spinach, and brussel sprouts. You'll need to buy lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., for salads So now, put these items together in appealing ways. For example, a meal could consist of pork chops, corn, and spinach with a cucumber %26amp; tomato salad. Or another meal could be fish, brussel sprouts and rice; and another could be spaghetti and meatballs with bread %26amp; salad; another, meatloaf, couscous and peas. I always try to have a protein, starch %26amp; vegetable. These are just simple foods, but served with a smile, they become elevated to gourmet. Good luck to you and your family.Good ideas for cheap but appealing recipes?
bread :D
or you can go out to eat at a nice resturant that doesnt have high prices.
Fried rice is cheap...a little meat goes a long way.
What are some cheap and easy recipes, that feed plenty?
I live in a house of three bachelors (with a appetite of six) and myself, and we are just poor college kids right now...I make things like tacos and burritos allot, they are affordable, but are getting way over done. p.s. I hate tomato sauceWhat are some cheap and easy recipes, that feed plenty?
I used to mix tuna and mac%26amp;cheese. Ramon noodles are always cheep. Hamburger helper is cheap. You could always look at foodnetwork.comWhat are some cheap and easy recipes, that feed plenty?
Your best bet is to use meat as a flavoring, rather than a main ingredient. Use rice, pasta, and/or veggies as extenders.
For example, cut two boneless chicken breasts into chunks or strips. Stir fry until done, and remove from the pan. Prepare a bag of frozen stir fry veggies according to the directions, and add the meat until heated through. Season with teryaki sauce, and serve over rice.
Or, cut a pound of flank steak into small cubes and brown lightly in oil. Add a package of Mrs. Grass' Soup starter and the amount of water that the directions indicate. Simmer until the meat is tender. You can add left-over veggies or some extra noodles to extend the number of servings.
Cook some egg noodles in a can of chicken broth, then add diced cooked chicken (you can use the already prepared Tyson strips), some chunks of carrots, a small can of peas, and a little bit of onion and celery. Simmer until the veggies are done and season with salt, pepper, and a little onion and garlic powder.
A canned ham is a good choice, too. Bake a five pound canned ham and slice part of it for one meal. Serve with baked potatoes and a veggie. Cut the remaining ham into cubes and add some to a pan of scalloped potatoes made from a boxed mix.
Or, season a large jar of Northern beans with ham chunks, diced onion, and a diced carrot. Serve with corn bread made from a packaged mix.
Other things that are cheap and good are chef salads, mac and cheese with hot dogs cut up in it, and your favorite pasta with cooked broccoli, some cubed chicken and a jar of Alfredo sauce.
These are all easy, quick recipes that don't cost much to make and are very filling. And best of all. . .no tomato sauce in any of them!
If you need more recipe ideas, email me. My husband and I were so poor in college that we actually celebrated the year that we broke poverty level for the first time.
pasta is always good and goes far
Been there!
Chili is good. Pasta is always good. You can try some baked pasta dishes as well.
And plain ol cheeseburgers are good too. With some Mac n cheese.
I have a recipe called ';Cowboy dinner'; I think if you google it you should find the recipe for it. It is a casserole type thing.
Basically it is:
Ground Beef (cooked)
Can of corn
Salsa
Cornbread Mix (make the batter)
cheddar cheese
Cook meat and drain. put it in a 13 x 9 pan; pour in drained corn; salsa
Spread cornbread mix on top; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the bread is browned on top and cheese melted.
You can make more or less depending.
I have a few others too.
Email me if you would like them.
Spaghetti either with or without meat. You can make cream sauces from either packets or by hand (jar stuff is pricey).
Macaroni %26amp; Cheese and ground beef (mix together).
Top Ramen (some like it, some don't....I could live on the stuff!).
Sandwiches...especially something like tuna.
Make up a very large pot of spaghetti, add sauce , and make a garlic bread to go with it, take the bread and slice in 1/2 spread garlic butter on it
salads, make them very big. ( a lot of lettuce, spinach, other greens) and add chicken/meat to it as well as tons and tons of veggies.
also pasta/rice. add vegetables to it when cooking. frozen work well such as peas,carrots, brocolli, etc.
Breakfast is by far the cheapest meal of the day and so easy to make.....and seriously do you take time to eat it in college because we never did! Make things like eggs, pancakes, french toast, biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns are super simple and yummy too! Breakfast meat can get pricey but just add it when you can......if you make pancakes you can buy the just add water type for a buck a box and then you can afford to do a package or two of bacon. Also try doing things like hot wings or bbq wings they sometimes run those on sale to buy the wings or legs and they work great for that too.......just use your deepfryer or a pan on the stove.........just be careful and don't overfill so you burn your house down. Also what about hamburger helper or tuna helper? They make great flavors of those or even fish sticks.........I am almost thirty and I love those with mac and cheese and peas and what a cheap meal! Good luck

