Chicken Livers and Green Beans in Onion/Mushroom Sauce over Brown Rice
Obviously not a perfect solution (canned soup, salt content of onion soup mix) and one should not make a steady diet of organ meat, but this just makes the point that nutrition need not be disregarded for reasons of supposed "economy". I have to say, not a fan of liver, of any sort......but the rest of it looks good....and kid friendly. Maybe sustitute some beef tongue or chicken gizzards.

I read a book by Barry Sadler in the Casca series and he ended up on an island with cannibals that would, after killing their enemies, roast their enemies penis and eat it.

As the maidens would wash and clean us,
They showed freely the charms of Venus.
"Harder is better," they said,
Before we kill you, dead.
"Tis simpler to harvest your penis!"
(You can all blame LR. She got me started on these!)

yuck!!
JediKnight, another good, easy, cheaper dish that comes to mind is pot roast. Chuck roast is usually pretty cheap and you can buy several roasts when it is on sale and freeze them. [check Wal-mart first] Buy some brown in bags, powdered onion soup mix[I used Lipton but you can get the store brand cheaper]
Brown the roast in a couple of tablespoons of oil on both sides. While it is browning, mix up a package of onion soup mix with 2 cups water. My sister throws in 2 tablespoons of flour for a thicker gravy. Pour the soup mixture into the BIB and then add the roast AND the drippings and grease. Add some fresh veggies. I add fresh mushrooms and green beans. My sister adds potatoes and carrots. Tie the top of the bag - make 3-4 tiny cuts in the top. Put in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 3 hours on 350. You will have a great dinner.

Those Bags are cool. I remember that recipe Mel from way back in the 70s=80s, and it was just like the one you gave here, with onion soup mix--There are tons of ways to do it, but that was one of the best

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” ...Sounds about right to me.

Last night I had hot dogs...wrapped in cheese slices. Standard mustard and ketchup.
My dinners are so boring compared to the rest of yours.

I will not spend my life this way.
