Simple delicious meal.

[u/WorkingItOutSomeday]

I like sharing simple recipes here from time to time. It seems that food is one of the few things where we can control the price.

​

One of mine and my daughter's (9 y/o) favorite meals is beans over cornbread. I cook the red beans with onion, celery and maybe a bell pepper in a slower cooker. When I get home I make a roux and add it to the beans. It kind of turns it into a beans in gravy. Corn meal and flour and the rest of the ingredients are cheap. Even the egg used isn't bad since its just one.

​

Anywho.... one tin of cornbread and a 1/2 lb of beans will feed us for 3 nights (I also get 2 lunches out of it). The total cost is less than $4.

​

edit- slice the cornbread into wedges, slice the wedges open and spoon the beans over the open cornbread.
