<p>What are you best budget friendly recipes? I'm especially interested in recipes that make enough for multiple meals. Here's mine:</p>
<p><strong>Versatile Meat Mambo</strong><br>
Approximately <strong>$12.50</strong> total or $1.14 a serving<br>
Makes Approximately <strong>11 servings</strong>
~ Whole Foods prices<br>
$8 - 2 lbs Ground Turkey thighs (or beef if you don't mind spending double on the meat)<br>
$0.15 - 4 tsp Organic Italian Seasoning blend<br>
$0.72 - 4 Eggs<br>
$2.39 - 1 can organic diced Tomatoes<br>
$1.09 - 1 can tomato paste<br>
3 minced garlic
Yellow Onion diced
1 tsp salt </p>
<p>Mix it all together in a big bowl, and put it in big rectangular Pyrex cooking dish. Smooth meat so fat distributes evening on top. Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. </p>
<p>I eat this with one or two fried eggs at breakfast, mix it up with frozen broccoli and spinach at lunch, and then throw it on a salad with an olive oil/vinegar dressing. I also have it by itself for a meal or a snack. Lasts for quite a while. Would probably work to freeze half of it, or just half the recipe if you don't need quite that much meat. </p>
<p>I think it's really quite tasty and it's versatile enough that I can eat it for days and not get bored. It does it's job, which is to be some ready made tasty protein I can pair with just about anything. </p>
<p>Please share if you have any simple recipes that are cheap!</p>

<p>Stuffed Bell Peppers
Serves 2 people:</p>
<ul>
<li>preheat oven to 400</li>
<li>1 lb ground beef - browned</li>
<li>1/2 c onion - sauteed</li>
<li>season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika</li>
<li>mix beef & onions</li>
<li>Cut three bell peppers in half and remove seeds (I use yellow)</li>
<li>fill peppers with beef mixture</li>

Basically, how to make ancestral eating, or paleo-ish diets accessible to as many people as possible. Everything ended up being in the $5-ish range and under using minimal ingredients.</p>
<p>It's worth a peek, I think there are 5-7 recipes WITH photos so you'll know what you're getting into :) </p>
