What are some tasty, easy to make, and fair priced meals?

I mostly stock up on ground beef for meat loaf, burgers, manwich, and hamburger helper.

Throw in TV dinners and hotdogs and you got my diet, I need more variety.

Help?

You could start by cutting the processed garbage out of your diet. Manwich, hamburger helper, tv dinners, and hot dogs? Come on, dude. Just take a couple of weeks and learn the basics of cooking.

Curry, braised meats, spaghetti, any kind of BBQ, any kind of mexican food.

All food is cheap and easy to prepare just find something you like and make it.

Pasta.
I usually add some spinach, chicken, cheese, whatever other veggies I happen to have, and some sauce.
Boil the pasta and throw the whole jawn in a pan and stir for a few minutes.

I should do more BBQ, I need to get a cheap grill still at least.

I need to invest in spices/herbs, it's such a big investment when you only have salt and pepper tho.

Mexican is a good idea too, Thanks.

Spices that cheap are flavorless dust not worth buying.

No, that's how you end up with shit like the retards who post on here and ask why people use bay leaves or paprika because they taste of nothing. Spices are probably the best example of any common product that illustrates quality variation between brands.

>>and even better for a person who has none at all
I will agree that cheap spices are better than no spices.

what this guy said >>11224890

>pickles
pickles are really simple to make and great for sandwiches. before you call me a faggot, realize you can pickle pretty much any veggie that's about to go bad and give it up to 2 more weeks of life. also home made pickled veggies are infinitely better than whatever trash you are buying at your shithole grocery

>frozen chicken breast
fucking ez, just oven them.

>tacos
you are already buying ground meat and probably making these but I'll mention them anyway. just sauté in oil with taco seasoning and apply to shell

>red beans and rice
you can just buy canned red beans that you heat up and add to rice. blast it with cheese and a hot sauce and you have a pretty comfy meal

>pickles
Pickles last for months or years anon, not "2 weeks".

>he cooks chicken breast in the oven
Searing 'em in a pan is faster, uses less energy, and it tastes better because of dat malliard

>>he thinks tacos are made from ground beef and a packet
Why do you hate flavor so much?

>>Red beans and rice is just canned beans with rice mixed in

Why is it that every single fucking poorfag thread doesn't have god damned chicken leg quarters mentioned? I've seen them even cheaper than pic related from a butcher. Walmart has them at $.49/lb. You can all FUCK OFF with your shitty tasteless frozen chicken breasts. Skin-on, bone-in, legs and thighs will beat all other meats in terms of value. AND, you can save bones for stock to make soup with. Win-win-win.

I forgot to mention the excess fat can be used to make a gravy or to cook other things in. It's great to just have some veggies roasting under the chicken and they get cooked in all that delicious chicken fat.

Shephards pie. Get a Dutch oven. Delicious and you can eat it for days. Try ground lamb sometime too instead of beef which I guess is technically cottage pie. The betty crocker recipe is a good baseline (don't use refrigerated potatoes like that lazy bitch) to make your own little recipe. Some people like cream of mushroom compared to beef broth but I've yet to try it.

I'm always in the mood for shephards pie
