Eating Cheaply (Beef Version)
Dec. 31st, 2008 02:20 pmI ate a lot of turkey over the holidays. So I'm craving beef. Despite my complaining about how long I ate leftovers last time, I decided to do another pot roast.
1 onion (approx $0.50)
1 tbsp canned garlic (approx $0.10)
Cut up onion, fry onion and garlic for about a minute in leftover sesame oil.
3 carrots (approx $0.30)
3 potatoes (approx $0.25, had bought a five pound bag for a buck)
1 can mushrooms (approx $0.50)
2 vegetable bullion cubes (approx $0.50)
1 bay leaf (who knows, cheap)
Peel potatoes (were cheap and green) and cut into quarters. Cut up carrots. Put with onion into crock. Add water to cover.
2 lb chuck roast (approx $4)
Fry in pan for a minute each side, add to pot. Cook for hours, until meat falls apart. Admit you'll be eating this for the next week. But at least it comes in under six bucks. And makes the house smell good (if you're not a vegetarian).
