One year when my son was small was really broke on his b day. I made tuna salad and egg salad, put in containers. Baked some chocolate chip cookies. Made koolaid. Packed it all up in our picnic basket along with some apples, Took him to a beautiful national park went on a hike and enjoyed our picnic. Years later if i ask him what he wants me to make for a b day meal he asks for that same picnic now as an adult
Poor man meals doesnt mean dreary. You showcase how good cheer and your love transforms your families daily bread. God is good!
Aww hun that’s a sweet story gave me chills. One year when my daughter was little I had to have a hysterectomy and we were broke ex hardly ever worked I always worked and the time off from work was rough. Anyway I had put some things in lay away for Christmas and I had planned on getting her more but bc of being off work that wasn’t possible so with my last paycheck I was able to get her toys out lay away and to this day she said that was the best Christmas!!! She remembers everything she got that year!!!❤

I feel you! I was single mom with my son and STILL his favorite Thanksgiving meal and memory is Mom's chicken wings and red kool-aid 40 years later... We made it work out! Blessings sent to you!
So sweet 🎂❣️Thanks for sharing what a lovely gift.
You and Dusty raised your kids right, they are so sweet, kind and respectful. I love how the whole family does your taste tests.
Found your channel and fell in love with your personality and how you put the meals together with no fuss and. Love the family too ❤
My "poor man" favorite meal is a pot of pinto beans and homemade cornbread, with a fresh slice of Vidalia onion. I grew up eating this "a lot" and at 86 still LOVE EATING it often !
Girl let me tell you 😂 the rice poor Man's meal you made I've been making that for 30 years thinking I was eating very well 🤣 only to find out it's a poor man meal LOL 🤣🤣🤣
That's good eats 😋
Lol.
When I was first married, one of my go to meals was browned hamburger meat, mixed with rice, canned tomatoes, and a *lot* of garlic powder. Top with cheese, of course. Delicious! Mmmm, I should make that again :)
Just this one video was enough for me to jump on as a subscriber. I can just feel it in my heart that you're a keeper! ♥️
Brooke,
That potato casserole looks so good! I watched the whole video twice. I have a few potatoes, a pound of mild sausage meat, an onion, a red pepper, peeled garlic, cheese, and two cans of different kind of beans. Guess what I'm making tomorrow? Thanks.
A this that and the other casserole 😂😂😂😂🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
People go out to sit down restaurants and fast food places and spend a fortune because they don't want too, they don't like too or don't know how to cook. These recipes feeds a family of 5 for a few dollars and are so easy & quick to make.
Thank you for sharing these recipes.
The light green will NOT hurt you. It's from the light. You need to keep them in a COOL DARK place. If it's really dark green like not ripe green do not eat that. Being from Idaho "the tater state" and working in the potatoes from the field on the combine-which digs them, to the pit-the spud cellar, to the potato processing plant-which is where they bag or box them up and ship them out to the stores. Just a bit of info for those that don't know. Not being a know it all. Looks yummy Brooke!! Sometimes the stuff you throw together is the best!!
Thank you for information ❤. I usually cut the green off if not dark. We are all still alive😂.
I came to the comments to learn about the green ha! Thank you!!
Thank you...great information about the potatoes....I'd say you really are a potatoe knowledged person. 👍👍👍
True. Every once in a while you can even see some of the light green in potatoe chips you buy.
Thank you for sharing this I was always scared of any color green I sure appreciate your comment.
I just put 6 pounds of meat in the freezer. Was trying to find a way to use up a ton of cheese and beans. Perfect!
“That kidney bean looks questionable.” 😂
Most of the vitamins and nutrients are right under the skin so I like to get Yukon gold and leave the skin on, I just scrub them and trim
When I’m having a bad day, I look for one of your videos, cuz you make me smile. You remind me of a friend I had years ago. I like your sense of humor, and your sweet kids. 🙂
Wow, thank you 🤍🩵🤍🩵🤍
I like to add frozen corn to hamburger casseroles. Or canned whole kernel, well drained.