What are some cheap mexican recipes?
I have a project in school and I need to know different types of food mainly served in Mexico so that I can make them and serve them to the class. I don't know any recipes though or what to make so does anyone know any recipes that are cheap, easy to make, and taste good?
I'm looking to serve this to about 20 people so it would be helpful if the recipes were things like queso that you could just scoop on a plate, and serve with chips. Thanks in advanced.What are some cheap mexican recipes?
EASY MEXICAN RICE
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 cup of long grain rice
2 1/2 cups cold water
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. garlic salt or 1 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 cup of tomato sauce
In a skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add rice and cook until lightly browned. Add water and remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer until rice is tender.What are some cheap mexican recipes?
*1 Lime
*1 Corona
(repeat as necessary)
spinach con queso dip
cooked spinach,pepper jack cheese, little milk and melt together over low heat
http://www.mexicanmeals.net/
This is the BEST recipe, authentic and super easy. I'll even give it to you in a large portion
Mexican Beans
3 large cans of pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
1 white onion, quartered
4-6 cloves garlic
Enough vegetable broth to BARELY cover beans (important)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp Mexican chili powder
2/3 tsp Mexican oregano (ground)
Salt and pepper to taste
Put all ingredients in a stock pot, bring to a boil then simmer on low for 30 minutes. Transfer to blender or food processor in batches and blend until smooth. (that is the only semi-difficult part- I use a hand immersion blender- but it is worth it).
I make this all the time (in smaller batches) and everyone is very impressed with it, they are like, ';you made that!? It tastes just like its from a Mexican restaurant.'; And it is super easy.
(usually you can get these spices by the produce in the grocery store in little bags for like 99 cents a piece-- or try Wallgreens they usually have spices for 99 cents a piece, too, though I don't know they'll have Mexican chili powder. You can, if you must, use regular chili powder, but the oregano must be ground oregano, not the Italian leaf style)

What are easy, cheap, dinner meal recipes for a college student to make?
I'm a college student and I like to cook meals, I am just out of ideas. I've cooked chicken with mixed bbq and mesquite seasoning breading. Also lemon pepper season with chicken. Anyone else have good recipes.
P.S. I don't like sea food.What are easy, cheap, dinner meal recipes for a college student to make?
Super-easy: baked chicken (boneless chicken thighs with salt and pepper, baked 10 minutes at 200C/400F), steamed broccoli or spinach (put in a steamer with boiling water for 3-4 minutes) and oven fries (shoestring potatoes, tossed in olive oil, seasoned with season salt, and baked for 10 minutes at 200/400 -- can go in with the chicken). Elegant and easy!
Chili dogs. Potato salad with fried chicken. Tuna casserole (-:. Spaghetti and meatballs (bake the meatballs -- it's super easy that way! And no burning!). Salad Nicoise (basically, a can of tuna, some boiled potatoes, green beans, pretty veggies like radish or carrot slices, some cheese, whatever). Chef salad. Beef stew.
Bon appetite!What are easy, cheap, dinner meal recipes for a college student to make?
i suggest a lasagna.
you can freeze it and have it for a few meals and it is so good.
you can make it healthy by putting lean meat and fat free cheese and milk if you are worried about your that.
500g meat(minced)
2 cans of diced tomatoes
pepper
herbs
2 1/2 cups of milk
1 1/2 of cheese
1 carrot
zucchinni if you like
onion
lasagna sheets
3 large tbl spoons of tomato paste
cook up meat with a little oil with onion.
add tomatoes and carrots and all other veggies you put in.
stir around till covered
use the empty tomato cans and put a small amount of water in them and swill around to get the remaining tomato and add a bit of liquid.
add pepper and herbs
let it simmer for a while
sauce
sift flour into saucepan(optional, might get some lumps away quicker)_
then add the milk and stir around until thickening slightly, add cheese and some pepper and keep stirring until at a good consistency, like pourable but not too liquidyy.
then lay a layer of meat onto bottom then sheet of lasagna, then some white sauce and meat, then sheet, keep going until all used up.
put in oven on 180/190 for 30-40 minutes, sometimes less.
before you put it into the freezer let it cool so it doesn't poison you.
hope you like it:D it is very yummy and easy.
:D
put tomato paste in
Most expensive is red meat, buy the minimum %26amp; cheapest cuts.
Stew or braise those for the most flavour, with lots of veggies.
The basic 4 are potatoes, onions, carrots, %26amp; celery.
Get a variety of colours in other veggies: greens, yellows, etc.
Substitute chicken or turkey (ground) for hamburger meat.
Choose fish at least once a week, if only canned tuna.
Banquet Home Style Bakes would be great as they contain everything you need, including meat. They are really good and would probably give you two meals from one box. The Cheesy Hash Browns with Ham and Creamy Turkey with Stuffing is delicious.
Grilled cheese mm super yummy never getting tired with that with a bowl of tomato soup! Fast and cheap ^^

