My mom and grandmother grew up poor and my mom always saved some gravy after making stew to eat over bread. Today i do the same thing so the extra doesn't go to waste. My grandmother would always wipe the inside of a salad bowl with a piece of bread to soak up the dressing and bits of veggies left in the sides and bottom and eat the moistened bread . Yummy !
These arent poor man recipes but are DINNER ! I eat similar meals and never feel poor. Good video sweet little taste testers. One thing folks need to keep in mind is that nutrition is a daily thing. So, if, a person does not get a full 3-4 ounces of protein in one meal, snacks of peanut butter, cheese, eggs for breakfast etc ensure they get their daily allowance. I didnt see anyone complain in the comments but people often do say things such as 1 pound of meat for 6 people ? Yup, add in cheese, beans and this meal has a whole lot of protein 😊
Glad to see that you use your bacon grease! That’s what I’ve done all the 43 years I’ve been married ! Especially in green beans and pinto beans , it makes them so delicious! Save your bacon grease and use it on anything that you think it would be good in and you’ll Thank me later I’m sure of it! Happy cooking! Blessings!💕
If you don't mind a suggestion from an old lady when I use cream of whatever I fill the sink with hot tap water and sit the can down in it for about 10 minutes I will turn the can over after 5 minutes it makes it easier to pour out
Not to be critical- do you know how expensive hot water is? Do you really need to fill the entire sink? Hot water is precious. How about use a rubber scraper? That would be a better “poor man” tip.
Budget friendly tip for chili, use barley instead of beef, the beans & barley make a perfect protein & the barley takes on the flavor of the chili. And you can always add beef broth instead of water for a beefier taste. My husband never knows the difference.
I feel your pain, my love. 🙏🖤 Im the only one that cooks in my fam, yet I'm on disability. I often have to find a chair. They're all, "what's for dinner?!" (ages 31 - 73...😔) NOT CHILDREN. 😡🙄
I can no longer afford ground beef, I use the ground turkey fiesta brand from Walmart, 1/2 pound of turkey and 1 cup of cooked lentils on beef bullion cube. Lately due to the prices continuing to go up, we are going no meat meals. We buy the chili beans in the really big cans it's cheaper per ounce we eat on it for days then freeze the rest.
Do you have any discount grocery stores in your area? We have several that get the groceries super cheap for damaged crates etc and they sell the groceries at fantastic prices-- I don't know if they are available in other areas. I live in Arkansas.
Hello, just wanted to tell you about the paper towel trick. Throw one inside your ground beef, and wiggle it around so it will absorb all the grease. That way you won't have to dirty up your colander. 🙂
For them to be poor man's meals they do look pretty good. I just saw your videos for the first time and i love the name of this video, I Have a lot of poor man meals that are better than meals that cost a fortune, I'm not a person with a lot of money myself and I think this helps everyone. Thank you for sharing.
This might be the best "poor man's" mix of recipies Ive ever seen. Good variety that everyone from my family would love! And thank you SO MUCH for the further links and descriptions !!! ❤❤❤
They remind me of Southern Frugal Momma. She has to drag her kids in to taste test and the young one rolllng his eyes and falling over - stupid. Kid testing videos turn me off.
I grew up with & love S.O.S.! The only wet ingredient we use is milk. Then salt & pepper it up. Then eat it on toast. Sooooo Yummy!!! One of my all time favorite meals!
One of our favorite easy dinners is beef & taters...we call it "hamburger hash". I don't add corn; I stir in a good squeeze of ketchup and a splash of water. Sometimes, I skip the ketchup and water and just add a can of pork & beans with their sauce. I have prepared most of the meals you shared during my 40+ years of married life, even when money wasn't tight. I consider this "good country cookin'"...the fact that it's budget friendly is just an added blessing!
Hello. Thank you for the ideas. I noticed that you make a lot of dishes with round beef, pasta and tomato products. Have you considered meatloaf or meatballs with a white sauce? Or maybe a curry with coconut milk. Hamburger with a variety of topping choices is another different option. This will give your babies a variety of different things to eat. Ground bulgogi is another ground beef meal. Just some ideas. Keep up the good job feeding your family!
I’ve been making chili Mac for 30 years. I use a can of Nellie’s jalapeño chili and a box of Kraft Mac n cheese, then add about 1/2 cup shredded cheese. My family love it
I agree the bread under the gravy is the best. I don't eat rice. I cook with tomatoes. Would eat many of the foods you cook. There are several in this video I want to try so saving it.
I get a whole pork loin ground up and use it in chili, meatloaf, tacos... much cheaper than beef, and more flavor. Usually less than 2.00 a pound. You cant buy bologna that cheap.😊
one of my favorite meals is: 1 box spanish rice made following directions on box. Brown 1 pound ground beef with diced onions. when both are done combine. So good and fairly cheap.
Kids are adorable and well behaved!! ❤ A lot of ground meat, pasta and tomato sauces. I make the cookies with cake mixes so, many ways to make easy cookies, made Chocolate fudge with white chocolate chip Mix today and refrigerated them to bake tomorrow!
I made Shepard pie tonight. I chopped up some mushrooms and red onion and sautéed it then added some shredded carrots. Once soft i removes it from the pan. Then i used ground beef and cooked it up. Seasoned it and drained off the grease. Not ALL of the grease but most of it. Then i added 2 tsp of beef bouillon. The better than bouillon beef flavoring. Let that cook for a min then added a few tbs of flour and let it cook off and added about a cup of water. Let it cook. Add back the veg. Cook for a few min then added to my casserole dish. Added corn to the top of the meat/veg mix. Homemade mash taters on top...so good. I also make a healthier version using ground chicken/turkey. Cook the ground meta. Set aside. Cook up mushrooms, onions and garlic. Once soft, add some frozen peas...add ground meat to casserole dish then mushroom/onion mix. Add mashed sweet potatoes on tops cook for like ten mins in oven. SO. GOOD. And a bit healthier.
I have. Never seen shephards pie like that. I ve always had it with lamb (shephards) or gr beef (cottage). I add green beans instead of mixed veggies and rough mash my potatoes.
@@wendy-ld5ck Don't need to be British. Both my PA Dutch and Scotts Irish families called their elderly female parent Mum. We also called our parents Mummy and Daddy when we were young, reverting to Mum & Dad when we were adults.
That shepherds pie looks so interesting! I love that it doesn't have any meat. Makes it easy and cheap. I'm definitely going to try that one! Regarding dutch ovens, I have two of the Amazon ones. They were pretty deeply discounted a couple of years ago for the holidays so I couldn't pass it up.
Try that hamburger gravy with mash potatoes, so delicious! If you don't have soup, another poor man way to make that is instead of soup, put your milk in and salt & pepper, delicious.
I used to love S.o.S as a kid I haven't made it in so long but sos on toast was great. A friend of mine also introduced me to cream corn on toast. It's like extra poor man meal but when i was a kid I loved it. I could make it myself and it tasted delish. Buttered toast with cream corn on top. Yum.
Wow, you have made me so hungry with all this great food. I have ate plenty today too but still made me hungry. Everything looks fabulus. Love your kiddos....they look like really good children too and sooo cute.
What a wonderful cook you are. These recipes look so delicious. Your children are beyond precious. So well behaved and not finicky. You have a lovely kitchen as well. Thank you so very much for all these great recipes, even though I am almost 74 and live alone I think most of these recipes could be divided and frozen in smaller quantities for later or taken to a hungry neighbor.So grateful for all your ideas for dinner! You are the very best! Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐕 companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 🐕💕😘👍🐰🐥🐾💌🏠✝️🙏🌵🙋🤓🤸🧑🦽🧗🍄🐣🐤😍