When Ky almost fell down, I giggled a little when I saw your super-mom reflexes. 😁 My daughter is 24 and when we're in the car together and someone pulls out in front of us I still fling my arm over in front of her by reflex. 😂
It’s natural instinct! Lol
😅😅😊
I do the same thing with my 24 year old. And my mom would do the same thing to me even when I was in my 50s 😊
@@joyt7754 🤣🤣🤣
Mine 28, same. It’s instinct
I put garlic powder on almost everything.
And you can add diced green chilies
That potato/ hamburger/ bean casserole looks so good and yummy idea for baked potatoes. Plop some sour cream and cheese on top. Yum!
The first recipe is something similar to what I grew up on. My mom would layer it, sliced potatoes on bottom then sprinkle the browned hamburger on potatoes. Then she would cover the top with pork and beans and smear ketchup on top like meatloaf. Its done once the taters can be stabbed with fork lol. I grew up calling it cowboy dinner.
that sounds delicious!!
That actually sounds really good
We have done that potato casserole with cut up hot dogs instead of ground beef. The kids liked that as well.
The best meals come from broke people's innovation. Lol! Both look yummy!
Yep for sure
Find you a broke stoner friend and enjoy the creations 😂
@@Bamapride1985 I agree. Lol. The things these folks come up with. I had a friend make popcorn salad one time. I was not a fan of it but everyone else was. I can't smoke it because it makes me cough my lungs up, so I abstain. But I don't care if anyone else does. Toke away!!
Thank you for recipes like this. I have a friend who is very low income but also needs very simple recipes because of a nervous condition that makes cooking difficult. I share a lot of your ideas with her. It’s so helpful because I want to help her but I’m not imaginative enough to come up with ideas like this.❤
Brooke those look good but you should try Ms Clara’s poor man’s meal our family loves it
I bet that rice casserole would work just fine with regular rice since it bakes for 45 minutes. These both look so good!!!!
Brooke, these look very good! The potato poor man could be easily be turned into a Mexican type flavor as well. Here is something my best friend and I used to eat back in the 60’s. We boiled some macaroni, drained it when done, then pour a can of cream of chicken soup over the noodles and mix. Of course we used salted and peppered as needed but I think the soup might have enough salt. We never did this but you could put some extra chicken in it or a small can of children. My siblings found they loved this as well. Take care, my dear.
A small can of children.!!!!!!! That would give it some flavour😂😂😂😂😂
lol my weenie dog stepped on my iPad and you were a chipmunk for a minute before I figured it out
😂😂
I would love to see a series on homemade meals based on restaurant dishes.
I get a kick out of these being poorman meals. Seems fit for a king. And cooking like this allows us to put a little money by at a time and that adds up. You are teaching life skills to your kids and to all your of us. Grateful for you and your inspiration
Part 2 of my comment, lol, I wanted to tell you how pretty your hair looks today ❤
Oh thank you!
i make the potato casserole with either smoked sausage or ground turkey. i always have green pepper and onions in the freezer so i also add those. its a great meal with cornbread. :)
The potato casserole looks scrumptious!!!
Thank You for taking back to a time before time to similar meals. Hubby is getting a few new meals for lunch. 😀
Hello. I'm from wyo. I as a child growing up I remember a lot of dishes you have made from your childhood, I had as well. But being Hispanic my mom or myself would add green chilli or red chilli just to give it a little kick. I love watching your utube show because it brings me back to my childhood sometimes. Just love watching it all. Enjoy your day and be kind. U already are
I make spaghetti sauce with a sprinkle of hot pepper in the meat sauce. I had that 2 days ago, it is delicious.
A Mexican version of this would be a medium onion finely diced, garlic powder, salt, pepper, potatoes and ground meat. Fry the onions and add the meat and cook till done. Add diced up potatoes and cook until potatoes are done season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
This is used to make tacos.
It's called Picadeguyo.
Excuse me but, first of it’s Pico de’ gio and, no, that’s not what Pico de’ gio is! Pico de’ gio is a fresh chunky salsa with fresh cut Tomatoes diced, chopped diced onion, seedless jalapeños chopped and, cilantro! Because, Americans can buy it in the produce section freshly made, in small and large plastic tubs and, you can order it in Mexican Restaurants and, some dishes it comes with it on it depending on what you order! Basically the Salsa has no tomato Sauce!
