I made a budget meal even more budget friendly this week when I had a zero dollar grocery budget. Home made baked beans with home made bread. I was lucky enough to have the staples needed

    2 cups dried beans soaked overnight(whatever you’ve got but I used cannellini)
    3 cups water
    2 tsp Worcestershire
    6 tbsp tomato sauce (ketchup)
    2 tbsp tomato paste
    2 chicken/veggie stock cubes
    1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp salt

    8 tsp cornstarch (corn flour) mixed into 1/4 cup water

    Soak beans overnight then simmer in fresh water for 1 – 1.5 hours or until softened

    Throw everything EXCEPT the beans and cornstarch mixture into a pot and stir.

    Add beans and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes

    Mix in cornstarch mixture and cook for a couple more minutes.

    Bread recipe is just whatever’s on the back of the bread flour bag

    If you want to go even cheaper in your yard grab a few sq feet of land if you have it and plant and dry out your own beans. A little work but it actually puts you in the money saved not just null priced. Congrats and it looks fantastic.

    If you really wanna spoil yourself, fry up some onion and thinly sliced sausage/hot dog and add to the beans.
