Adding a cup or an oven tray with boiling water at the bottom and removing the bread after it's done, transferring it to a rack and putting it back covered on top with boiling water at the bottom has given me the best results so far

Can I just put the whole chop, bone and all, in there to cook for several hours and it turn out fine?
I'm kinda expecting the meat to just fall apart by the time the beans are done. Im concerned about pieces of bone getting lost in there and making sharp, hard bits in the beans. Should I debone 'em or will it be fine?

>> No.19254030

Yeah you either cook pork fast and hot or low and slow
Be sure to salt it before cooking it
It will taste much better if you sear it, first

I bought an 8,5lb ham the other day. It was almost like I got it for $3. It was $16 but with a half off manager's special coupon on it and I had a $5 off $30 purchase digital coupon. I got $31 worth of stuff, the digital coupon deducted the $5 automatically after I scanned the ham and went over the $30 threshold then I scanned the half-off coupon so rather than paying $31 for
A ham
5lbs of carrots
3lbs of onions
A gallon of milk
3lbs of bananas
and 3lbs of pasta
I wound up paying $17.50.
Good deal?
I wasn't even gonna get the ham, but figured that since it would activate the $5 off coupon automatican and I can then stack the manager's special on top of, it would be like getting a whole ham for just $3 considering I was gonna buy all the other shit already.
Did something like this last year with a leg of lamb.

Lazy chilli

500g mince beef, cooked, drained.
2 tins of kidney beans
2 tins of baked beans
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
Spices (if using a chilli spice mix you probably need to add 200ml of water)
Simmer lightly until the beans are soft and the sauce is the right thickness.

£6 for around 4 meals worth.

Sliced potatoes

This also used to be a cheap meal until Corned beef became stupidly expensive.
2KG potatoes, peeled, sliced thinly
2 large onions, cut into large slices
400g corned beef cut into thin slices
Beef stock
Sage, Salt, Pepper

Used to be £4 for 5--6 meals but Corned beef prices make it closer to £7 now.

In a tin alternate layer of potatoes with a layer of onion and corned beef until you run out.

Mix the stock and spices, pour over the potatoes (should just reach the top layer), add a small bit of gravy powder or corn flour to thicken if you don't want to wait for it all to be aobsorbed. Cook at 160c for 90-120mins or until stock is absorbed, if you want a crispy topping, raise the temp to 220c for 15 minutes.

Salt is the enemy of beans. Salt when serving, never before. Low and slow goes for animal parts that moved a lot: cheeks, heart, tail, paws. Searing is for entrecotes.
>>19254012
You can definitely put the whole chop in. You'll get a better sauce (a bit more flavour and a lot more texture), just pick your chops out before serving and remove the bones. Gently chop the meat and fold it back into the sauce.

Just don't bring your sauce to a boil. It'll dry out your meat, whether it's pig, beef or duck or pigeon doesn't matter.

Pork shoulder is often sold extremely cheap, like 99 cents on the pound.
It's the best part of the pig and perfect for slow cooking. You can use it for pulled pork, dice it up and braise it in liquid to make soft tacos, makes a somewhat decent roast if you want to go that way and also you can save the bone and use it for something like Red Beans and Rice, another super inexpensive dish that can make a lot at once.

My experience is much like the other guy's. I moved here from elsewhere and was dismayed that pork mince is so uncommon. I eventually learned that if I want it, I have to go to East/Southeast Asian supermarkets to reliably find it.

The chicken bit surprises me. Everywhere carries the Perdue stuff these days. What I can't find is higher fat chicken mince. It's always "lOw FaT cHiCkEn BrEaSt," which is disgusting. Again, the Asian supermarket is my friend here. Since they dgaf about health and safety standards, I can just grab a pack of boneless thighs from the case and they'll run it through the mincer for me. Perfect amount of fat for homemade chicken sausages. The chain supermarkets won't do that for me because they're cunts.

I wanted to contribute my poor meal. I eat this almost everyday.

Soy Sauce - $4.00 < Lasts months
Oyster Sauce - $3.00 <Lasts months
Miso Paste - $10.00 <Lasts months
Toasted Sesame Oil - $3 <Last months
Shiitake Mushrooms - $4.00 <Last months (I put fresh ones in the freezer)

Ramen - $0.33 <One pack a day
Frozen Vegetables - $0.88 <Lasts a week
Eggs - $5.00 <Last a couple weeks
Kim Chi - $4.00 <Lasts a month

Use the sauces and mushrooms to make a broth, and add whatever you want to the broth. I do ramen, 1/2 cup of veg, 1 egg and then I add whatever leftovers from last night I have. If I had pork chops and broccoli for dinner, I'll toss that in there. Almost any leftovers work, at least for me. I boil everything together until the eggs are how I want them. I put some kimchi on top.

It's hard to price the leftovers but I would guess the bowl of ramen costs under $2.00 and it often makes 2 servings.

