Any recipes for tasty, cheap, and easy food?

I am a single guy and have to cook for myself every night. I am looking for something that I could cook in a large quantity that could last at least a few days. I might be asking too much but I want something that is reasonably healthy, cheap, easy to make, and tastes good. Anyone have any recipes or know any websites with recipes like this??Any recipes for tasty, cheap, and easy food?
yes! i have your answer!


make a healthy lasagna.


you need lasagna sheets.


pumpkin.


carrot sliced finely.(2)


zucchini (1)


Lean minced meat(500g)


2 cans of diced tomatoes


pepper


salt(if wanted)


oregano(optional)


skim milk(2 cups)


1 cup of flour


some cheese.


1 onion


tomato paste.





1. now cook the onions, then add the carrot and zucchini and other vegetables to lightly cook.


put them in a bowl.


2. cook the meat then add the vegetables back in and stir, add tomatoes and pepper spices herbs.


let this simmer for short time until thick enough.


3. make the white sauce. add a small amount of oil in pan to just cover the flour. stir in some milk in small amounts until the lumps are gone.


4. add the cheese(as much as you would like) and stir until thick enough to be able to pour over the meat.





when the is done lay a layer of lasagna sheets on the bottom of a large dish. then add a layer of meat and sauce.


and so on till you finish off with white sauce layer. add some breadcrumbs on top if you want a slightly crustier texture.


let it settle for about 5 minutes then put into oven at 180 and leave for about 35 minutes. (or until just browning lightly on top,)


stick a fork through the middle to make sure it is cooked well enough.


when this is done let it cool and you can freeze it for later days, this will serve you for about 7 days, more if your portion slices are smaller. hope you like my recipe

Why not make a big batch of chili - eat some and freeze the rest? Freeze it in one-cup portions in containers or zipper-type baggies for later. You can use one cup of chili to make some nachos, or pour it over a baked potato, or Velveeta chili dip, or Frito Pie, or spread it over an omelet.





Or add some spices to ground turkey (or other ground meat) and make some meatballs. Bake them and serve over spaghetti, (which can also be frozen) or make meatball sandwiches.





You could make some enchiladas or bean burritos and freeze them too. If you're using energy to cook a meal, you might as well cook enough for later - your freezer runs more efficiently if it's full, so pack it full of food.





What you want to do is to build a little stash of frozen food that you can fall back on when you're too tired or too broke to cook.





Here are 4 recipes: meatballs, chili, sloppy joes and beef roast and instructions on how to freeze them.

hamburger helper is a man's best friend. i would recommend the cheesy hashbrowns. i substiture breakfast sausage for hamburger and add an onion if you want. you won't believe how good it is for hamburger helper. also try tomato basil penne and any of the tuna pastas. seriously, give them a try before you judge them. they are delightful.
Chili Pie





Place a layer of flavored doritos in a casserole dish.


Dump in two cans of good quality chili


Place a layer of onions in.


Place a layer of cheese


Place a layer of beans


Pour cornbread batter flavored with chili powder over top and bake until cornbread is done. Easy.
Invest in a crock pot. Also, it's not made in large quanities, but tortilla pizzas are good and somewhat healthy. Maybe try post-weight loss surgery recipes (bariatric recipes).





Good luck!