@@sonyafox3271 well that's what it was called when I lived it Texas.
Picadillo is the best
I have a quick and easy pantry version
Brown the ground beef with onion
Add a packet of taco seasoning
Add 2 cans of diced potatoes that have been drained if you don't have fresh potatoes
If you have fresh potatoes then dice about 2 lbs
Add a can of mild Rotel
Add a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste
Bring to a boil in summer to the potatoes are done if you're using fresh potatoes
So that's the quick and easy pantry version
My family loves it
Serve with Spanish rice and flour tortillas
The correct spelling is Pico de Gallo. It is a fresh salsa .. originating in Mexico
@@florencerobinson7714 it's picadillo. It's not the salsa. That's what we called it in the Mexican restaurants when I lived in Texas.
I just mixed this up using two cups instant brown rice, two cups of water, one pound cooked ground turkey, two cans cream of mushroom soup, chopped up two fresh carrots, drained a jar of mushrooms, drained a can of corn, and drained a can of diced tomatoes. Topped with Mexican style cheese. In the oven now! Can't wait ❤❤❤
Had a 10 for $10 deal on cream of mushroom after Christmas, yes, its a staple here and great with ALL casseroles.
I love how you guys are so natural! I see the family love, makes me happy watching this! And the food looks great. Need more of those poor man recipes, going to need it here in Canada, because of the greedy prime Minister here! Thank you
That rice casserole looked awesome, I might have to add an onion soup packet 😊😊
Love you 💖 Brook !! Thanks for all you do for us budget freaks 😂
My favorite budget meal is smoked sausage and potatoes. When I make that my husband goes feral and will eat two huge bowls. The rice version would just be ground meat and diced tomatoes mixed with the rice. And usually the only seasoning I use is Tony Chachere's and Worcestershire sauce. Maybe some garlic and onions if I feel like chopping it😂
❤Just made it with 2 cooked chicken thighs. Totally delicious. I'll be making it again. Thank you! Blessings to you and yours always.
There needs to be commuinty awards for Angels like you brooke! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 🏆
Brooke, you took me back today. Growing up my mom made “slumgullion” (have no idea where the name came from. Ground beef, onions, garlic salt and red kidney beans. When I grew up I added chili style beans. Mom said I made it fancy. With roommates we made rice casserole- tuna rice casserole with canned peas and cream of mushroom soup and topped with crushed potato chips, once with a few days before grocery shopping we made - not tuna casserole- canned chicken, canned corn, cream of chicken soup and topped with crushed Fritos. It was alway not tuna casserole. Thank you for bringing some of out childhood to us. Hugs
My mama made slumgullion too, but she added a can of tomato soup. She was raised in Tennessee during the Depression, in the general vicinity of Knoxville.
My mom was raised in southern Illinois.
lol I’ve never heard anyone else say that but my mama she said that’s her mom called it!!!
I’m in Indiana!!
My Gram made us the tuna and rice casserole over 60 years ago as kids. She wouldn't have used potato chips to make the crunch on top. I think it was something like rice crispy cereal. I know a lot of people who made the casserole with those canned dried onions for the crispiness.
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup you could make a simple white sauce!
Do you have a video on how you can your ground beef? I would like to see your method and if you season it when you can it! TIA
You and yours are such a blessing to us all. Thanks for a great video!
I love your channel. I have been binge-watching your videos and it's amazing how creative you are. Also, your heart for people to be able to find inexpensive ways to feed their families is such a blessing. May GOD bless you and yours.
Yummy! Putting both into rotation.
Oh man!!!!
You got some good ideas🎉❤.. your guys are so cute& funny…
Yummy meals.hello from Australia.
Thank you for sharing your nostalgia and creativity. The potato casserole had all the makings of a “fancy” chili topped baked potato. I would have never thought of making this a casserole but I love it. I had no ideas the chili beans had so much nice sauce. Does it taste the same as “canned chili”? Rice casserole is a winner too. I once ran out of cream of whatever soup and also milk and butter so could not make own but subbed in some jarred alfredo. My veggies on hand were onions green pepper and tomato diced. The meat that time was chicken. Everyone loved it.