What's the minimum kitchen utensils needed to make cheap meals? I'm thinking pot, skillet, chefs knife, cutting board, spatula. This is kinda pricey but an enameled dutch oven is pretty versatile.

If you eat pasta/noodles with just butter, you need to upgrade to aglio e olio. Olive oil is much better for you than butter, and you can make this taste amazing with a just a few simple ingredients. Anchovies are the key to the flavor IMO but not strictly necessary.

>2-3 anchovies
>3-4 cloves of garlic
>Fresh or dried chili
>Extra virgin olive oil (most expensive part of this dish but you only need a few tablespoons)
>Spaghetti
>Parsley

Just cook the spaghetti until it's almost done but not quite, saute the anchovies, garlic, and chili together (the anchovies basically dissolve), toss the Al dente pasta in the oil with a bit of pasta water, garnish with parsley and black pepper if you like.

So so good and much more interesting and nutritious compared to butter noodles.

If you can't cook, sign up for Safeway/Jewell/Osco/Acme/Albertson's/whateveritscalledwhereyouare Just4U digital coupons.
They tailor them to your purchase history.
Maybe they'll do for you what they do for me. They keep giving me free shit or for extremely cheap. I mentioned the $3 ham above, but I've gotten free Yakult, free donuts, free bread, free frozen herbs, free La Llave coffee, free own-brand cereal even free actual food like a fryer chicken, eggs, cranberries, onions and bronze-cut Barilla pasta.
Most of the coupons for free shit don't even have any purchase stipulations, like having to buy X-brand Shitcunt Sauce for a pack of free Y-brand Dickcheese or anything. When I got the donut and herbs, for example, I didn't even get anything else. Just walked in, scanned my shit and walked out.
Anyway, I checked my offers today and there's an unlimited use coupon for 1 Neuman's Own frozen pizza per day until 10th August for FORTY-NINE FUCKING CENTS EACH ($5 off coupon and the website says they cost $5.49/ea). Now, I've never had NO pizza and don't really buy frozen pizza anyway, but for that price? Yeah, since the coupon is "unlimited use" IE no limits on how many I can buy, I'm getting one each time I go from now until August. If it turns out that I don't like them, I'll just give them to my congregation or to a food pantry. Hell, I'll probably give some to the pantry even if I do like them because it's the right thing to do.

I don't even have a stove in my apartment but I get by with:

>Electric cooking pot
>Hot plate and nonstick skillet
>Cutting board
>Knife
>Spatula
>Tongs (for grabbing pasta from the pot)
>Big wooden mixing bowl (for salads)

I want a toaster oven but desu I'm doing fine with just these. I can easily make a wide range of classic pasta dishes and salads, if you have those you're pretty much good. I eat mostly vegetarian except for sardines and other canned fish, most of my protein comes from yogurt and fish. Mediterranean pilled.

Ever have Italian macaroni and cheese? You make a mantecatura (knead butter together with grated cheese) and stir it into hot, freshly cooked pasta (plus a little, like a spoon or two, of its hot cooking water to make it sauce-y).
Most commonly, grated parmigiano and a bit of bel paese cream cheese are used but I've done it using the little Laughing Cow ones and cheddar now that I live in the US where bel paese is thin on the ground. It's a beloved quick meal for most Italians.
When I make it for my family (me, my son, his mother), I use 3tbsp of butter, 4oz cheddar and a little over a half pound of frozen petit sweetpeas or chopped blanched spinach or other greenery to add a little veg to our diets.
I know it sounds like it could get expensive, but we shop sales and stock up on things when we can, like when half pound cheddar cheese blocks go on sale for $2 or less each. When it goes that low, feeding the three of us winds up costing about $2.15 total.

It has been a stable meal for most of my week and its very easy and cheap. Also a great usage for Leftovers

Just Slice a small Union, 1 Paprika and Whatever Veggies you like (Chickpeas are nice)

Add Spices (Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Whatever you like

Add a small can of chopped or peeled tomatoe

Make small holes into the tomato sauce

Meatballs are good and all, but you can get by with less meat if you just brown ground meat in a pan and add sauce. I feel like it's not "meaty" enough unless I do this.

>half a cup of milk heated up
>1 of pic related (technically it's 2 since there are 2 in a pouch)
>big spoonful of peanut butter

Break up the granola bars in the pouch and pour them in the warm milk, let it sit for a minute then break it up with a spoon once it's soft for quick hot cereal. Mix in a spoon of peanut butter and blamo, quick breakfast sludge. Tastes pretty decent, assuming you like the individual components, filling and it's cheap.

Granola bars: $18.99 for a 49 pack from costco, $3.38 for a 6 pack from walmart
Milk: $2.50ish per gallon
Peanut butter: $4.00 for a jar

Even if you're not buying the bars in bulk, you're still looking at less than $1 for a meal. I suppose if you want to go super poverty mode, you could use 1 granola bar instead of the 2 that come in a pouch.