I make Shepherds pie very differently. I use a pie crust on the bottom with chicken breast mixed veg and cream of chicken and put mashed potato on top.
Enjoyed your video. Fun watching your tasters as well all so cute! Really good suggestions as well. It so funny I think everyone has a shepherd/cottage pie recipe but it is interesting to me see everyone's spin on it! Yours look good! Thank you
It's great to hear so many home cooked meals. I grew up with tight means as well. But I'm wondering why there's hardly ever any fresh produce served. Fruits and veggies are literally the most cost effective and healthiest foods and are an endless variety of meals options. Not to be negative but meat is normally a luxury for a lot of people who are budget conscious.
Great meals, I'm going to try that sloppy joe casserole tomorrow, we've never tried it before, (Glasgow, Scotland here). To be honest, they all looked really good. Thank you for sharing xx
Wow everything you made looked amazing I remember eating some of those meals when I was young I swear my momma could put together an amazing meal with what little she had.
Everything looks delicious,love home made bread, as a kid I couldn’t. Wait until it came out of the oven lots of butter, yummy in the tummy. Boy would I love a slice,just love your meals, I about the way I cooked, my kids grew up really great and gorgeous. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️
A wonderful meal and some great ideas on putting together budget friendly meals that taste wonderful hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy, and Debbie. I really appreciate these kinds of videos.
Your children are adorable and so well behaved. it's great that they are not picky eaters. I make a lot of what you are showing but we eat a lot more chicken than ground beef. What I 'm sure you do when not rushed doing a video is rinsing out the can soup can with either milk or broth or plain water to get every bit out. Keep up the great work. 😊😂
I wish I could only cook 1 pound of hamburger to add to a casserole. I have a family of 4 with healthy appetites. Love your channel, just became a subscriber 😊
Hi, hello from England........gosh I wouldn't call these poor man meals......beef in this country is expensive so we use chicken or half beef half lentils with grated carrots, turnip ,celery ,garlic and tomatoes chopped with herbs.....serve with pasta and garlic bread tastes great. I also use frozen veg if on special offer......I make allot of vegetarian meals as well.....used with pulses and cheese is a very nutritious meal
In my family sos or hamburger gravy was put over a boiled potato. Cooked with the jacket on. It was up to the person if they wanted the skin on or off. We also had a veg with it.
These days poor men can't afford ground beef by the pound after pound. One once of ground beef is an adult serving for a sunday dinner treat. :( 36:34 The pan grinning at me just made me laugh. Corndog casserole - fry onions and thin sliced hotdogs till browned in places, mix into jiffy cornbread mix made with egg and a can creamed corn, bake in a cake pan. The corn and onions give it tons of flavor and the sweetness a of corndog.
Im from an older generation, and southern. I was taught SOS was a creamy chipped beef gravy served on toast. Your SOS looks more like stroganoff sauce to me, especially since your using cream of mushroom soup. Next time try it with some egg noodles it will deffo will be super yummy and filling/
I remember as a kid we often had breakfast for supper, waffles and eggs, sausage, or sausage gravy with biscuits. I miss those days. It's an affordable dinner, that's for sure. I love seeing your precious children, they are so well-behaved and adorable.
This video reminds me so much of my childhood and how my own Mom cooked. And the meals that we grew up on. What a great video. - Hudson James Co-Host of "Stories Round the Table with Hudson & Joni"
Canned cream soups are just a canned white sauce. Memorize how to make white sauce it's way cheaper and way tastier than canned stuff. Their are a multitude of frugal recipes you can make with a homemade white sauce....SOS, sausage gravy, mac & cheese, tuna noodle casserole, tuna melts, chix or tuna pot pie, hamburger gravy.....on and on. WHITE SAUCE = equal parts butter(or other fat) and flour (I usually do 2T. or 1/4c. depending on what im making) cook and stir together for a couple of minutes then whisk in milk until the desired consistency is reached (it will continue to thicken as it sits). Very fast, very frugal, very versatile, very tasty. 😊👍 🍽️
Your son's T-shirt still had the sticker on it and then I was thinking it was probably a Christmas gift since you uploaded this video 8 months ago. I enjoyed watching the recipes, but the sticker on his t-shirt was the highlight for me. 😂 Your kids are adorable and they seem to be good eaters! Thanks for sharing these great recipes! ❤
Loved the Shepherds Pie - never saw it made this way. Great option for a meatless meal. I think I'm going to add some cooked lentils or beans of some sort to add protein - will be trying this for one for sure!
Hey Sweet Lady New Sub here. I just found your channel and this video was great!! Reminded me of a lot of the dishes I grew up with. Can’t wait to checkout more of your videos! God Bless! 💜
I'm a new subscriber. Love your recipes. Easy to make and affordable ingredients. I love pasta dishes and you've shown me so many options. Thank you very much. Love your kids and love your video. Watching from Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands 🇲🇵 neighboring Guam 🇬🇺. Keep making simple and delicious recipes ❤. God bless...
I grew up poor enough to have bread and gravy for supper often. I can now afford to eat what I want, and I still make bread and gravy for myself.
Came up with some great recipes and some clever twist on once we’ve already used in the past
Ever had poke salad with scrambled eggs?
Me too, my dad called is SOS.he said he was served it when he was in the army back in the late 50’s early 60’s
We all have our own comfort food😊

