  1. 1 pound ground hamburger 1 can peas 2 packages ramen noodles

    Brown the hamburger. Add the flavor packets from the ramen for seasoning. Don't drain the peas; pour
    the peas and water in. Break up the ramen and stir it in, the water from the peas (and hamburger
    grease if it's cheap meat) will soften the ramen. If it dries out too quickly, you may want to add
    more water. Optional ingredients include mushrooms and cheese.

  2. 1 pkg cooked ramen, unflavored, drained 1 can, or frozen box of spinach, cooked, drained 6-9 eggs
    1/2# cooked hamburger Pepper and salt to taste tabasco sauce (optional)

    Scramble it all up. It's basically the same as the German dish, "Maltaushen (mit Ei(eggs))", which
    is a meat/spinach ravioli scrambled in eggs (or just with sauce) popular in southern Germany every
    Wednesday.

    If you want you can pour a small amount of spaghetti or alfredo sauce over it. I like it straight.

    Try substituting Alpo® instead of the hamburger, Decon® mouse baits for the peas, and softened broom
    straw in place of the noodles. Mmm mmm!

    Once I tried flavoring ramen with Kool-Aid. The result wasn't very edible.

    1 box Kraft cheese and Macaroni 6 eggs, hardboiled 1 cup shredded Mozarella 6 link sausages

    Prepare the box of Macaroni according to the instructions. Add additional cheese and melt it in.
    Hard boil the 6 eggs, then chop them using an egg slicer, mix in to the macaroni mix. Fry the
    sausages in the frying pan and slice them about 1/4 inch thick, and mix into the rest of the mess.

    A tad bit salty, but the eggs tone it down somewhat.

    Since going on atkins, I had to give this one up.... <G> Have not had mac and cheese now for at
    least 2 years! <sigh> Nor pizza. Nor Ramen noodles... <megasigh!>

    With Ramen, I used to like to add sliced hardboiled egg, sliced (luncheon meat) turkey breast,
    minced green onions, and just a dash of low sodium soy sauce. Preferably shrimp or chicken ramen.

    The cheapest (and most disgusting) cheap meal that I've ever read about was from the starving
    students recipe log I ran across somewhere.

    This meal is free. ;-)

    Go to McDonalds and ask for a cup of hot water.

    Go to the condiment bar and pick up 6 packages of Ketchup and 3 packages of non-dairy creamer. Add
    them to the hot water and stir.

    Free cream of tomatoe soup. ;-)

    Denny's is better since there are usually free crackers on the table to add to it.

    Well did you know that canned peas contain canned pea goodness? That they contain large amount (up
    to 20%) of phenohapitfrappiziapius, they stuff that is drained out of other canned stuff?

    CANNED PEAS ARE GOOD FOR YOU, BUY MORE. They also infrest my dreams.

    With the price of beef these days, how is adding hamburger cheap?

    Things I ate during my college days included: Peanut butter from a jar and saltines or pb and j
    sandwiches Box macaroni and cheese (mac n cheez) which lasted a couple of days when adding slices of
    american cheese at reheating. American cheese and rice. Scrambled eggs (sometimes I scrambled them
    with a bit of tomato juice or jarred spaghetti sauce and spices) And, of course, the ubiquitous
    ramen noodle soup. No I wasn't a vegetarian, just really poor and meat is expensive. I did have the
    occasional hotdogs and mac n cheez or maybe tuna and mac n cheez.

    Sheesh, kids today! ;-)

    In college, I lived near a Rainbow Bread outlet where I could get day old bread like 4 loaves for a
    dollar, and sometimes they'd have even cheaper bread, 6 or even 8 for a dollar. I ate a lot of
    cinnamon toast, french toast, and egg sandwiches.

    A fried egg between two lightly toasted and buttered slices of bread. Quite quick to fix too.

    Sometimes I'd luck out and could get cinnamon rolls or occasionally fried pies cheap.

    A little hole in the wall neighborhood store was a source of sustenance.

    For like $1.50 they served up a 1/3 loaf sized chunk of bread silced in half, filled with bar-b-
    qued sausage.

    I still do this today, I get large tortas, Mexican style mini-loaves, and cook the sausage in the
    oven till its begins to brown a bit, slosh with bar-b-que sauce, let cook a bit longer and slop onto
    a sliced torta. You can add a little onion too. I buy the cheapest sausage on sale.

    Another college cheapy was baked potatos. Cheap cheese and huge chunks of cheap margarine. And tea.
    Today I use a microwave mainly.

    I'd occasionally make large batches of gingerbread.

    When I was in college, that was in pre-Ramen days, but Ricaroni was a staple.

    I find I occasionaly miss the steam table flavored hamurgers of high school and college cafeterias.

    Check the price of hamburger vs. ground turkey. It's got more food value and less fat.

    Also, texturized vegetable protein stretches ground meat well. Sometimes requires and egg for
    binding, but eggs are good and cheap.
