My family was poor, but my mom always had a hot meal for dinner, anything from fried bologna and eggs, spam and eggs, meatloaf, greenbeans and mashed taters, and on Fridays it was always bread pudding made from the leftover bread from the past week. Please list your cheap but delicious meals your mom served you. As the economy falters many of us will be serving those tasty meals of the past.

Ground beef and rice- still my favorite comfort meal of all time.
I'm running out of ideas, so this thread is great. My family is not picky and always thanks me for the meals I make.

I’m watching this series and it brings back a ton of my grandparents cooking and lifestyle
This channel is good for inexpensive, simple recipes that taste great.

My mother was not a great cook, but I picked it up somewhere. I spend a great deal of time on the kitchen and my family is thankful I love to give them great food...(except I always overcook my chicken!) 🤣
Kudos to you for being a budget queen- in envious... that’s a great skill!!!
