cheap to eat

I’ve not posted much lately. Either too busy or just no inspiration.
Since the economy is what it is, and there’s many and I mean many struggling to make grocery money, I decided to post a couple of recipes. These are cheap, quick & most of all easy.

Trail Tater Surprise

1 medium size spud/person, 2 slices bacon/person, Cavender’s Greek Seasoning, cheddar cheese.
Family of 4 for about 6 bucks. The 6 bucks should get enough spud, cheese, and bacon to do 2 meals
Fry bacon until crispy not burnt, remove from skillet, add sliced taters & fry in bacon grease seasoning with Cavender’s.
When taters are soft & done, remove from skillet and serve, crumble bacon and shred cheddar cheese over top.

Yeah, it’s high starch & cholesterol but hey it’ll keep you alive and is tasty as well as filling.



Zach’s Ghetto Spaghetti (aprox. 60 cents/ serving or less)

1 pkg Ramen noodles, small can tomato sauce (with meat if you can afford it)
Boil the water ,add noodles but leave out the seasoning pouch. drain off, add ½ can of tomato sauce

Here’s the key to this recipe: refrigerate the remainder of tomato sauce for next meal (or hide in a cool place if refrigerator isn’t handy). Season with salt, pepper, or hot sauce if you can find it. (salt & pepper can easily be obtained at convenience stores in the little packets. Keep the seasoning packet for when you don’t have any noodles then you can boil a little water and have some broth.
