OK take an hamburger helper or spaghetti noddles.with the ham- you do what they tell you to do on the box then add sweet and spicy smelling seasonings and add them to it then take a pecie of bread and make some garlic bread and you will have a wonderful dinner. Also with the noodles boil'em drain'em session the same as you would with the hamburger- then add some beef and salsa or spaghetti sauce and put some garlic bread with that

Answer 4

my dad gave me this recipe one day over the phone just after I went to college because its easy and SUPER CHEAP!!! i dont know how many people you are trying to feed, but this feeds about 2 people (that dont eat too much)

about 1/2 box of pasta noodles ( shells or rotinior anything similar)
one can of drained tuna
one can of cream of mushroom soup (you can use cream of chicken or cream of celery if you dont like mushroom)
and just a little milk if you want it thicker

boil the noodles then drain.
remove from heat.
add the tuna, soup, and milk.
stir


here is a really good drink its kinda like a smoothie, but not really.

just blend Jones Soda (or any other kind of soda, but I like Jones because they have a lot of different flavors that dont taste like regular pop) with ice and ice cream!

Deer meat stews, meatloaf,stirfry, and kabobs. If you know someone that hunts try to get some meat from him. It's also alot less fattening. Goodluck! Also potatoes, goes good w/everything and they're cheap.