I need cheap meal ideas/recipes I'm on a very tight budget at the moment. Any Ideas?
I'm on a really tight budget right now due to the fact I'm pregnant with twins and have had to cut back from my regular hours at work. I currently have these items in my kitchen 3 boxes mac %26amp; cheese, hot dogs, eggs, cheese, bread, corn bread mix, 2 tostinos pizzas, and oncore chicken parmagian. What else could I add for $35.00 to last me until the 1st of next month?I need cheap meal ideas/recipes I'm on a very tight budget at the moment. Any Ideas?
35.00 is not much to last for almost a month. Have you checked to see if you are eligible for any government help? Are there any food pantry's that you could go to? There is no shame in going for help when you need it, and honey it sounds like you do.
But back to your question, since you are pregnant you need to make sure that you are eating right. you will need proteins, veggies and fruit.
Chicken ';pick of the chick'; it is leggs, thighs, wings and I think it comes with a breast. Dont buy the boneless, cost too much.
Ground meat- get the family size - cost less per #.
Frozen veggies, just as good as fresh, just not as expensive.
Fruit - what ever your store has on sale or even buy apple sauce.
Potatoes, rice and dry beans and pasta.
With the ground beef - separate into meal size portions and freeze, same with the chicken.
One night you could have meat loaf - season the ground beef with salt, pepper and what ever seasonings you have in your pantry, add a egg to bind it. Serve with a veggie. save any left overs, you can use the left over meat loaf in a pasta dish for another night.
Another night bake enough chicken for your meal, again season with what you have on hand, serve with rice. Save left overs, you can use the chicken and rice in a soup.
here is a web site that you can enter your ingredients into that you have on hand - it then will give you recipes