Braden is growing like a weed. Tall, Sweet and Handsome
And he makes the funniest faces!
Im 63 and have been poor cooking for a long time. But you have inspired me to budget. And try some of your recipes. Your pork necks you make a stew out of. I put pork necks in my homemade spaghetti sauce. Really makes it good. Thank you ❤
Way back in the day when I was in college in San Francisco, the "dining hall" used to serve "California Surprise" on Fridays to use up the week's leftovers and it was just like this only with leftover scrambled eggs :). Thanks for bringing back a good memory LOL.
that 1st one, my family (northern midwest) calls that "hamburger mush". the basic ing. was meat, beans, and potatoes; then add to or rearrange as budget or pantry allows. i used pork and beans when kids were little as they hated kidney beans for a while. i'm def. gonna try this casserole variation with cheese - looks yummy!
I'll do white rice, leftover mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, chopped ham leftover from Christmas from the freezer and peas. Topped with cheddar cheese. Ty ❤
Brooke!! These are both great tasting and easy peasy!!! I love you can use whatever you have!!!! I enjoy your videos so very much!! Thank you for keeping me company as well!!! Love n hugs from NY ☀️🌸💗🙏🏻
Those recipes were awesome. You come up with the best. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Love, love, love casseroles, one pan meals, sheet pan meals! The less dishes the better 👍💯 Only thing id change up with these is I'd use ground turkey and add way more veggies 😋 Thanks Brooke you're an absolute doll 💓
I have a spaghetti a jar of spaghetti sauce and a package of hot dogs. Flavorings that you like or have on hand. I save all my left over pasta in a plastic bag. This means that it is easy to make the casserole. Good old meal from days gone by. Enjoyed
Your old time meals.
Brook, YOU'RE busting! I'm just loving all of this content. Even my 7year old daughter is enjoying watching with me. She loves your voice. Keep em coming!
Both of these look great, but that Poor Mans Potato Casserole looks amazing!
I can't wait to try both of these!
Wow... both those casseroles I grew up with and still make. Thank you so much Brooke.
That potato casserole looks really good!😊 I’d probably leave the skin on the potatoes cause I’m lazy 😂
That rice casserole would be great with tuna!!! That looks good!
Thanks for sharing this Brooke . For a low carb version you can used riced cauliflower instead of rice or half and half of each. 😊
Yummy 😋 I’d eat that … heck … I think I will have to make that !!!
Love your videos !!!
Thanks for the quick dinner ideas. Love the quick , use what you have in the pantry ideas.
I loved it when you referred to plastic cheese! When I was a little kid (decades ago), my grandmother kept powdered milk in the house and made it whenever she didn’t have bottled milk. My grandfather referred to the powdered milk product as “plastic milk” when he had it with cold cereal.
Thank you for sharing these meals. So simple and economical, which is what we need in these trying times.
Thank you for all your videos they really make my day when I whatch them bc you remind me a lot of my sweet mom . I can't believe how much you look like jer and you where your hair the same way and, you even act like my mom so when I'm having a hard day or i just miss my mom Iyou are my go to i love your recipes I love your sweet family 😊 thank you for all the work you do you are very appreciated
Had some left over rice and some left over chili. Homemade chili with gr beef. The whole shot... layered a sm amt of chili to thr pan or in my case bowl. . Then i layered rice on top. I had some left over butter. Lol this is all left overs. I put pats of butter in different places into the rice so l'd have buttered rice... then i put the rest of the chili on top. Scraped the container so i got every last little bit of sauce . Had a small kinda drying chunk of swiss cheese. I cut it up very small. Placed pieces so every bit had covered the top of chile. You can bake or microwave. Looked very apitizing when done. I ate this by dunked in spoon so i could have my rice being buttered and have some cheesy chili all at the same time. It was memorable and will make it again
Great meal ideas. I love Ryder's wild hair!
