Cheap creative recipes?

Question

Do you have any kick *** recipes? I like to come up with my own kind of food and stuff, and I wanted to try something really original. It might put my mom at ease if she knew it had already been tested.

Any kind of recipes, dinner, snack, lunch, whatever is a-okay with me. :)

INGREDIENTS
2 cups hickory smoke flavored barbeque sauce
1 (2 liter) bottle cherry cola

DIRECTIONS
In a Dutch oven, large enough to hold your chicken, combine the barbeque sauce, 1 liter of cola and grape jelly. Add the chicken and pour in more cola if needed to cover it. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour, adding more cola as needed to keep the chicken covered.
Preheat a grill for medium heat. Remove the chicken from the sauce, and place on the grill.
Cook, turning frequently for about 20 minutes, just until the skin is crispy. Heat the leftover sauce over high heat and boil for about 10 minutes to serve alongside the chicken.

Answer 2

Taco Soup

1 Pound Hamburger (Minced Beef)– Browned & Drained
1 Pack Taco Seasoning
1 Can Ro-tel Tomatoes (has jalapeno in it)
(can is the size of a Campbell’s soup can)
1 Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 Can Corn – Whole Kernel
1 Can of Water

Mix together & cook until it looks/smells done - although everything is already cooked - so you COULD eat it as soon as it gets hot. You can also put it in a crockpot/slow cooker.
(After you make it with the recipe one time to see what it is like - the next time you can also add carrots, peas, white beans, pinto beans, potatoes - just any vegetable you like best.)
After you put it in your bowl – taste it, it is great that way and less fattening – then put a big blob of sour cream in it and mix it up – then taste it again.
Garnish with black olives, cheese, onions, chives – whatever makes you happy.
I multiply the recipe (using less meat and more corn - just a personal preference) and freeze containers of it to pop in the microwave to thaw and heat later.

Answer 3

i love this salad southwestern chicken salad:
Grill a chicken breast and cut it up in small strips.

Place some lettuce on the bottom of a plate. Spoon some corn/beans on the lettuce. Place the chicken on top of it. If you have some french onions add those to the plate.