$35 for a month is not much even on a tight budget.
Find out about WIC where you are.
When I was broke, I made a lot of homemade soup.
This was one easy recipe:
Buzz in a blender:
Can of chicken stock
Can of canneli beans
one Carrot, cut to 1'; chunks
One medium onion, quartered
Move to a half gallon pot. add in
One more can of Canneli beans(unblended)
one can of prepared Collard greens.
one stick of butter.
Bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes
Go to the bakery section of the supermarket after 9pm when most items go on half price mark-down. And if you have a bakery wholesaler nearby they often have overruns on sale for under half price.
The deli section may also have mark downs on cooked chicken and other items that they will otherwise throw out at the end of the night. If it sits under a heat lamp, they will sell it for cheap.
Here is a few ideas:
this you will need to buy: 5lbs of hamburger meat, 1can of chili, 1 can of corn, 1 can of tuna, 6 pack of roman noodles
meal ideas: 1. 1/2 hamburger meat and mac
2. tuna and mac
3. corn bread tamale pie( mix chili and corn, put on bottom of baking pan, mix corn bread mix and spoon over chili mix and bake serves 6 so lots of left overs)
4.hamburgers ( 1/2 meat , cheese, and bread)
5.hot dogs (meat, cheese and bread)
6. 1/2 lb hamburger meat and roman noodles
7. egg drop roman noodles
hope this helps a little
Don't buy prepared foods- buy raw ingredients: Fresh vegetables, dried beans, rice, that sort of thing. You'll save a ton of money and be healthier, too.
When I was a student and and had almost no money and no food around, I'd made a rice pilaf, like this:
Chop an opinion and fry it in some olive oil (or any good oil) my large iron skillet until it was soft
Add two cups of rice and stir until the rice starts to brown
Add all the leftover bits of meat and veg in the fridge
Slowly add 4 cups of vegetable stock, or bullion, or chicken broth, stirring constantly
Cover, lower the heat as far as you can, and check in 20 minutes.
cornmeal, dry beans, ground beef, oats, rice, potatoes, bologna, canned tomatoes, cereal, cheese
we ate a lot of soup beans and cornbread with fried potatoes...oatmeal and cereal, bologna sandwiches, fried bologna with fried potatoes, hot dogs %26amp; macaroni....just buy cheap and make casseroles works too. :) hamburger, rice and tomatoes..just season it up a bit... cheesy rice,
there are some ideals for a start... we got so used to eating poor, its all we like now :)
Get a massive sized bag of rice. Also get some onions and veggie oil. Fry the onions and mix with cooked rice, simmer and enjoy. This is my ';super cheap pregnant women who isn't in the mood to cook or spend money she doesn't have'; meal. It can feed as many as needed.
By looking at your inventory.one meal could be hot dog roll up's with mac %26amp; cheese as a side.
bread slices- roll out a little with a drinking glass or rolling pin.add cheese / onions optional put the hot dog on slice then roll it up.you can purchase
a can of chile and add to the mixture then bake at 350 til bread is toasted on the outside the cheese will slightly run out.Serve Mac %26amp; cheese on the side.
To stretch your remaining money you may consider purchacing chicken broth , stock or dry packs of chicken gravy where you just add water.then pick up some dry noodles or rice.for your meat base get dark chicken meat such as thighs or leg portions.these cuts of meat are priced lower than the breast portions.remove the skin %26amp; bones.season to your taste .Brown chicken add broth and seasonings such as onions,bell pepper.
prepare your noodles or rice on the side. cook meat mixture about one hour on med.heat.You can thicken the mixture by adding 1-tsp of corn starch mixed with water in a seperate bowl mix well til there is a thick liquid mixture.Add a little at a time and stir in to the meat gravy mixture.Serve the meat mixture over the cooked rice or noodles and serve the corn bread as a side.The noodle dish can be warmed up and served several times during the remaining week. Make another meal as a Pizza only meal.The chicken Parmagian can be served over rice or noodles as well and the extra broth or gravy can be added for additional flavors. There is always PBJ sandwiches and salads in between meals (season and brown chicken in a skillet let cool and add to salad)Boil a couple of eggs cut up and add to salad dish.
Good luck ! and congrats on the twins.

By looking at your inventory.one meal could be hot dog roll up's with mac %26amp; cheese as a side.
bread slices- roll out a little with a drinking glass or rolling pin.add cheese / onions optional put the hot dog on slice then roll it up.you can purchase
a can of chile and add to the mixture then bake at 350 til bread is toasted on the outside the cheese will slightly run out.Serve Mac %26amp; cheese on the side.
To stretch your remaining money you may consider purchacing chicken broth , stock or dry packs of chicken gravy where you just add water.then pick up some dry noodles or rice.for your meat base get dark chicken meat such as thighs or leg portions.these cuts of meat are priced lower than the breast portions.remove the skin %26amp; bones.season to your taste .Brown chicken add broth and seasonings such as onions,bell pepper.
prepare your noodles or rice on the side. cook meat mixture about one hour on med.heat.You can thicken the mixture by adding 1-tsp of corn starch mixed with water in a seperate bowl mix well til there is a thick liquid mixture.Add a little at a time and stir in to the meat gravy mixture.Serve the meat mixture over the cooked rice or noodles and serve the corn bread as a side.The noodle dish can be warmed up and served several times during the remaining week. Make another meal as a Pizza only meal.The chicken Parmagian can be served over rice or noodles as well and the extra broth or gravy can be added for additional flavors. There is always PBJ sandwiches and salads in between meals (season and brown chicken in a skillet let cool and add to salad)Boil a couple of eggs cut up and add to salad dish.
Good luck ! and congrats on the twins.
Anyone know where I can find really quick, really easy really cheap tofu recipes?
Please help. I'm very new to the vegan lifestyle,( like I've just started 3 days ago.) I'm basically a ';meat and potatoes';, plain foods type of girl. I work with my hands, so I need to maintain my muscles and stamina.And I'm on a tight budget. I'm trying to quit meat 'cold turkey.' So now, I have this huge block of firm tofu sitting in my fridge and the majority of the reciepes I've found thus far seem a little too fancy for my taste. I don't know any vegans, so I'm kinda on my own here.
Also, is it normal to have a little indigestion at first? I think I may have maxed-out on couscous and salads. Oh, and are you supposed to drain the tofu or do you store it in the water that it comes with? How long can you keep it in the fridge? And how can you tell when it goes bad?Anyone know where I can find really quick, really easy really cheap tofu recipes?

