Eating on a Budget? Budget meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner don't have to be frozen processed foods or cheap fast foods.

Hey Mr Wolf - just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. I've no need to eat on a tight budget - but, like everyone else right now, I'm wanting to make big meals that will last with limit ingredients - and this really seems to fit the bill - so I've used up the last of my rice and tinned tomatoes to make this. Thanks again for your timely videos - hope you and your fam keep safe.

I really appreciate these recipes! I’m single, retired and on a pretty tight budget. All of these can be cooked, and frozen into individual portions that last quite awhile! They’re also perfect for church dinners and when I want to bring something men, women and children like. Thank you!

I remember, as a child with 2 working parents, the old fashioned crock pot was a life saver. Mom would prep it at night and put it in the fridge. Pop the crock in and turn it on low before leaving in the morning, and we always had dinner ready as soon as we got home. Huge time and budget saver for working families, since we could use the cheap cuts of meat and have them turn out fork tender. It was also good for staggered schedules, since it could stay on warm for a few hours. These days, everyone wants an expensive 'Instant Pot', which is cool if you have the $$, but those are $50-$150, where the humble crock is often $20 or less. I picked up a 2qt manual for $10 a few weeks ago, perfect size for a single person with limited fridge/freezer space... and who is a hella lazy cook. 🤣

I appreciate someone who has obviously been there before helping out those currently there. I'm not going to feed your troll, but you are putting out amazing content that helps people who need it. I'm not struggling anymore, but I bet more than 1 person following you is. Because of your videos, they might not have to struggle as hard AND that alone makes me happy! They can feel pride in a well cooked meal they can actually join in on eating. I have actually gone to bed without food for days to make sure my kids ate. Thank you so much for helping a dad or mom not put that worry in their child's head. *Hugs*

My Aunt would make Rice hamburger hot dish. It was a pound of hamburger, 1 cup of rice or so, a can of cream of mushroom soup, can of veggies or fresh, onion if you like, and can of mushrooms or fresh. After you fry the hamburger add all of that together and the water for the rice. It was a favorite for us kids. We always asked her to make it as my mom never cooked rice, or used cream of mushroom soup. The 70's.

Larry, could you plan a weeks worth of budget friendly meals and go to the store just the one time. You could make a series out of this one trip show casing all 5 (or hell go for broke ) 7 days worth of meals. Keep all meals down to the same 6 to 7 dollar range, and see what you come up with. Your videos have changed but, I think this is a change for the better. (maybe you can make a run or two to your own personal playground while make these videos) Just an idea.

I love the budget recipes, very informative not condescending my freinds.

Red beans and rice is my standard go to recipe for when I feel like cooking lightly. One pot will last me alone for at least 3 days. You can skimp on ingredients and go very basic for even cheaper...But this recipe will definitely enhance that flavor.

Like many others have said---while I don't have to worry about a tight budget for meals, I will make this because it sounds so great. You have a number of these budget meals that I will make just because they look so flavorful!!

Get a 2-3qt crock pot and/or a 6 cup rice cooker. You can probably get both for under $30. They make one pot cooking on a budget easy, you won't have to fight room or dorm mates for stove space and, using both, you can easily feed a whole study group while cramming for finals. 😉

I like this series. I don't get paid a lot as a teacher here in Japan and being able to eat on a budget is great. I can't always find all of the ingredients, but I substitute where I need to or find the closest thing possible and it turns out great. Since I don't have a family of my own, these recipes last me days and that's amazing.

im saving these videos for when i move out on my own in a couple years, i know that i’m not gonna have the money to be able to go out to eat or even get takeout everyday

That was a great looking pan of food for under $10 but it was a superb looking pan of food for under $7! This is a wonderful series and I can only hope that those in need can find you.

Larry, nice recipe, you are performing a great service to folks on tight budgets.

Really enjoying these new videos. Personally, our family isn't starving. But, the videos have inspired me to cut the food budget. And that's one of the best ways to save money. Cheers!

Great video. This recipe is even cheaper. I've always got rice already in the pantry, but I buy the warehouse club-size bag of converted rice that'll last me a year. That cuts the rice cost per serving down to a rounding error and it tastes much better than regular rice. Onions and sausage are also cheaper where I am. Kroger has smoked sausage for $1.29 and it's actually not bad. Cooks up very well. Spices are a super bargain secret. Not only from Dollar Tree for a dollar each but many grocery chains now also have dollar spices. The right ones can make any bland meal into a flavor fiesta for basically almost no cost. I buy a ton of spices.

LS: How long does rice keep? I'd be worried about using it after having it more than a couple of months. Won't bugs appear in it?