Never thought of barley.
I love that a lot of these are one pot meals. I have health issues and do most of my cooking sitting on a stool. It makes it so much easier ❤to
They are!! I love one pot meals as they make my life I tad bit easier!
@@CookiesandBacon22 yes they do. Plus being budget friendly and delicious. Definitely winners!

Not the healthiest food for kids. Carbs & sweets 😬
Grocery prices almost doubled. First time I came across your videos and I enjoyed watching them. Your TASTERS ARE SUPER ADORABLE🥰🥰🥰🥰

If you can find ground chicken it is sometimes cheaper than ground turkey.
Veggies aren’t cheap either. I mean up here a head of iceberg lettuce is $4 and a cucumber is $2. If we’re lucky 2 lbs of carrots is $3.50
Hello, just wanted to tell you about the paper towel trick. Throw one inside your ground beef, and wiggle it around so it will absorb all the grease. That way you won't have to dirty up your colander. 🙂
What you call S.O.S., we called hamburger gravy, & eat it on mashed potatoes. Im 76, & its still one of my go to meals. Thanks mom!! 😊
That was a staple in our home growing up!
How can you afford to employ so many taste testers? They must not be unionized. 😋❤️ Just kidding! They’re adorable!
funny kathynorth4142
😂❤
Shush 🙊 they might unionize 😮
Super funny! 😁
Why say poor man meals say money saving meals or economically consertive meals lmao😊
Not poor man. Good cooking. You remind me of me when my kids were young an my husband was active duty military. Your a good cook. 😊
Thanks!

