onion, mushroom and rice
if you're feeling fancy you can toss in some milk or sour cream and cinnamon, plus eggies in there

or just spaghetti with butter and seasoning

If genuinely poor, get a used instant pot or something online for <$100, but otherwise a nice pressure cooker appliance is fucking useful for the poverty cooking. Poor people don't have much free time to cook, which is why they often resort to fast foods, so making a fully cooked meal, or a weeks worth of meals in a fraction of normal cooking time makes pressure cookers great.

For weekly food in bulk, you can make stews, soups, and curries in general with whatever veggies, meats, beans, or lentils you want. Rice (plain or fancy), oatmeal, or other grains work. Stocks and broths are useful for the above too. I personally make scrambled eggs in bulk for the entire week. None of this is gonna be peak home cooking, but it's still gonna be good food.

>example
Either buy cheap stock or stock cubes, or pressure cook the cheapest cuts of chicken for <30 min to make poor man's broth, chicken fat (put in the fridge so easy to skim off the broth), tender chicken meat, chicken skin, and non-breakable chicken legs. Chop up some veggies you can choose to saute or not if you're too poor, and save the scraps. Cook some rice in chicken broth or mexican rice on the stove, make some tender beans in broth and veggies (this one you can easily choose to be no added fat). Or buy some chuck beef and make beef stew with potatoes and other veggies. Or buy a pork shoulder and make some type of barbacoa, again keeping the broth. Fry the meat to make half assed carnitas. Or make normal carnitas with veggie oil. Make better stock with you scraps now.
>>
>>21656014
Hamburger Helper-style one pot meals. You can use a pound of ground beef or chicken breast and a box of pasta to make four servings in an hour.
>>
>>21656096
Do NOT do the veggie oil carnitas under pressure cooking btw
>>
Fuck people who post carb-only meals that can’t sustain anyone
>>
>>21656103
no meal can sustain your existence indefinitely, idiot
eat carbs if you cannot afford better

>>
>>21656117
Add some beans or lentils faggot, eggs, cheap fish, any cheap protein
>>
>>21656096
Why would anyone make eggs ahead of time, it literally takes 5 mins, skip the line at McDonalds and use that time to make eggs in the morning
>>
You can make homemade kefir if you have the starter and equipment to strain and blend it

Buy whole milk by the gallon, blend with frozen fruit, drink 1+ quart daily and it can replace a meal and is pretty cheap so long as you commit to it
>>
>>21656130
nobody here is saying that one should eat only carbohydrates
>>
>>21656142
Post budget meals that include balanced macros fag don’t give me that buttered spaghetti shit
>>
>>21656133
5*7 = 35 minutes
I can do it all in <10 minutes of hands-on work. The hardest part is cracking all the eggs, transferring the food to a container, and cleaning the vessel after.

Chicken and pork are good legit protein sources. Unlike beans

Stir fry.
I've been regularly doing a stir fry for dinner several times a week lately.
Cook chicken or pork in a pan, add sliced bell peppers and some broccoli and salt. Cook for a bit, add a sauce mix of soy sauce/sriracha/lemon juice/honey. Throw in scallions at the end.
Simple, easy, tasty. Sometimes I add a bit of peanut butter in the sauce step. Or Gochujang or miso. Vary up the flavours.
>>
>>21656014
Rice + Protein is always a good, easy dish.
Go look at whatever cheap meats/fish is selling at your nearby grocery store. Pair it with some cheap veggies. Then just buy a bunch of spices and sauces, so you can have a variety of tastes even with the same ingredients.
Pasta instead of rice is good, too.
>>
>>21656014
>easy to cook foods
Hamburger/ground beef has been more and more costly each week, but you can still get a deal when buying 3lb packages for the better price per pound. I cook the whole thing as a meatloaf or mini meatloaves and freeze. Or from raw, divy it up and portion it into freezer ziplocs, tightly sealed with no air, and then you have it for dinners down the line with a quick nuke on defrost setting.
Bolognese sauced pasta, skillet tacos, dirty rice, picadillo, sloppy joes, chili, stuffed cabbage/zucchini. This is my rotation using items from the pantry. There are few hamburger helper style things like chili-mac and stroganoff, and some other baked things you could instead do.
Right now, I'd say Aldi chicken is the cheapest, and pork prices are reasonable everywhere. Focus on bulk purchases those recipes.
>>
>>21656014
Half can of corn, can of rotel, two cans of black beans, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, chicken stock.
>>
>>21656014
Start looking for the cheapest cuts of chicken you can find on your grocery store. My daily meals consist of rice beans + chicken.
>>
>>21656014

