Fast food has gone the way of the dodo for me. I am trying desperately to cut out eating out, except for the weekend. Lately, just through helping people out, I have been getting free food left and right. I am limited in what I can cook, but I can do soup! I have a couple cans of Campbells chunky soup in the pantry, and have lately been making them go very far. Just treat them like condensed soup. They go from stew to soup, and I have leftovers! Simple. This works pretty much for the beef barley, steak etc.
Someone mentioned eggs, I am famous in my family and tight circle of friends for my dumpster omelette. I don't use tuna or potato chips :barf::barf::barf:anymore, not since I was about 15, but I do put select leftover vegetables and meat in my omelette (venison and asparagus omelettes are for a select palette, but mine likes it).
But, during the winter, soup is my go to. A big pot of soup, with el cheapo beef cubes, leftover ground beef, kale, barley, maybe the dented big can of vegetable beef soup that was on sale. Eat for a week, just keep adding water. My father has been getting all kinds of venison cuts from friends and family, and has been making chili every weekend. Warms you twice, like cutting firewood, although a little bit more exhausting
