CHARLIE'S CHEAP CHILI

1 lb. extra lean chopped beef
1 can peeled tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 lg. yellow onions, chopped
1/2 sm. green pepper, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin

Brown the beef and onions in a 12 inch skillet and drain before adding all other ingredients. Simmer for 1-2 hours. Serves 2 with healthy appetites!

CHEAP BEEF STROGANOFF

2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. diced onions
Garlic
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. salt
1 can sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. ground beef
1 can consomme
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 bag egg noodles
1 pt. sour cream

In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt butter, saute onion and garlic until soft. Sprinkle mixed flour, salt and pepper over meat. Add meat and mushrooms to skillet and cool. Stir often for 6 minutes.
Stir in consomme, vinegar, tomato paste. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Stir often, cook until desired consistency. Cook noodles for 14 minutes, drain in hot water, return to cooking pan after melting 2 tablespoons butter. Blend in sour cream just before serving and simmer 2 minutes to heat. Serve over noodles.

CHEAP 'N' EASY CHICKEN

2-3 lbs. raw chicken (your choice of pieces)
8 oz. plain yogurt
1-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cardamon powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp. ginger powder

Mix everything except the chicken, in a large stainless steel pan. Add the chicken and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours. Remove from marinade and place chicken, skin side up on broiler rack. Broil until seared on top. If it takes less than 10 minutes, your chicken is too close to the heat. If it takes longer than 20 minutes, your chicken is too far from heat.
Turn chicken over and broil for 2-3 minutes or less. Remove chicken to serving platter. Simmer marinade for 5 minutes, pour over chicken, garnish with parsley (or whatever) and serve with rice. Voila!