“Look at my bowl. It’s already empty.”
What a precious response. ❤️❤️❤️
I just love it when your children do taste-testing for your dishes. They were so cute waiting in line for their turn at the cookie bars.
Omg I loved that scene also
With the cost of groceries, your a rock star with how you're able to make some great meals that kids like!!! Kudos!
Thanks so much!!
Your kids are adorable! They do not seem picky at all!
Not too bad. My boys don’t like green veggies but other than that they are pretty good!
They remind me of Southern Frugal Momma. She has to drag her kids in to taste test and the young one rolllng his eyes and falling over - stupid. Kid testing videos turn me off.

One of my all time favorite meals!
I do the same, and I like it with ground chuck over mashed potatoes.
We did this as a kid and haven’t had it in so long.
We make it like you do, and also eat it on toast. We will sometimes use Buddig lunchmeat beef and that is pretty good too.

These were every night dinners in my family .The good old Minnesota hot dish.We swore it was the only thing our Mum knew how to cook!
Mum? In Minnesota? Is your Mum British?
@@wendy-ld5ck nope just called her that. Could be how close we live to Canada
@@wendy-ld5ck Don't need to be British. Both my PA Dutch and Scotts Irish families called their elderly female parent Mum. We also called our parents Mummy and Daddy when we were young, reverting to Mum & Dad when we were adults.

In my family sos or hamburger gravy was put over a boiled potato. Cooked with the jacket on. It was up to the person if they wanted the skin on or off. We also had a veg with it.
Best taste testers ever children are honest about food
Especially my oldest son, he’s brutal lol
These days poor men can't afford ground beef by the pound after pound. One once of ground beef is an adult serving for a sunday dinner treat. :(
36:34 The pan grinning at me just made me laugh.
Corndog casserole - fry onions and thin sliced hotdogs till browned in places, mix into jiffy cornbread mix made with egg and a can creamed corn, bake in a cake pan. The corn and onions give it tons of flavor and the sweetness a of corndog.
Kid tested!!!!! Love it! Some of these recipes remind me of the things we ate as a child......many years ago! LOL!
Im from an older generation, and southern. I was taught SOS was a creamy chipped beef gravy served on toast. Your SOS looks more like stroganoff sauce to me, especially since your using cream of mushroom soup. Next time try it with some egg noodles it will deffo will be super yummy and filling/
My SOS is also chipped beef over toast, but I'm from Ohio
Yes,that’s how I make it…must be from Pa?
So glad I found your channel n letting your children engage in video
I remember as a kid we often had breakfast for supper, waffles and eggs, sausage, or sausage gravy with biscuits. I miss those days. It's an affordable dinner, that's for sure. I love seeing your precious children, they are so well-behaved and adorable.
Thank you so much!
This video reminds me so much of my childhood and how my own Mom cooked. And the meals that we grew up on. What a great video. - Hudson James Co-Host of "Stories Round the Table with Hudson & Joni"
Canned cream soups are just a canned white sauce. Memorize how to make white sauce it's way cheaper and way tastier than canned stuff. Their are a multitude of frugal recipes you can make with a homemade white sauce....SOS, sausage gravy, mac & cheese, tuna noodle casserole, tuna melts, chix or tuna pot pie, hamburger gravy.....on and on. WHITE SAUCE = equal parts butter(or other fat) and flour (I usually do 2T. or 1/4c. depending on what im making) cook and stir together for a couple of minutes then whisk in milk until the desired consistency is reached (it will continue to thicken as it sits). Very fast, very frugal, very versatile, very tasty. 😊👍 🍽️
Once again you’re amazing !!!!!! TY

Your son's T-shirt still had the sticker on it and then I was thinking it was probably a Christmas gift since you uploaded this video 8 months ago. I enjoyed watching the recipes, but the sticker on his t-shirt was the highlight for me. 😂 Your kids are adorable and they seem to be good eaters! Thanks for sharing these great recipes! ❤

Thankyou ! I have never thought to add cream cheese ! Your little fam is adorable !!!! It must be a favorite comfort meal im sure 🙂
Loved the Shepherds Pie - never saw it made this way. Great option for a meatless meal. I think I'm going to add some cooked lentils or beans of some sort to add protein - will be trying this for one for sure!
This really helps, thank you very much. God bless. Jesus loves you!
Well, I'm just going to go ahead and try some of these ideas!
Thanks for so many great ideas! Try the paper towel trick to remove excess grease it's quick and easy and will cut back on the dirty dishes ❤
Your "spaghetti egg drop soup" looks intriguing... have to try it. Your other recipes are tasty looking as well. 😊
