share your cheapest cooking recipes here, it has to be under 10$ per meal min, the cheaper the better.

if the recipe is really good with clear details i will give your reply a award.

i will begin:

fried potatoes with onions.

what you will need:
2 medium potatoes
1 small onion
canola oil or sunflower oil or olive oil or butter
salt
black pepper
rosemerry herbs (optional)
sweet paprika (optional)

cost per meal - 0.10$ - 0.50$ (depends on where you buy)

instructions:

cut the potatoes into small cubes and then cut the onions into small cubes aswell, the size of the cubes should be the same like D6 playing dice.

pour 1 teaspoon of oil or butter into a non stick frying pan, or 4 tea spoon of oil or butter in a reguler frying pan (rinse out the oil with the spatula at the end of the fry).

gently heat up the oil on a medium heat for 1.5 minutes.

pour all of the cut potatoes into the pan and fry on medium heat for 10 minutes (stir with a spatula every 2 minutes and cook evenly) until the potatoes are tender, then pour the cut onions into the pan with the potatoes and add salt and black pepper to taste, fry until the potatoes and onions are golden brown (about 5 minutes).

gently take the fried dish onto a plate with the spatula and season with 1/4 tea spoon of rosemerry herb and 1/4 tea spoon of sweet paprika, stir the seasonings and serve.


another recipe: cheese toast sandwich

what you will need:
4 slices of bread (any kind but plain white works best)
oil
mozzarella cheese
yellow cheese (`15% fat) or american cheese
salt
pepper
canned sliced olives (optional)
canned tuna (optional)
fried bacon (optional)
tomato pulp sauce (optional) (also known as pasta sauce) (DO NOT CONFUSE WITH TOMATO PASTE IT WILL MAKE IT WAY TO STRONG FLAVOUR TRUST ME I LEARNED THE HARD WAY)

cost per meal - 1$- 2$ (high rough estimate)

instructions:
smear a few drops of oil on each slice of bread.
place the slices of bread in a oven for 5 minutes on 350 fahrenhiet (180 celsius) or in a toaster untill golden brown.
on two of the four slices place a handful of mozzarella cheese and cover the cheese with yellow cheese or american cheese.
sprinkle salt and pepper on the cheese to taste (sprinkling on the mozzarella cheese works best)
place the other bread slices on top of the cheese bread slices and gently squish them together.
place the sandwich back in the oven for another 5 minutes (do this step even if you did the first step with a toaster)
after the oven finishes leave the sandwich for another 2 minutes in the oven on the resdiule heat.
serve and eat.

NOTES:
you can put olives or bacon or tuna on the mozzarella before covering it with the other cheese just make sure to not put to much or it will fall out when eating.

tomato pulp sauce can be put on the slice of bread before mozzarella and it will make it pizza like taste, you can spice it with oregano and paprika (hot and sweet) to make it even better, tomato pulp is in a jar like container or a tin can in the supermarket its sometimes labeled pasta sauce, do not use tomato paste since its flavour is very strong and meant for other dishes(its in a plastic pull tab container).

you can try and use the toaster for the cheese melting part in a toaster safe bag or whatever but i warmly suggest not to, the bread becomes slighly moist and its not as tasty, like eating stale biscuits.
