We went through hard times two years ago and one meal that I used to make to stretch the budget was a pound a frozen ground pre-seasoned taco ground Turkey meat by Festive at Walmart for $2. 54 for a 1lb pkg. cooked added to jasmine rice ( cook 2 1/2 cups in 3 cups of boiling water with 1 & 1/2 tbs tomatoe boullion and 1 tbs minced onion until cooked) then mix in turkey taco meat, spread in baking dish add cheese bake until cheese melts and eat in tortillas. We called them poor man’s tacos

My stretching a meal years ago was pork roast in a crock pot. I used only the basic spices ( salt, pepper, garlic and 2 onions sliced) After it was ready made tacos, a chili with pinto and black beans added chipotle and jalapeno, did enchiladas and also a pork stew with garbanzo beans. I was a widow with a toddler. Your recipes remind me that times change and your life gets better

In my 20s ground beef was the cheapest protein you could buy per gram of protein. I would buy ground beef on sale and bring it home and cook it plain and separate into 1lbs packages. From there you can make spaghetti or Johnny marzetti or sloppy Joe's or chili etc. dry pasta and dried beans and dried rice and spices can make your choices various and yummy.

Love this type of video. One question though, any chance you could do a video on how to prepare most of these canned or jar sauces from scratch I’m from Australia and over here to buy any of those cans of sauces will cost me a small fortune. Thanks so much.

Are these recipes in your cookbook
Btw, back in the day when I didn't have much money or too lazy, I would heat up a corn tortilla, put some salt and call it a day. Now I'll add maybe some pico de gallo & queso fresco. Tasty.

Hello, I took flour tortillas, placed spaghetti sauce on it (sometimes 2 if it was pay day) then sliced mushrooms on the sauce and cook it up in the oven. Occasionally I could add mozzarella cheese on top.

I used to put any kind of meat in the slow cooker, pour half a jar of green chile salsa on top, and let it cook on low all day. Pork shrinks the lesst.
I also did a lot of microwave quesadillas.

Eggs, potatoes, cheese, tortillas, ground beef, onions, and tomato sauce is all you need if you on a budget for $20 a week nowadays for a single person going through hard times

FYI: The Dumpling hack is a standard cooking method for Japanese Gyoza (dumplings) and has been a standard method since it was introduced in the early 1800's from China.

Mashed potatoes and cheese enchiladas were my favorite. I would just cook them on the stove pot. I still love them. I'm 75 now.

If you don’t like raw onions, put a little bit of water in the onions and microwave for 30-60sec. Takes the raw edge off.
