Guest Post: 3 New Cheap Recipes from Jan Leasure, Supermarket Cyclone

March 25, 2010 by Jan Leasure

Tough economic times call for tough measures, and that means really sticking to your budget.  Some people find this difficult when it comes to cooking, but I have some terrific, low-budget (cheap!) recipes that you’re sure to love…and so will your wallet!

#1: Better Than the Box! — Last week it was snowing here so I got sort of desperately decadent with my Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese recipe and added thinly sliced turkey hot dog rings! After all was said and done, I was indeed comforted!

#2: Bean Dip/Side Dish:  High Protein, Low Cost â€” This inflation-proof recipe for is not only fantastic but definitely not a  recipe I thought I would get excited about, since I am not a number one fan of beans.  However, I got this recipe from a neighbor during a holiday “progressive dinner” type affair.  I was drawn to the bowl because it was so colorful.  The hostess served it with corn chips that are shaped like little bowls. I have since made it twice, once as a dip and once as a full on side dish. It’s perfect for either one.

Besides being high in protein and delicious, this Carnivale Bean Dip recipe is C-H-E-A-P!  Several ways to save on this one. Either use manufacturer’s cents-off coupons for the name brand ingredients (I got mine buy-one-get-one-free and had a coupon for each of the items that wasn’t free).  Or, buy the store brands and save that way.  I ALWAYS double this recipe and bring half to a party or dinner and keep the other half at home to eat.

#3: My Fast and Fabulous Sauce and Tortellini recipe is always a hit.  It’s nice because you can opt to vary the ingredients, using beef, chicken, or even shrimp.  Chef’s choice!
