My all time favorite meal, and you can pay as much or as little for it as you like is:
Fresh fruit, good cheeses, baguette and a bottle of wine
Next would be pasta almost any way
I've been away a long time,
Also, I see that my webpage address automatically came up. I haven't worked on my site for over 2 years. Don't bother to go there. I'm hoping to start redoing it soon.
Thanks

potted beef and gravy
Spryte, are you talking about chipped beef?
My family loves what we call SOS...Chipped beef in white sauce, with mushrooms and peas, over toast or bisquits. Sure would be fine over mashed potatoes too!
Ground beef is great fixed that way too...brown the beef, pour off most of the fat, stir in a little flour, S&P, then add milk. Cook and stir until thickened, add mushrooms and peas, or whatever (a can of drained peas and carrots, or baby peas with pearl onions) and cook till warmed through. Add a little cheese if you wish, and stir until melted.
Serve on toast, bisquits, or mashed potatoes.
There was a time in my life that I lived off bacon grease gravy and white bread for several weeks. Didn't hurt me one bit, and it sure made me appreciate what I have now.
My family teases me about hoarding food, but once you have been hungry, you never forget it. Depending how much I scrimped, I could feed all of us for 6 months to a year out of my freezer and pantry.

Glop
Mine would be Glop. I grew up with it.
Cooked rice and add a can of Cream of whatever soup + 1 can of water or broth.
Add any leftover veggies and meat.
Nuke or bake until hot.
It's Glop because that is the sound it makes when you plop it on the plate.

We eat lots of the noodle variations. We can buy Indonesian and Thai versions here as well. We always add either corn or peas and an egg. If there is meat leftover that is added as well.
I am almost embarrased to mention tuna noodle casserole, but I do love it. I add chunks of cheese which melts in the oven.

Don't be embarassed Pam...I love it too! In fact, I've been known to sneak bites out of the fridge when it's cold.
I make mine with a couple cans of tuna, wide egg noodles, peas, mushroom soup and Velveeta Cheese Lite.
Glad you mentioned it...think I'll make some tonight.

i forgot tuna and elbow macaroni salad. i could eat pounds of it.
and stir fries too. the stir fry i made last night was enough to feed 4 people well, and only cost about $9. it had string beans ($1), onions ($.50), carrots ($.50), celery ($.50), bell pepper($1), garlic ($.25), boneless chicken thighs ($3.50), and leftover chinese brown sauce, soy sauce, and hot pepper flakes from take out ($.75). Served with white rice ($1), it was a good and healthy meal.
hah! i made you add...

Cottage Pie is of course the English answer to good, cheep and quick: your leftover chopped up meat and vegetables, gravy and a mashed potato crust. Put in the oven until the potatoes begin to brown a bit. Yum.
Cottage Pie if made with beef or pork, Shepherds Pie if made with lamb or mutton.
