GLP Recession Proof Meals - Cooking goes a long way in lieu of buying crap

Tesla's Homemade Sausage, Beans and Rice.
_____________________________________________________________​_
2- large kielbasa type smoked sausages. (At Kroger they are 2 for $5)

3- 14.5 OZ Cans organic black beans (At Kroger $0.68 each)

1- 14.5 OZ can of Kroger organic diced tomatios with sauce. Low sodium.

1- Red Onion

2- tablespoons olive oil

1- 1-LB bag of brown rice (Don't use Minute or quick rice) Use real rice.
____________________________________________________________
​
Cut up the sausage into small pieces. Brown it in a skillet. Drain off the fat then rinse the meat with cold water and return it to the skillet.

Boil 6 quarts of water and cook the rice. This makes a butt load of rice. When done strain and drain the rice.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the meat in the skillet. Add the onion finely chopped and brown the combination together.

Then add the cooked rice to the skillet along with the tomatoes and sauce.

Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Drain and rinse the 3 cans of black beans.

Add them to the skillet and mix well.

Add a bit of Cajun seasoning, pink Himalayan salt and some ground black pepper to taste. We like a bit of Mrs. Dash.

Put it on very low heat and let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour.

BON APPETIT!

I figure it costs around $12.00 to make this. There are at least 8 meals in a batch. Big time leftovers if you are into that.

That is $1.50 per meal. And it is real food that is good for you. If you want to splurge and spend an extra fifty cents on the meal, have a salad with it.

Why eat shitty fast food or some other crap when you can eat properly and not break the budget.

Come on someone, how about another recipe?

How about that one ? Didn't like it ?

I had some leftover sausage and some hamburger that I didn't want to go to waste. So, I made a small meatloaf mixture from the hamburger, sausage, onion, carrot, bread croutons, egg, and milk. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Cut a large acorn squash in half and heaped the meatloaf into the squash nice and very full. Made a glaze from ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce - put all over the squash/meatloaf, and baked at 350 for about an hour and a half. YUM

Doesn't actually sound revulsing, but I wouldn't call this "recession-proof" or thrifty cooking by a far cry.

Making all this into a meatloaf and baking it (again) - for 1 hour and a half, no less ) - will not add to its life-giving potential other than making it able to provide calories. It will help you fatten quickly, that's for sure.

Sounds tasty!

CHICKEN CACCIATORE IN A POT:

8 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
1 can peeled whole tomatoes
1 can of water
4-5 large potatoes, cut in 4 pieces
2 green celery sticks, sliced
1 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 Tbsp. dry rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 Tbsp. oil for frying

- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and fry them in frying pan on both sides with little bit of oil, put aside
- In the same remaining oil fry onions
- Pour tomatoes with juice into a large pot and add 1 can of water, bring to a boil and add: Onions, garlic, celery, rosemary, potatoes and vinegar, cook everything together for 20 minutes
- Add chicken thighs and cook for another 30-40 minutes till the chicken and potatoes become tender
- If necessary add little bit of water when it evaporates during cooking

* I am not kidding with the vinegar as it goes together with this receipt
* I like this sauce a lot, so I use 2 cans of tomatoes and 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar

Are you sure about this ?

Sounds obscene.

It should be thighs, of course. English is my third language and I made mistake, so my apology.

But... Your description of my mistake using the word "obscene" sounds OBSCENE to me. Wonder what's on your mind? Whatever...

Bump

Because of this thread...

A special THANK YOU to the “Old Guard.”


LEFTOVER PASTA RECIPE:

Any leftover cooked pasta
100-150 grams bacon or 2 hot dogs, sliced (optional)
4 eggs
1 medium white onion, chopped
oil for frying
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. green parsley or onions for garnish, chopped (optional)

- In the frying pan, fry bacon and onions
- Add pasta and fry for 3-5 minutes longer on a low heat
- Add eggs, salt with peeper and fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes till the eggs whites are solid, stirring the pasta occasionally

Instead of bacon you may add to the pan sliced hot dogs at the same time as pasta. You may do this way pasta only with fried onions and eggs. Taste good on its own or with ketchup on the side.

