Please help! Need super cheap meal ideas!

Pasta bakes
Fried rice
Rissotto
Sausage casserole
Spag Bol
Baked potatoes

Above are all things you can bulk out with vegies and use only minimal meat.

Fried rice
Potato bakes/pasta bakes
Casseroles
Pasta dishes
Chicken drumsticks/wings are VERY cheap and satisfying

Many of those recipe bases are cheap and easy not involving alot of ingredients.

Soaking dry lentils and beans (not canned) is a great, cheap way to make any meal go a lot further.

I agree with the beans and Lentils. You can make curries, soups, burgers, nachos with these and add to meals.

Eggs are a great option

You could make soups and stocks from left over chicken bones, old veggies.

Homemade pizza on pitta bread
Meatballs and pasta/vegies
Tuna and rice/pasta
Corn on the cob
roast jacket potatoes with ham, cheese and sour cream

Thank you ladies, that's a great start for me!

I've just borrowed the 4Ingredients cookbooks from the library, where everything is made with *obviously* 4 or less ingredients. They also have a great Facebook page with heaps of ideas. I've got my bake on after reading it lol. Tomorrow night I am making a fettucini pasta using fettucini, some chicken, and a can of cream of condensed chicken soup. I'll also add some avocado and maybe some bacon. Cheap and quick!