That's a great website.
Indigestion is normal when switching your diet, because your body simply isn't used to the new food you are eating.
Drain the tofu that you are going to use, but store the rest in water.
You should really make some tofu sticks. My mom makes those and they are delicious! Just take small strips of tofu, cover them in bread crumbs, and fry them. Eat with ketchup!Anyone know where I can find really quick, really easy really cheap tofu recipes?
Hi! Congrats, I have read of a decennia-long research made in the U.S. amongst female nurses: vegetarians live longer and stay healthier. When my kid is a bit older I will go back to that, too.
I don't know of any websites, but I will share my simplest everyday recipes with you. Hope this helps you at all : )
You can store tofu in fresh water. In a tight plastic container and in fridge tofu will stay fresh approx. for one week, if you remember to change fresh cold water every day. (I sometimes forget...but every other day seems to be enough). I tend to use one chunk in 4 to 5 days. But the water is necessary. You will know by the smell...and taste is awful. also the structure of tofu will change, it will become softer in a strange way.
My son is not one for fancy food either (8 years), but loves tofu. He will actually eat it raw, unprepared if he is hungry. I just cut him carrot-thick sticks of it. I did not teach him this, he invented it himself.
One other is to fry tofu quickly in olive oil and sprinkle some curry powder on it, children like mild of course, but you can find your own favorites. Just eat with cooked brown rice, or a rice mixture (brown with wild rice is great) add some steamed broccoli to the side etc.
Tofu in cubes and fried with curry is delicious with gently baked apple cubes inside a tortilla or a crepe. Crepes filled with other vegetarian stuff as well is great! Try spinach with feta cheese and roasted pine nuts. You can prepare crepes from soy-milk, if you have given up dairy as well. Eggs I don't know how to replace. But we buy organic.
A classic tofu recipe is tofu in wok with japanese soy sauce and sesame seeds.
If you grow tired of tofu time to time, remember that nuts and seeds have protein, calcium and other good stuff in them as well.
Happy easy cookings!

apps: crudite - veg w/dip (add pepperoncini type peppers to liven it up); sm. meatballs/cocktail weenies; cheese cube platter; tossed salad (bagged w/fresh grape tomatoes %26amp; sliced mushroom added)
entree: oven fried chicken / chicken parmesan / stir-fry type dish
Oven fried chicken -- coat chicken w/seasoned coating/breading - bake til done
Parmesan - same as oven fried (with Italian seasonings added to coating) - before serving, add sauce/cheese
Stir-fry - cut breasts into strips - brown; add veg - serve over rice
desserts: sorbet w/some sort of fruit or wine sauce; lemon square type of pastry; some sort of decadent chocolate cake w/chocolate sauce
a lot of this stuff can be bought ready made (apps, dessert) for not too much money - sometimes cheaper than making from scratch. If you can get into a club store (sams/costco), you'll not only get a bargain, but usually better quality.

1 cup rice, uncooked
1 bag frozen veggies (any kind you like but a mix works better)
1 lb beef/chicken
some butter
salt and pepper
saute beef/chicken in a little butter. Add any type of spices you like (I'd use some parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, celery seed; and a little lemon pepper in stead of regular pepper for chicken). Set aside. Cook rice and frozen vegetables in soup, with 1 cup water (rice is 1 cup rice with two cups liquid).
Put rice in plate, top with sauteed beef/chicken.

