Delicious poorfag food

[Anonymous No.5860254]

Let's have a thread for cheap as shit, yet delicious and simple food for the poorfag.

Pic related is ham and greated cheese, in a tortilla and thrown into the microwave for 1 min (or just until the cheese is melted, don't get your tortilla too soggy, faggot.) Black pepper and sometimes a bit of ketchup, depending how I feel.

This is my favourite poorfag "meal" at the moment. Post yours.

What's so strange about that? Many grocery stores sell rice in bulk. You scoop out however much you want and pay by weight.

As for the chili, sounds like a normal price for generic brand cheap ass canned chili.

There's a whole bunch you can do with five pounds of chicken thighs and a suitably large crockpot. Throw in a couple jars of supermarket salsa and/or a can of black beans, for e.g., or buffalo chicken with a couple bottles of Frank's Red Hot.

>>in bulk

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I didn't mean you had to buy the rice in a large quantiyty. I meant that the market sells rice without packaging. It's in a large bulk bin with a scoop provided. You scoop out however much you want. You can buy however much or however little you want. In other words, you don't have to buy a large package of rice. You can buy however much you want--whether that's one grain or hundreds of lbs.

If making a wrap or burrito or something using a tortilla in a microwave sit the thing on some wooden chopsticks layed across a dish with raised edges or a bowl.

I use 4 chopsticks when doing that, the purpose being to avoid the bottom from getting moist. Then let it sit for a bit with the microwave door open to cool off and let the tortilla dry.

I'd do it for longer than a minute, I can make wraps and burritos in a microwave and if done right the burrito can even crisp up. Make whatever's laid across the chopsticks wont drip into anything except the dish.

I find a leftover chinese plastic takeout dish works great, the rectangular ones, especially since the edges are flat so the chopsticks don't roll.

Southwest Spinach Balls.

1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1-2/3 cups hot water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 pkg. (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained and patted dry
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup corn, drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 eggs
1 4 ounce can chopped green chilis

Heat oven to 400ºF. Mix stuffing mix, hot water and butter in large bowl until blended.
Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Shape into 60 (1-inch) balls. Place in single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 15 to 20 min. or until lightly browned.

I make 2" balls and cook them for thirty minutes. The great thing about this recipe is most of the stuff is usually in my kitchen anyway.

Man I don't know about you, but where I live bacon is one of the most expensive damn things in the entire supermarket. Price of bacon has been going up like crazy for the last couple of years.
On top of that, they're also selling a lot less. Packages used to be 500g, nowadays the average one is more likely to be 375g. It fucking sucks.

Agreed. Bacon used to be considered shit-tier and didn't sell very well until an ad campaign ran, convincing people that bacon was the greatest breakfast food ever.

1/4 cabbage (feel free to use as much as you want, I usually end up using more than half a well sized head)
8 dried tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
salt
pepper
water
(if you're feeling filthy rich, add bacon to taste)

Explanation:
Brown the meat in oil, chop the onions and slice the bacon finely and fry it in the end.
Dice the cabbage and dried tomatoes into finely and add them to the meat and onions while reducing the heat.
Add the garlic, salt, pepper and a few cups of water and simmer for about half an hour.

I don't necessarily do single meal/processed foods because after a long time of being poor fag, I have found that I spend more money in a chain grocery store and buying canned food.

I found a cheap deli and a cheap farmers market. They have ground beef and pork for 99 cents a pound. One pound makes two days of dinner for me.

I buy a sack of potatoes for about 2 bucks
5 pound bag of rice at an asian store for about 4 dollars (this will last me over two weeks)
Various cheap vegetables.
Eggs.

I generally spend about 20 bucks per week on groceries.

I also keep spices. I buy them slowly as I need them since they are kinda expensive.

I love making meatballs. Boils some potatoes and chop 'em up into little cubes. Take some old bread, throw it in the oven at 300 for about 10 minutes, tear em up. Season a half-pound of ground pork and a half-pound of ground beef. Mash the potato, the meat, seasonings, the toast, and an egg all together. Put em in a lightly oiled skillet and cook em on medium low until cooked all the way through. Delicious and cheap.

And I often make sauteed cabbage and rice for quick and easylunch or dinner.

Like most things, spices are expensive if you don't know how to shop for them.

I was talking to a white girl and she was like "I would cook Asian food, but ginger is SOOOoooo expensive!" She only ever bought it from western-type grocers rather than from Asian ones.
I showed her that just as milk is expensive at Asian grocers because few Asians use it regularly, ginger is expensive at western markets because few westerners use it regularly.
