Cheap but surprisingly good food?

[Anonymous No.20235610]

I just ate a mushroom stew + macaroni for the first time, and fuck me was it tasty. I'd love some other ideas that are surprisingly good, but ideally cheap

Minus the cost of a shotgun, shells, license and gas driving out to the wetland. There is nothing free about it

Most vegetable based soups and stews are super cheap and can be made really tasty with the right herbs and spices. Mushrooms are great for adding savory flavor without having to use expensive meat.

I payed a doctor to say I have enough savage blood in me to not need a license to hunt. I ride around the county on my ATV so gasoline usage is extremely low. I just barrow shotguns from family members. Shotgun shells are less than $1 per round.

That's good to know desu. I already do make soups, and I've made some variation of potatoes + tomatoes + whatnot stew (tastes even better w/ some meat), but I didn't expect the mushroom stew to turn out so good (obvs with spices). I'll have to consider other type of veggie based stews now that you mention it

Was that really cheaper than an actual license?

How cheap are we talking? Like cheap eating basics is to cook a protein, then reuse it's grease with some broth to cook the grain you're gunna stretch it with. Like to make an andouille sausage meal it's basically just dice the sausage cook it, remove, add rice, canned diced tomatos and broth, cook rice, then add sausage back and season with Cajun spices. That's like 3 really big ass filling meals that have a ton of flavor for $6, and there are similar applications to other meats and grains.

white kidney beans + sardines
kind of clam chowder-esque if you cook the beans into mush

Involtini ragu. Piece of skirt steak, cut into 7 or 8 pieces, and pound them flat with a mallet. Stick a half clove of galoc and a strip of onion and bell pepper on it, some salt and pepper, and some grated parmesan, then roll up tight and tie with twine. Shallow fry in olive oil in an enamelled dutch oven, then remove and set aside. Toss in a diced onion, a diced bell pepper, 3 cloves of garlic, and sautee till soft. Add a large can of tomatoes, pref San Marzano, and half a carton of beef broth, and a tablespoon or two of Italian seasoning. Cook for a few hours until it is thickened a bit. Remove the twine from the meat logs and toss in the sauce and submerge, put the kid on and bake the whole thing at 325F for 2 hrs. Serve over pasta or crusty bread. Makes 7-8 servings for ~ $15 total.

Cut up a head of cabbage and an onion and cook them in a big pot with a lid in some butter until soft. Cut up some garlic and throw that in, too, if you want at this point. When you think the cabbage is close to being done, cook a pound of ground beef then add the beef, two 14.5 oz whole cans of diced tomatoes, and half a stick of butter to the cabbage and let it heat back up. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put some in a bowl, top with a spoonful of sour cream and eat with a slice of pan-fried buttered toast. You'll get five or six meals out of it.