For us it's breakfast for dinner. It begins with eggs, you can make a scramble with anything in the fridge (sandwich meat, peppers, tomatoes, etc.) or just do over easy or scrambled with your bread options - toast, bagel, english muffin, whatever. If you have bacon, or canadian bacon you can use that. Depending on what you have, you can even do breakfast sandwiches which are easy and quick. Sometimes we make grits. It's all quick and easy and cheap since you are just pulling whatever you have in fridge and cupboards.
Anything %26amp; rice.
(Brown any sort of meat -- [chicken parts, pork chops, cut up beef, etc.] and a minced onion. Add rice, tomato sauce (or salsa) seasonings, and water. Cover and cook until rice is done. A can of beans can be tossed in too if there isn't much meat. And a handful of grated cheese (mozzarella or italian blend or jack) on top makes it perfect for my daughter.)
spaghetti bolognaise...we can get 800g of mince and pasta sauce and some grated parmesan. Its yummy...is my favourite. We have it with tagglietelle (spelling) instead of spaghetti as i saw on the cookery program thats how the italians do it...and ITS DELICIOUS!

CHEAP, EASY %26amp; FAST....THREE or FOUR ITEMS....LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!
CHICKEN, RICE, SEASONING %26amp; WATER (OR CHICKEN BROTH)
I make this all the time when we're in a rush, hungry or didn't have time to go to the market:
ARROZ CON POLLO (serves 2)
(';Chicken with Rice';, a Cuban/Puerto Rican dish)
RECIPE:
Long grain rice (1 part)
chicken broth (for fuller flavor) or water (1 1/4 part liquid)
2 or 3 pieces of whole chicken thigh or breast meat
(no bones)
';SAZON'; seasoning (1 packet)
(Goya or other brands...found in Hispanic Markets or
Spanish section of the grocery stores)
(Optional.....if you don't have any of these, it's okay...however any or some will enhance the flavor):
approx 3 tablespoons chopped onions;
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 stems of fresh cilantro (cut a portion of the stem off
but leave it whole)
On medium high, in a pot or pan with a lid**, heat the uncooked rice in olive or canola oil for a few minutes until the rice loses its transparency (approx 3 minutes). Then add the chicken broth or water (careful as it'll steam up); add the packet of Sazon seasoning, then place the uncooked chicken into the rice %26amp; liquid. Additionally, you can add all or some of the optional ingredients. As soon as it starts to come to a boil, cover with a lid, lower the heat and simmer for 16 minutes.
Turn off the stove (DO NOT open the lid) and allow it to sit for an additional 8-10 minutes (this minimizes the rice from sticking to the bottom and the steam also allows it to continue to cook).
The rice will have a yellow color due to the seasoning. Take out and discard the cilantro. Also take out the chicken and cut it up into small pieces. You're ready. ENJOY!
**(If you have a heavier pot or pan with a heavy lid, use one that is deep enough to avoid liquid and steam from escaping during the cooking process)
Hope this works out for you!Can you give me easy cheap chicken recipes?
Buy a whole chicken. clean it out and wash and pat dry.Roast it stuffed with onion, lemon, and garlic. lay on top of carrots and celery, add a little water to the bottom of the pan. put an herb butter mix under the skin, and drizzle the whole thing w/ a little olive oil and salt. bake @ 350 and the time depends on the size. It will say on the package. serve w/ potatoes and veg. make chicken salad the next day, or chicken noodle soup. It's an easy three meals in one. and it's more simple and cheap than you think.Can you give me easy cheap chicken recipes?
After washing your chicken, season to taste (I use greek all purpose seasoning found at any wal mart) wrap chicken in aluminum foil and bake in over for 35 minutes. If you prefer fried chicken I roll the chicken in mustard first, then a seasoning/flour mix and deep fry in a crockpot or deep pan on the stove. Both of which are cheap and really easy and my favorite part is they are hard to mess up!
Cook boneless skinless chicken breasts in a skillet with a little oil about 4 minutes per side on medium heat. Add one chopped onion, cook briefly and add 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook about 3 minutes then add one jar of spaghetti sauce. Turn heat to low, cover and let simmer until chicken is done, approximately 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook some spaghetti following directions on the box. Drain the pasta and serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta. Bagged salad and some Italian bread complete the meal. This is not my recipe 鈥?another member of the YA community posted it.
Why dont you get some boneless chicken thighs and some vegies (Pots, sweet pot, beans, cauliflower peas, corn kernels, just whatever you have in the cupboard) and put them all in a pot with some water and stock, about half and half, so long as its all covered. Throw in some parsley and maybe some other herbs. Cover and cook on low for a few hours until the chicken is falling apart and serve with some nice fresh crusty bread!!! YUM.
Use thawed boneless, skinless pieces. They're cheap enough when bought by the frozen bag full. Rub with a spice called Adobo (With Pepper), usually found in the hispanic section of the grocery store, as well as some parsley, and maybe a little seasoned salt. Broil each side for *no more* than ten minutes. Cook them a few inches below the broiler burner. Try to watch them, and turn them when they are white, with the surface getting crispy and golden brown.
Suggestions:
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot
sauce....presto ';Hot
Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed
Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages?
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops鈥?boneless pork chops鈥?.pork steak.
How about Vienna Sausages ?? Ummm!