Hey man, loving the series so far as it reminds me of cooking with my roomates in college. I'm thankful those days are behind me, but also grateful that people haven't forgotten that there is a need to show how to turn just a few bucks into quite a few servings of food! I haven't seen you do this, but one of the tips we used to use in my family was to take the last couple crackers or chips or whatever salty snack we had and use those to make sauces or meats more flavorful. This works with pretty much anything. I used to get the wal-mart box of "cheesy snack crackers" or whatever they were called and we'd buy the cheap pasta sauce and use some crushed up crackers to make the sauces really savory and cheesy without needing to buy a bunch of extra cheese or seasoning. And I used to love taking that last handful of stale potato chips that no one would eat and rather than throwing them away, I'd grind it into powder to add to the pan when I would do chicken and frozen veggie stir fry. Might be a bit of nostalgia talking, but you could make enough for 5 meals or more for just 5 bucks and it'd be a tasty mix of rice, chicken, and veggies! And if you remembered to add a can or two of beans and maybe some eggs into that, you could feast for a week! Or more!

I made this today, thanks for the recipe! Things I added: 2 pats butter along with extra virgin olive oil to cook the sausage & veggies in, 2 cloves garlic, 1 stalk celery, 28 oz regular canned tomato, 3 slices pickled jalapenos diced. I had no creole seasoning so I used paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder.

One-skillet meals became my specialty back when money was super tight. When there's no money for food, a lot of times that means there's not a lot of cookware either. I remember even running out of dish soap and not having money to buy any. Yeah, the apartment had a dishwasher, but dishwasher detergent is way more expensive than liquid dish soap. Anyway. You're doing something good here with these low-cost recipes. Keep it up.

I am on a diet, and I love watching the the wolfe pit!

Larry my good friend, there are always going to be folks/ viewers on here who knock these recipes & say i could eat that all by myself or i would not eat that, they have obviously never been hungry enough. There are families in dire straits who would love to have a portion. Not everybody has the money to eat til they're full or until they puke( like some of these idiots) some who posted that it looked like vomit. There are folks/ children in some 3rd world countries who eat dirt & grass just to get rid of hunger pangs, no nutritional value at all. Unfortunately here in the U.S. we have folks/children that cannot afford food to eat. God Bless you Larry, keep the recipes coming to us.

Thats great ! Sending this to my kids , we are always looking for meals on a budget 😁✌👍👍

I make something very similar to this too. Usually a medium pot can last me 3 filling meals. Rice is amazing, especially if you want to eat a thousand of something.

That sausage has many possibilities. Throw it in a pan diced with some diced onions and potatoes, milk flour salt and pepper? Daaang. Good eatin' there.

This looks better than a box of Zatarain's mixed rice. This is a great example of cooking for a family inexpensively and not having to resort to a box of overly processed food. It's extremely versatile; you can replace the sausage with just about any protein you have on hand. Well done.

That looks delicious! Going to make this for the guys at the fire station soon!

I just came back from Tunisia. They have a cheap simple meal that's similar. Seasoned rice with diced peppers, onions, courgette (Zuccini?), chillies and turmeric, cooked in chicken stock, stirred then drumsticks or thighs are placed in the mixture, skin upwards. The whole dish goes in the oven at 200 C and you just walk away for 20-25 mins. The rice gets a bit of a crust and the chicken broils and is helped by the steaming to make it fast. That's a new, cheap and easy family meal for us!

Going to try this one Larry. We regularly make a number of your "budget" recipes: Penne Pasta, Mexican Bake, Tater Tot Casserole, etc. ... we love them all!

If allowed (some dorms are strict about cooking), pick up a crock pot. I found a simple, 2 qt one for $10 at Walmart. Start it in the morning, and you can have dinner simmering away in your room when you get out of class, usually with leftovers. The slow cooking lets you use cheap, tough cuts of meat that come out fall apart tender. If you are living off campus, get a bigger one and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers. It's a great way to save money and time, both if which are in short supply when you are in school.

Im so excited for this, will use this recipe to survive this week, thank you Uncle Wolfe for helping me feed me belly and not have to go without!!!!! Edit: spelling

A must try for me since I'm not much of cooking kind of person... Easy and looks delicious!

It is hearty & yummy! After seeing this video, I realize we could add the diced tomatoes or Rotel too. Sure makes a quick & easy dinner! Six boxes make quite a lot! Thanks! By the way, we enhance the boxed macaroni & cheese with onion & bacon. Cut up 12 -16 oz. of bacon into 1/2 " pieces & cook. You can make the bacon crisp or softer, as you like. Add a large diced onion, cook till tender& set aside. Add to cooked & drained macaroni. plus the powdered cheese packet. NOTE: We don't add any butter because of the bacon fat. Yum! We make at least 6 boxes 'cause we love it!

I eat this pretty often, not because I'm broke but because it's tasty. I do replace the bell pepper with a poblano though. Bell peppers are more expensive for whatever reason.

My mom will love this. She puts that Cajun mix on everything.

Watching this series, reminds me of dishes dish my mom used to make. My fav growing up was Shepard’s pie. Cut up leftover roast (usually procured from her parents) thrown into a roux with broth stirred in, some frozen peas and carrots, a couple shirts of ketchup, a few dashes Worcestershire, topped with boxed mashed potatoes. If we didn’t have a roast, ground meat was use, witch was my favorite way. If she was really splurging, she would use frozen tots.
