Meals that can be made for 33 cents or less!

Rules: 0. 33 cents was picked to aim towards that mythical $1 a day target!

  1. Posts should be about a dish/meal you personally made that cost less than 33 cents USD, OR a video of someone making it/reviewing it. Just want to avoid recipes being posted that no one has actually ever tasted.
  2. A meal should have at least 400 calories
  3. Meals should be replicable and not rely on crazy discounted items
  4. Feel free to post failures!
  5. No over reliance on bulk purchases. Requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 18 is fine, requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 64 bought from costco, less so.
  6. This is mostly a challenge on creativity and thinking outside normal cooking rules. Sometimes the result will be learning why a rule exists.
  7. Feel free to ignore calculating costs of oil to grease a pan, dash of salt, teaspoon of sugar, etc.

Make black beans (Canned will be more expensive, but easier of course)

Smash the black beans up, and slowly add instant potato's while mixing until they are a meat ball texture, add salt to taste. Roll into ball then smash semi thin so they cook through.

Add to medium heat greased pan, cook until colored and sticking together.

For the biscuit I just did water + flour + salt + baking powder, so like 5 cents.

Add whatever you have handy to make taste good! I just do a little bit of margarine and it tasted really good.

Loved the texture, and I have a bunch of extra patties since I did a decently large batch.