Homemade Chicken or Fish Nuggets
This was originally used for fish but I have also used it for chicken nuggets the same way, I just cook them a little longer:
2 or 3 Tilapia filets
1 egg
about 1/2 c milk
about 1/3 c parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
about 1 cup bread crumbs
Preheat over to 400. Cut the fish (or chicken) up into bite size pieces. Put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan into a ziploc bag. Mix the egg and the milk in a good sized bowl and add the fish (or chicken) nuggets to the bowl.
Take the nuggets out of the milk/egg mixture a few at a time and drop into the bag. Shake around until well coated and then place on baking sheet (you can grease it but I usually just line with foil). Do this until they are all coated and bake about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your nuggets, slightly longer for chicken. They are good!

the best fried chicken--home style
INGREDIENTS
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 egg
seasoning salt to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Chicken curry
Ingredients
4-6 medium tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 tbsp vegetable oil
3cm/1in piece root ginger
2 garlic cloves
1-2 mild green chillies
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
录 tsp ground turmeric
salt and freshly ground black pepper
100ml/3陆fl oz water
1 free-range chicken, jointed into 8 pieces, or 8 thighs and/or drumsticks
2 tbsp yoghurt
1 lime (or lemon)
a small bunch of coriander leaves
cooked rice, to serve
Method
1. To skin the tomatoes, nick the skin of each tomato with the point of a sharp knife, then put the tomatoes in a bowl next to the sink and pour over some very hot water from the kettle to cover. Count to 20, then carefully pour away the water. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, halve the tomatoes, squeeze out most of the pips and juice into an empty bowl, and discard. Chop the flesh roughly and put it down on a plate to one side.
2. Peel and finely chop the onion. Fry the onion in the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over low to medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring from time to time so that it turns an even golden brown. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
3. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the ginger and the garlic.
4. Slit the chilli using a sharp knife. Slice the flesh away from the cluster of seeds in the middle. Avoid touching any part of the chilli with your fingers if you can, as it is very easy to get chilli in your eyes, and that will sting. You can use a fork to hold the chilli down or wear rubber gloves. Chop the chilli finely.
5. Measure the ground spices into a teacup. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli to the pan, stir them around and fry for another minute or so. If you want your curry to be hot as well as spicy, include some or all of the chilli seeds. Then add the spices in the cup into the onions. Fry the spices for a minute or two, stirring all the time so that they do not stick. Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Pour in the water and the tomatoes, bring to the boil, turn down the heat a little and let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and stir them around so they are covered with the sauce. Put the lid on the pan, turn the heat down and let the chicken cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chicken thighs will take longer to cook than breast pieces.
8. Now add the yoghurt to the chicken and stir it in. When the sauce is gently bubbling again, scoop up a little in a teaspoon, blow it cool and taste it. The sauce will probably taste quite sweet because of the tomatoes. Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the sauce. Stir and taste again, and decide whether you want to add the second half.
9. Finally, chop the fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle them on to the curry just before you serve it with the rice.

