Sloppy Joe’s made with ground game meat is still a favorite of mine.

Sh*t on a shingle or S.O.S.

Chipped or ground venison or beef. We used both.

Butter
Flour
Milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Bread

Pretty much everything is to taste, we had this and hamburger helper often growing up. I'll make this now when we are camping, but I try to avoid hamburger helper.

Tater tot casserole

Ground beef/venison mixed with cream of mushroom soup and milk in a glass pan. Peas on top of that tater tots on tops of that with cheese. Throw in oven. Peas are optional and could be replaced with corn.

That stuff is the best my wife's grandmother would make that for us everytime we saw her.

That and a glass of her sweet tea..... what I would give for that meal again.

Ground meat fried up loose with onion and a dash of Worcestershire is another one.

Venison tacos. Brown up and season the meat put on a tortilla, toss on whatever you want to pay for. Lettuce, shredded cheeses, avocado, tomato. Put your fav hot sauce on that and have at it. Sometimes I might have some chili seasoned beans or pintos on the side. You dont get much cheaper than beans. If you dont want to mess with cooking dry beans look for great deals on canned beans. I watch my sodium so I like to cook dry beans.

Beef Ramen with grilled duck breast. Just sayin

 

[Boarmaster]

1.5# browned elk burger
3 cups macaroni noodles
Tomato juice
Season to taste

Mom called that hobo stew. Wasnt much elk back then in Ohio so we used ground black angus we raised on our farm.

My kids love "chili tacos." A can of chili with small pieces of wild game steak and cheese in a taco shell.

Sounds tasty

Growing up it was venison stew... A LOT of venison stew lol. Then when I was in college I lived down the street from a fruit/veg stand and the gal would give me the veges that were starting to look a little haggard...yep more venison stew; over rice, on noodles, bread bowls, cheap n easy!

Ingredients:
-Pheasant breasts (2 breasts per serving)
-Yellow onion
-Granny smith apple
-Seasoning rub: (3:2:0.5:0.5) kosher salt, black pepper, sage, garlic powder
-Toothpicks or butcher twine

Instructions:
1. Thinly slice yellow onion into "shoestring" strips
2. Thinly slice apple with skin on
3. Season pheasant breasts on both sides
4. Sandwich onion and apple slices between pheasant breast
5. Secure the assembly together
6. Roast in oven at 350F or smoke to internal breast temp of 160 and rest for 10 mins

This is a family favorite. We buy shredded cheese on sale and freeze it. Rinse a can of chili beans + chopped onion, sour cream, tomato, and 99 cent lettuce.

1) Buy a two pound pork shoulder roast for $6
2) Cook it.
3) Make gravy with the drippings.
4) Eat it for the next 2-3 days with mashed potatoes (plus vegetables if your wife insists).

Recipes are everywhere, e.g. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo-jr/simple-roasted-pork-shoulder-recipe-1923881

I can't figure out why people say they need more money or they will go hungry. Food is cheap these days. For example, chicken. https://www.thekitchn.com/the-cost-...cken-cuts-from-least-to-most-expensive-243382

Recipe:
1) Buy some chicken
2) roll in flour
3) fry it

Last night my wife put two shanks in the insta-pot along with a cut up raw onion and a little water. She cooked it until it fell apart. I shredded it, added equal parts juice and BBQ sauce and made a BBQ sandwich. It was as good as anything I've had at a restaurant.

Most cheap recipes take a little time to prepare, which may be limiting. Food that comes in a box can be cheap and quick, but most have too much salt, carbs and calories, plus stuff that isn't good for you.

Put a can of Hormel hot chili in the fire, add some crakers on the side...

Those insta-pots work great.

Dude (yes I said dude): delicious, healthy & basic recipes in no way have to be on a budget. We've been cooking delicious wild game recipes all my life, and they in no way are expensive to make, the ingredients are basic, you've just got to put them together properly and cook it properly.