my favorite broke meal is breakfast fried rice, we use hot dogs, smoked sausage or spam. maybe baked cabbage on the side
Those look great, wouldn’t even know they poor man’s! Btw you look so beautiful in the video!❤ love your personality and your video was awesome! 🎉❤
May I say sincerely that you have beautiful hair! Color is so nice and your styles are cute and fun! In other words you are a real doll!! Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog.💕👍🙏🧑🦽🐾🐶🐕🙋🤓🌵✝️🏠🐰💌🥰⛵🐤
We used to fry potatoes and Fry the hamburger in a separate pan then add pork and beans to the hamburger then add it all together and if we had cheese we put that on top great feeling food
They look good im looking forward to trying them .
I don’t know why you were in my recommended videos to watch, but I’m sure glad I clicked on it. You and your family are awesome. And both recipes look delicious. I’m a true Irish woman and I’ll eat potatoes every which way you can imagine to make them. 😊 Thanks for some great supper ideas 👍
I have been binge watching your older videos - then this one came up… what in the heck have you been feeding Brayden… looks like magic beans - dang he got tall lol. 😊.
I watched your channel because of how you and your family treat each other . Love and kindness
Looks good. Love cleaning my fridge out into a casserole dish. Top with cheese and it’s always “bustin” 🤣😂🤣 Great ideas.
When I was a kid, we made a similar hamburger and potatoes casserole. But instead of kidney beans, we used a can of pork and beans. The maple flavor beans from Aldi are great.
It's cute to see your boys trying the food. They are so sweet to you!
Love your videos!!!!
Those look absolutely delicious! We grew up eating cream of mushroom soup and minute rice. We never added protein or veg- just the soup, water and rice. Thanks for two new recipes to try! I love your videos - all of them! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Please take care and have a Blessed day ❤
First off, how can you go wrong with potatoes and cheese anything? Second, I love seeing recipes that use uncooked rice where you don't have to cook it first. Love ya ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The chilli cheese tators are similar to something I used to make but you top with sour cream and salsa or just a little ketchup. Delicious if I do say so myself. We don't eat a lot of rice and I admit it intimidates me a little so I wonder could you substitute orzo pasta instead? I might have to try it . Anyway love you guys and can't wait to see the next one. Take care and God bless.
I've been watching a lot of your older videos just bcz I love watching you so much.
I love watching your boys grow up, just from last year to this year! So tall, handsome & sweet! ❤️
Love it! Thanks!
I like those two dinners because you can make them according to the size of your family. That's great for me because I live alone. Thank you so much!
My mother always made the rice casserole! back in the 70's. literally with rice, cream of whatever, whatever meat, whatever veg or none. BUT nvr had cheese. I liked it. Actually made it when my kids were growing up. They however did not like it. They were spoiled lol.
Do you have a video explaining how you use your sour dough starter. I am very interested to learn about it. Thanks
Oh boy my granny would always make casserole with garden stuff
That potato casserole looks fantastic! Thank you for teaching us some recipes to save money and eat healthily and heartedly!
This feels like a jacket potato, just kind of splayed out. I love it!
I think you are wonderful, there are a lot of people who are newly struggling and you are showing them it’s nothing to be ashamed of and teaching them how to cook on a strict budget. That a lot of it is creativity. Also picking up older bread and making croutons to pop in soups. A bit of garlic powder, oil and salt and you’ve got a great addition to soups. Love your videos!!
Thank you, I found your channel by coincidence and you earned a new subscriber here.
It's not " poor man dinner " anymore because this is also for retired people like me. I'm on a fixed income ( social security) and I thought I would starve to death because my rent, utility and medicine don't leave much for food, but thanks to you I now know I can make it. Who would have thought with little ingredients you could have a meal. God bless you all ! 👋😎👍
The potato casserole looks good. I put chili, cheese and sour cream on my baked potato and it reminds me of that. Now I want some😀. I think you just taught me how to make the broccoli cheese chicken casserole…yummy.
I would probably add a side salad and that is a complete meal! ❤ (potato casserole) edit: laughed so hard when you said “hit me like a wave” 😂
