Yes...my Grandma said they ate a lot of gravy. She said it was a big deal if you could afford to put a little ground meat in it. (if company was coming). This was during the depression.
This is why a lot of old Grandmothers ate chicken backs and stuff. To let the rest of the family have the "good" food.
But yes, rice, beans, potatoes

Mac and cheese. I make my own hamburger helper type meals as well. When we were growing up, I remember mom making what was called SOS. lol Ground beef browned, drained, and flour sprinkled well over all the meat, add milk stirring constantly to make a gravy for it, add a chunk of butter and stir in. We would put bread slices on our plates and pour the gravy mixture over it. It was delicious and we probably didn't even realize it was an economical meal for mom to fee her family. Guys that served in the army like my dad had this served often to them.

rice and hummus. :-) Contrary to popular belief hummus is cheap to make. Chick peas, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and ground sesame seeds. I still can't understand why they charge so much for it in the restaurants.
