A big ol' pot of beans with ham-hock, served with corn bread and a wedge of red onion (raw), was one of my favorite "poor-man's" meals as a kid.

I have a couple things I call "quick and dirty" food. One is to make a box of black bean and rice mix, put it in a tortilla which some cheddar, roll it up and eat. Or just the quick and dirty quesadilla. Cheese in one tortilla, folded over and fried. Or the quick and dirty hot dog. One slice white bread, one slice American cheese, one hot dog. Nuke for 35 seconds, fold the bread up like a bun, add some ketchup or mustard and eat. Grilled cheese with garlic spray instead of butter, and eat it while dipping it in Miracle Whip.
I've got tons more. After cooking all day, sometimes you just want something easy, cheap, and fast because you're tired and not hungry.

Poor Man's Breakfast:
Homemade egg mcmuffin.
Turkey Bacon
English muffin
Butter/Margarine
All made to perfection.
Lunch:
I think oodles of noodles takes the cake.
But you can make speghetti and use pasta sauce and tuna instead of meat. It actually tastes GREAT and is way less in fat.
Pancakes are poor man means too.

I made Tuna and Noodles a lot as a poor student: pasta tossed with a white sauce and canned tuna, and frozen or canned veggies (peas were my favourite).
Now I do it with shrimp and scallops, add some Parmesan... still yummy!

Spaghetti, with or without meat and add veggies if you got 'em. A can of stewed tomatoes, tomato paste and a packet of spaghetti sauce to make a great sauce!

Goulash, I put macarroni elbows, ground beef, italian sausage (only if I am lucky to have some), spaghetti sauce, and onions. It is quick, cheap, and tasty (okay it is no foie gras, but it is filling)