OMG this was fucking amazing bro

Another thread reminded me of this granola. Easy to make and very adaptable. You can substitute, leave out the nuts or coconut, and do a lot with it. You can use it as cereal or make it into trail or snack bars. It can be done in the oven, or a dehydrator. If it looks too expensive the way it is, the oats, syrup and raisins or other fruit still make a better granola than you can buy. Better yet if a little flavoring like vanilla, almond, cinnamon, etc. is added.


Granola
1 c. sliced almonds or any nut you prefer
5 c. oats
1 c. shredded coconut
1 c. raisins or other dried fruit
(I use dried cherries but add after the granola has been baked or dried)
1/2 c. maple syrup (to save money you could use Mapeline with corn syrup if you use it)
1/2 c. honey
1/3 c. oil
Mix ingredients all together until all ingredients are covered in the honey, maple syrup and oil. Place granola on a baking sheet at 150-170 degrees and bake for 1-2 hours or until dry or dry in food dehydrator.

Buy on sale and save! All most anything can be frozen for later use.

Welcome to 1929
This is pathetic

U realize the USA is OFFICALLY a Third World country
As a result of this thread and its impending undertones of desperation
Sad .... Necessary and sad

[link to biology.clc.uc.edu]

I took a 5 gallon bucket filled with young london rocket (damn stuff grew during winter here in Arizona) and washed it all thoroughly and did some pickling. I used it as a side when I want something tart, tangy and a touch hot. Cost: zero.

I did have to mow a field of it down a few days later, but at least I got something out of it.

As far as meat, I have a lake or two that is filled with crayfish/crawdads and I can spend an afternoon dipping a chicken leg into the water and retrieving it with a mini lobster grabbing it. I fill a small cooler in a day's hunting.

Cost: gas money.

There you go. Recession proof survival.

ANOTHER VERSION OF EGG PATE:

4 Tbsp. yellow cheese
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

margarine and bread crumbs for baking dish

- Spread with margarine and sprinkle with bread crumbs loaf baking dish
- Chop boiled eggs, dill, green parsley, green onions and mix together with green peas, sour cream, bread crumbs, raw egg yolk and add salt/pepper to taste
- Beat egg white with a dash of salt until fluffy and fold delicately into the egg mixture
- Pour the egg mixture into baking dish and sprinkle the top with bread crumbs, shredded cheese and melted butter or margarine
- Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes

:LORVB:

If you can, why not to buy few hens for your own fresh organic eggs?

You can even give them some fancy haircuts like Tori Spelling gave to her chickens.... This time I am kidding, of course...

All your recipes sound delicious, but are they really recession-proof?

I like this thread for the concept. But I'm looking for SHTF recipes. Like beans. Nuts. Honey. Stuff that doesn't require cooking nor is water-intensive.

I posted a link to this thread in the thread below it in hopes the people there would find their way here with their concerns.

Sharing knowledge at this point will keep people out of your business down the line.

Chicken and Dumplings the easy way:

Wide skillet
2 cans pot pie soup
1 can of biscuits

Put soup in pan on med. High
Cut biscuits in quarters and place randomly in pan
Cover for 20 min.

You can also take leftovers and add
Mushroom soup and put in the dumplings.

Indeed - that's what i thought to myself.
You don't need recipes with 36 ingredients half of which are not cheap at all while a recession is going full blast.

Tesla Coil.


Take 1,000 pounds (or 500 kg) of minced meat, prepare as you would for a meatloaf. Shape into a toroid.

Put into a (big ass) oven with sub-cooking temperature for about 6 hrs to give your Tesla Coil time to gently be penetrated by the heat. Then turn up the heat as you would for a normal meat loaf and bake for another 1/2 hour.

Serve with some parsley on top. Serves 2,500-3,000.

No need to apologize, I had a good laugh.

But why should anything be wrong with MY mind ?
It's you who wrote "tights", remember ?

The question is, who is lacking a sense of humor here ?

On my mind was the right thing, it was my grammar that wasn’t right.

And funny things make me laugh, not obscene.....
