In response to Money Saving Recipes posted by yooperz:We're on a limited income and I have three children and one granddaughter living here so have learned to stretch things a lot.
When I make Chili Con Carni, I add extra beans, use a pound of hamburger and freeze half for another meal.
Sheppard's Pie also goes over well, heavy on the potatoes. We like taco seasoning with our bottom beef base and gravy and then add corn before the potatoes.
Chicken Stew and dumplings is easy and everyone loves it. We usually have some left over for the next day and I only use three or four chicken legs along with potatoes, carrots and onions. You could use the leftovers to make a chicken pie.
Fish cakes made with salmon, onion and potatoes. You don't need much salmon for the flavor and they're yummy fried.
A rice casserole with sausage. Those packages often only have five sausage so I cut them up and mix them in with rice, vegetables and spices. If there's leftovers, it makes a nice side dish for lunch.
I think I should write some articles on this. lol
