Low budget meal

Assuming I have no ingredients besides spices and sauces, what is the best dish I can make for under $20?

20$ for a meal is not low budget

Tomato basil soup.

elaborate on "sauces"

I was going to make burgers and onion rings, but that's like $30. So...

>poorfag
>purchases pre made sauce

Nigga you're doing it wrong. But just drink a bottle of aldredo.

Bbq, mustard, lea&perrins. Nothing canned.

Ground beef is 3 dollars a pound. How many burgers are you making?

>burgers and onion rings
>$30
wut

*I realize I should have said condiments now

He's trolling

Dal

Do you have bread OP?

$ ingredient
4 buns
4 meat
5 bacon
1 onion
3 cheese
4 butter
3 milk
1 eggs
3 pickles
+__________
28 -> +tax ~$30

Nope

if you have a good amount of bbq sauce...

buy chicken breast and buns,
poach chicken with spices
shred chicken
mix with bbq sauce in pot
simmer for a few hours
serve in bun and enjoy

if you have any leftover money buy booze.

You don't need three milk to batter onion rings.

Dude has no bread.

I don't eat chicken...

dude has twenty bucks

>buy pasta
>add sauce
>??????
>enjoy
unless you have no suitable sauce, then roll over and die

I always use milk in onion ring batter though. If I'm gonna spend money to cook something, I at least want to do it right.

>milk
use beer you faggos

Beer batter is shit famm.

well then what in the absolute fuck are you doing here?

>saged

I know. I hate that I can't eat it. It's just too disgusting every time I try it :'^(

...

Why do you have BBQ sauce if you don't eat chicken?

Serious question

Burgers, hotdogs, fries, etc.

OP here. Fuck it. Got stuff for burgers and onion rings. Only cost $23. Will post results later.

$20? Buy some rice and vegetables.

You could get a 5kilo bag of rice, 2 dozen eggs and a bag of frozen chicken parts all for around $20, and that'd feed you for almost a month

Results.

Looks good.

have you made putanesca?

it's cheap slutty pasta. good protein/calorie ratio too

Thanks man.

Maybe I'll give it a try sometime

You could make a weeks worth of Spaghetti bolognese
>Mince
>Carrots
>Celery
>Onions
>Canned tomato
>Pasta
>Cheese

easily under 20

>slutty pasta
It's hooker pasta, dumbass.

tomato tomahto

A lot of things

Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni is cheap and can be made in a big batch

Comparing pizza to that disgusting, sodium laden yellow man food..."BORN IN THE USA!"

That looks like an entire day's worth of cooking

Here are your options:

>Buy a shitton of top ramen at the 99 cents store.

>buy a giant bag of rice for 10$

>buy a sack of potatoes should be 10$ very versatile you can bake them, mash them, boil themchop them up very filling.

>Add either of the following to above by mixing and/or matching eggs, vegetables, meat, hot sauce, cream cheese, garlic salt, lemon pepper, tomatoes, butter, ect at a 99$ store or any local dollar store.

>For drinks buy kool-aid powder, ice tea powder, or even get club soda and add any cheap juice/fruit juice to make soda.

I am broke af but i eat like a king.

>$10.01 tip

>Implying you can buy shit in such small portions.
Good luck with that, amigo

do you live in Manhattan or something? I live right outside of NYC and could probably make that same meal for

I FEED A FAMILY THIS IS LEGIT
$7.37 feeds 5 Americans.

8 pack of chicken thighs $2.88 @ $0.65/lb
5lb Bag of Potatos $2.49
2 cans corn $1 @ $0.50/ea
2 cans green beans $1 @ $0.50/ea

Baked Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Green Beans

If you already have butter & salt feeds 5 for $7.37.

If you need butter and salt, add additional $4.

>8 pack of chicken thighs $2.88 @ $0.65/lb

Holy shit no wonder you burgers are all so fat. That would be at least $10 in leafland

It's true. It is exactly why.

It's the lowest of the low shit tier factory farmed chicken injected with 10% chemical solution. Without question it could not be sold in Canada.

Where in 'murica are you buying chicken thighs, friend? I live in MO, and I'm pleased to be buying them under $2/lb.

I'm no vegetarian but meat shouldn't be that cheap. Ethically, environmentally and financially.

A $20 bill has low nutritional values, it might not be worth eating at all.

200g of prawn cutlets, a bunch of parsley, a bulb of garlic, a small hot chili and some olive oil or butter.

Heat your fat in the pan, chop the garlic, parsley and chili, throw it in the pan with the prawns and cook until the prawns are white instead of somewhat see-through.

Wa-la

>prawn cutlets
Why would I ever want to eat that

not having cheese, eggs butter, milk in your house at all times

are you retarded nigger?

You must be australian

YO HIJACKING THIS THREAD

I'm 2k in debt and about to get a job thank fucking god.

>4 buns
>4 meat
>5 bacon
>3 cheese
>3 milk
>3 pickles

Im very confused, this is fucking with me so bad rn

Dollars.

ah yes thank you for clearing that up for me

Rice and beans.

Not canned beans, dry ones soaked and flavored

F-Fuck I hate beans.
I was force fed them as a kid.

Lentils? Chickpeas?

Mix it up and use different seasonings, you probably hated being force-fed them cooked bland

Also
>Use half lentils & half beef to stretch your beef if you have some

The noble potato and meat on sale will sustain you.

Also beans and rice and whatever else these other commies will tell you.

Ah yes, the noble potato. The best grenade Russia can buy.

So powerful that potato withdrawal killed a million Irishmen in the 1840's.
