I can make a double recipe of chicken biryani for less than $20. It’s some of the best food in the world.

I bought four bone-in porkchops for like $10.77 last week. I grilled them. With them we had fresh green beans with new potatoes, squash casserole, some sort of cucumber salad stuff, and cornbread. All the vegetables were fresh from a neighbor's garden.

I bought a six pack with the extra cash.

ETA: We ate leftovers the next day for lunch and had enough for two more meals, so that would have technically fed four people.

There are a few things, you may just have to cut back a little.

Broccoli cheese and chicken casserole.

Salad.

Red beans and rice.

Chicken and dumplings.

Mexican.

Taco soup.

Chili.

I could keep going, but those are another of the staples in my house.

Hell you could do cereal, grits and eggs, oatmeal.

The Austex chili sauce really adds to the nutritional value.

Chili dogs are delicious, though.

One pound ground meat, taco shells or tortillas, seasoning, cheese.

Getting close to $20, so I’ll have to choose between either pico de gallo or shredded lettuce.

Tacos for 4

Eating some frozen taquitos, think like $6 a box, pretty good. 2 boxes would feed 4 easily
