Meals To Eat When You’re Broke || Cheap Meals On A Budget

[Music] thank you hello everyone welcome back to my channel what is going on yeah um so today I'm going to show you guys some dirt cheap dinners for when you're broke and they go a long ways all right the first one let's pause um it's not the first the chicken casseroes the second I am crazy it's chicken casserole four ingredients only and I'm just showing you the chicken casserole if you want to add veggies to it do it we add veggies to the side of this but I'm just showing you the cheap chicken casserole the one that my sister Emily said was like one of her favorite things because it was like a comfort food yeah I'm showing you that one but the first one that I'm going to show you is homemade goulash it sounds the name just does not sound appetizing to me goulash goulos but it's actually pretty okay it's pretty good I don't like that name somebody needs to come up with a better name that's one like goulash goulash anyways I'm concentrating on the word too much but for the goulash you're gonna need elbow macaroni why did it take so long to say that and you're gonna need two 10 ounce cans of tomato soup and these are on sale for 68 cents for the Campbell's brand I usually get the store brand but this one's cheaper you're gonna need an onion and you're gonna need some ground beef I have a cheap Franny so I got two patties because um it was cheaper to get the patties and it was the pack so that's what we're using here and there are tons of other goulash recipes that are more complicated that call for more things but this is a cheap version that I'm going to share with you guys so let's get started let's make this goulash because everybody keeps asking me when dinner's going to be done and first off we're gonna boil two cups of elbow macaroni it wasn't quite two packages of that Hispanic pasta that I had um but I don't want to overdo the pasta because it might not be salty enough so two cups edible macaroni and y'all already know that I don't wait for my water to boil when I do pasta it's just some I'm impatient I admit it okay first things first let's throw our hamburger in there okay and we're gonna cook I'm crying by the way because uh the onions are very strong but we're going to cook the onions with the hamburger meat Oh Lordy how Mercy foreign [Music] now after you've drained your meat and your onions toss in your tomato soup this doesn't call for water but I'm putting a little water in this to swish it up so I don't waste any of that okay pepper to taste that's probably a teaspoon of pepper I'm going to do the same amount of salt well maybe not that was like I have a teaspoon of salt okay now we just have to wait on the noodles who wants your noodles are done just toss them in there and try not to make a mess like I do you know you can top this with cheese if you want but that's not like a have to think it's just you know if you want to throw some cheese on there throw some cheese on there four ingredient dinner Plus Salt and Pepper yes please simple and cheap and there we go she is done and this by the way if you didn't know this pot is gigantic it is like double the size of a normal pot it completely overlaps my stove eye so yes this makes a lot of food and there she is she is done she is pretty and shiny and Meaty yes glorious color look at the Glorious color of the goulash goulash anyways once again I hate the name goulash okay baby give me a go how do you like the cheap goulash I'll get that good huh I said do you like it a lot delicious but this is a cheap way to do it actually this way is probably around not even four dollars I'll add it up when I put it here very cheap um but this is the star of the show this is the star of this right now um if you want to add a veggie to it go ahead and add a veggie to it do whatever you want to add to it add everything to it um I'm just showing you this the star of the show this is an Artful dinner this is just the poor man chicken casserole let's get started okay babies we're going to preheat our oven to 400. okay we're gonna need some cornbread stuffing mix and you're going to add everything that it says to on the package but we're not going to heat it up that's the only difference one and a half cups of water is what it says It also says you can do butter if you want I'm not gonna it just doesn't need it I honestly can't tell the difference when I use it because I've tried it with them without and I can't tell a single difference but if you want to use the butter that it calls for for this recipe then go ahead put in this casserole can't tell the difference now I'm gonna let this sit here and soak and reconstitute sorry I can't read I can't talk I'm gonna let this sit here and rehydrate the stuffing for a couple minutes do you guys remember in the Q a video my sister said one of her favorite foods that I make is my cheap chicken casserole that's this you want to add a can of cream of mushroom soup you're going to get you can get the big can if you want of the chicken oh I just spilled it all over my hand give me a moment but two small cans was cheaper and it's it works it's enough yeah don't drain it use that broth in there it helps it helps it taste good okay now we're just going to do a little bit of salt foreign as you mix it I like to use a fork because I like to chop up my chicken as I go I don't want to leave it in big chunks if you want it in chunks you can I just like mine kind of not that way and yes it looks juicy but it'll be fine when it bakes this is so simple yet so delicious and comforting yeah okay when it's the consistency you like I mean with the chicken when you have it broke up the way you want all you have to do get you a casserole dish and dump it in we are going to bake this for about 30 minutes on 400 and that's it crazy sample and super delicious put timeout um this could be an emergency meal it just hit me that chicken casserole is done that's her she looks like this um I will plate her up and give her the good old taste test Rd dangle Ryder give us a go on the chicken casserole I have to go Hood you love that don't you every time I make it and that was it that was my two dirt cheap meals for when you're broke I have a lot more and I will post them within the next coming weeks I hope you guys enjoy those if you try them they are super delicious I promise you can tweak those I will put the total price of the goulash here and the total price of the chicken casserole here four ingredient meals these are super easy crazy tasty and