Thoughts on hamburger gravy over toast?
>>
>>21656014
For two months I ate nothing but oranges, eggs, potatoes, bread and rice with multivitamins and I drank only water. On Fridays I allowed myself a can of sardines as a treat, by the end of the two months I wanted to die but I think this was fairly healthy
>>

Get your prostate checked out asap.
>>
>>21660516
I'd rather not have my arse fingered by a some random man. Getting a prostate exam is one thing I will never do
>>
>>21660578
Anon, rectal exams haven't been used to detect prostate cancer for years now.
You simply let a doctor take some blood and if some value is too high, they MRI scan your ass.
No gloved hands will come near your anus. Your (very fragile) heterosexuality is safe.
>>
>>21660742
They still do the fingering in Germany. It's free of course, the government pays for it.

tuna and cannellini bean salad
>>
>>21656014
>Pasta
>Onion
>Garlic
>Pasata (or alternative)
>Tuna
>Optional: capers, cheese

Glaze onion and garlic, add passata, let boil for a few minutes, make pasta in the meantime. Add tuna and capers to sauce, put with pasta in oven dish, put cheese on top, in oven/under grill for 5-10 minutes and wala.

Alternatively, arrabiata is also a fucking banger every time.

I also made rice, beans and hot dog sausages a few times as a student.

Gravy is cheap if you buy exclusively bone cuts of meat and stretch bone broth thin
>>
>>21656027
just get an extension. on chrome I use 'save image as type' which adds an option to the right click menu for you to save as jpg or png (or webp)

Onions and mushrooms add next to no caloric density, so a total waste of money, of you skipped the mushrooms and onions you could buy another bag of rice
>>
>>21656158
Bowl of rice, pasta or potato, 100 grams liver and a couple eggs, easiest shit ever
>>
>>21656014
I like to hit the local butcher and see whats cheap. Last night was half a pound of venison stew meat. Tallow the hot skillet, flour and season the meat with SPGO, sear the meat. Drop the temp, add the butter and a bit of water and in a few minutes you have meat and gravy. Richfags can add veggies. Let the sauce thicken over a low simmer for ten minutes. Serve on a bed of rice. Filled me up for maybe $5.
>>
Lentils, chicken broth, onions, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic. Boil the lentils in the chicken broth, pan fry the Onion drain the lentils, mix the onions with the lentils, finally add the turmeric, coriander, and cumin. Mix and serve.
>>
Kasha/buckwheat groats are a clear form of protein, helped Slavs toil in the fields. Just double or triple the volume in water and boil while stirriing occasionally for 15 minutes.
>>

I can wholeheartedly recommend: pasta with leek and bacon. Bacon can be replaced with ham or lets say onion
>Start with some butter and bacon, set bacon to side when crispy.
>Put in cut leek. Cook until leek is done
> Add boiled al dente pasta, bacon pieces, seasoning. And food is done.

If you're cooking and eating up hamburger patties, don't you got hamburger buns? If you're gonna make gravy from the pan juices, why not eat the gravy with the burger? Along with the water and flour, you can add cook some tomato paste or ketchup if poor in the pan before you deglaze and thicken, so now you got a ketchup gravy. Be sure to taste it though to balance anything out like sugar or acidity or umami, maybe add some herbs in the end.

Or, you can instead heat up the buns in the same pan so it absorbs the excess juices and browns. Or do both, but add more fat in the pan before you make the gravy, cause the buns aren't going to absorb the brown fond sticking to the pan. Eat with cheese and other stuff.
>>
>>21656014
You can bake chicken drumsticks without any seasoning, and it still taste very good. The important part is that the fat needs to melt.
>>
>>21656014
Lol thought that shit was Dinuguan
>>
>>21656014
Fry onion, add spices and garlic, add ground meat. Cook until cooked. Add a little water or chicken stock back to keep meat juicy.

Serve with corn tortillas. If you're feeling luxurious add some lime, chopped raw onion, cilantro, and salsa to your tacos.
