What do you feed your family when time, or money, or time and money... are scarce?
Much to the disgust of some, I have used Bisquick to make cake and to make pizza dough.
Bisquick coffee cake has it's own thread.
So I'm looking for people to share their go-to, end of the month or limited budget recipes.
My eternal go to is beans and Indian fry bread. I can, and do, make bread. But I was raised on fry bread, and my kids and their friends love it too.
Beans are pretty basic...I do add chili powder, and garlic, and some (not a lot) onion, in addition to salt and pepper. If I have pork I will put in whatever I've got..bacon, sausage, pork roast..I've even put chops in there. But if I don't, it's just the seasonings.
Frybread is just a yeast batter (or sometimes a batter made with baking powder...and sometimes a little of both) that is fried. I poke a hole in the middle to keep them from puffing up and cooking unevenly.
Frybread is served with butter, beans, jam, sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, honey...anything, really. Also really good used as a taco base but honestly, if I'm in a hurry or tired, I seldom make tacos.

Money for food has never been an issue for me since leaving grad school. To answer the other part of your question, I throw whatever in a pan or a pot together and call it soup or stew or casserole. It is how I clean out some of the odd impulse buy crap from the cupboards that seem to never get eaten otherwise. Personally if I don't have time or energy, I just won't eat. Sometimes what I throw together I won't eat either because I know all the weird things that went in it, but the others seem nonethewiser.

I have kids. The just not eating is fine for me, but it doesn't work when you have a family of say, 7, in the household...which includes teens, toddlers, and working adults.
That was my household last year.
This year it's just me and one teen..so it's nowhere near as complicated but I'm a good cook and like thinking about these things.

I don't live alone with 1,000 cats LOL. That is your girl chromosome. In Man Land, it is, "There's some bread and potato chips in there. Make yourself a Sour Cream and Onions Pringles sandwich if you get that hungry. I'm going to bed."

1,000 cats! LOL is right! I don't think KG has 1,000 cats. I live in Man Land, but don't live on bread and potato chips. You can make some healthy, simple meals, or get as complex as you want. Hey it's Man Land. You can do anything! If you want to hang a dead animal on your wall, you can do it!
I made Chicken Curry last night. Very easy!
Curried Chicken Recipe
I like ramen. I don't like the styrofoam cup ones as much as the regular square ones.For convenience and quick meals when running out of ideas and stock of food, I experimented recently with those Raman noodles in the styro cups that can be stored in the cabinet for such emergencies.
in the Chicken broth one, They now have tiny bits of chicken bits, but adding broccoli bits or even more chicken makes a quick easy meal to finish off leftover veggies and meats.
My experiments came out better then expected:
one I added broccoli bits and dab of honey mustard (spicey kind not the mayo kind) and dab of barbeque sauce (Baby Rays). I usually dump the chicken broth when done, but this seasoned it so good that I drank it all.
The other idea was instead of boiling water, I used soy milk which thickens when boiling, added 2 cap fulls of cooking Sherry into the Raman and using a dollar imitation crab leg snack pack I cut up a half a strip or a whole strip in 1/4 cuts and season to taste, also thickened the Newburg like sauce with soup flour powder.
It's just something to have around for those quick 5 minute bare cupboard meals.
Of course the flat chow mein noodle ones in the tray with liquid sauces and dry veggie & seasonning work well too with left over cuts of steak or chicken.
And you can season your chicken strips with some of the seasoning pack.
Now that is interesting. I was going to contribute an old time tested recipe, but it's way too pedestrian after a recipe like yours.For convenience and quick meals when running out of ideas and stock of food, I experimented recently with those Raman noodles in the styro cups that can be stored in the cabinet for such emergencies.

Shit on a shingle is always a good one as well as being a staple food among old school honkys. Mine works like this,
A piece of toast.
Bacon. I will cut some up and toss a hand full in the white gravy, as well as three whole slices on the toast.
Scramble eggs on top of the bacon, then the white gravy over the top of it all.
It will need salt and pepper for sure. This is the instant gravy I use,

The frozen creamed beef in boil bags kind is way to salty, and the dried beef in a jar I think by Hormel is to thin and not the right texture.
Anyone have a recipe or the type of beef and preperation let me know. I'm guessing it's a dried corned beef hash. Never was able to replicate it, nor find it anywhere again.
Yeah that is a good gravy mix, thanks.I used to live off of creamed chipped beef during my late night diner runs, but nobody makes good dried beef and even those are hard to find.What do you feed your family when time, or money, or time and money... are scarce?

If you can find a good deli you will have what you want. My ma always went to this polish deli in spring branch to get that type of meat. Shaved beef or something. But bacon makes a good sub if you can eat it. But the pioneer white gravy serves as a good base.
My father calls that SOS, shit on a shingle. It is sooo good.Make a white sauce (Bechamel), nothing more than a roux with milk,
cook a pound of hamburger with onions,
add cooked hamburger onion to white sauce,
serve over toast or biscuits,
SOS is typically made with chipped beef, quite salty (I don't like it), what I make is officially known as Creamed Beef.My father calls that SOS, shit on a shingle. It is sooo good.Make a white sauce (Bechamel), nothing more than a roux with milk,