Buy a whole chicken. clean it out and wash and pat dry.Roast it stuffed with onion, lemon, and garlic. lay on top of carrots and celery, add a little water to the bottom of the pan. put an herb butter mix under the skin, and drizzle the whole thing w/ a little olive oil and salt. bake @ 350 and the time depends on the size. It will say on the package. serve w/ potatoes and veg. make chicken salad the next day, or chicken noodle soup. It's an easy three meals in one. and it's more simple and cheap than you think.Can you give me easy cheap chicken recipes?
After washing your chicken, season to taste (I use greek all purpose seasoning found at any wal mart) wrap chicken in aluminum foil and bake in over for 35 minutes. If you prefer fried chicken I roll the chicken in mustard first, then a seasoning/flour mix and deep fry in a crockpot or deep pan on the stove. Both of which are cheap and really easy and my favorite part is they are hard to mess up!
Cook boneless skinless chicken breasts in a skillet with a little oil about 4 minutes per side on medium heat. Add one chopped onion, cook briefly and add 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook about 3 minutes then add one jar of spaghetti sauce. Turn heat to low, cover and let simmer until chicken is done, approximately 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook some spaghetti following directions on the box. Drain the pasta and serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta. Bagged salad and some Italian bread complete the meal. This is not my recipe 鈥?another member of the YA community posted it.
Why dont you get some boneless chicken thighs and some vegies (Pots, sweet pot, beans, cauliflower peas, corn kernels, just whatever you have in the cupboard) and put them all in a pot with some water and stock, about half and half, so long as its all covered. Throw in some parsley and maybe some other herbs. Cover and cook on low for a few hours until the chicken is falling apart and serve with some nice fresh crusty bread!!! YUM.
Use thawed boneless, skinless pieces. They're cheap enough when bought by the frozen bag full. Rub with a spice called Adobo (With Pepper), usually found in the hispanic section of the grocery store, as well as some parsley, and maybe a little seasoned salt. Broil each side for *no more* than ten minutes. Cook them a few inches below the broiler burner. Try to watch them, and turn them when they are white, with the surface getting crispy and golden brown.

COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot
sauce....presto ';Hot
Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed
Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages?
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops鈥?boneless pork chops鈥?.pork steak.
How about Vienna Sausages ?? Ummm!

Homemade Chicken or Fish Nuggets
This was originally used for fish but I have also used it for chicken nuggets the same way, I just cook them a little longer:
2 or 3 Tilapia filets
1 egg
about 1/2 c milk
about 1/3 c parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
about 1 cup bread crumbs
Preheat over to 400. Cut the fish (or chicken) up into bite size pieces. Put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan into a ziploc bag. Mix the egg and the milk in a good sized bowl and add the fish (or chicken) nuggets to the bowl.
Take the nuggets out of the milk/egg mixture a few at a time and drop into the bag. Shake around until well coated and then place on baking sheet (you can grease it but I usually just line with foil). Do this until they are all coated and bake about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your nuggets, slightly longer for chicken. They are good!

the best fried chicken--home style
INGREDIENTS
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 egg
seasoning salt to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Chicken curry
Ingredients
4-6 medium tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 tbsp vegetable oil
3cm/1in piece root ginger
2 garlic cloves
1-2 mild green chillies
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
录 tsp ground turmeric
salt and freshly ground black pepper
100ml/3陆fl oz water
1 free-range chicken, jointed into 8 pieces, or 8 thighs and/or drumsticks
2 tbsp yoghurt
1 lime (or lemon)
a small bunch of coriander leaves
cooked rice, to serve
Method
1. To skin the tomatoes, nick the skin of each tomato with the point of a sharp knife, then put the tomatoes in a bowl next to the sink and pour over some very hot water from the kettle to cover. Count to 20, then carefully pour away the water. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, halve the tomatoes, squeeze out most of the pips and juice into an empty bowl, and discard. Chop the flesh roughly and put it down on a plate to one side.
2. Peel and finely chop the onion. Fry the onion in the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over low to medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring from time to time so that it turns an even golden brown. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
3. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the ginger and the garlic.
4. Slit the chilli using a sharp knife. Slice the flesh away from the cluster of seeds in the middle. Avoid touching any part of the chilli with your fingers if you can, as it is very easy to get chilli in your eyes, and that will sting. You can use a fork to hold the chilli down or wear rubber gloves. Chop the chilli finely.
5. Measure the ground spices into a teacup. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli to the pan, stir them around and fry for another minute or so. If you want your curry to be hot as well as spicy, include some or all of the chilli seeds. Then add the spices in the cup into the onions. Fry the spices for a minute or two, stirring all the time so that they do not stick. Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Pour in the water and the tomatoes, bring to the boil, turn down the heat a little and let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and stir them around so they are covered with the sauce. Put the lid on the pan, turn the heat down and let the chicken cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chicken thighs will take longer to cook than breast pieces.
8. Now add the yoghurt to the chicken and stir it in. When the sauce is gently bubbling again, scoop up a little in a teaspoon, blow it cool and taste it. The sauce will probably taste quite sweet because of the tomatoes. Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the sauce. Stir and taste again, and decide whether you want to add the second half.
9. Finally, chop the fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle them on to the curry just before you serve it with the rice.
