I never thought I’d have to explain why these are considered “poorman”, but here I go..
It’s called poorman versions because the original recipes are WAY more expensive than these.
Original Beef stroganoff calls for more expensive ingredients.
Beef stew calls for stewed meat which around here is $12 minimum for a pack! When 1/2 a pound of hamburger is $1.92..
The total cost of both of these meals were around $5 and some change.
Brooke my love, people can be so idiotic! Your channel can and would save people so much money if they would just LISTEN and FOLLOW directions! Welcome to my life LOL:)
What size is your crock pot
Just a cooking tip on extending the beef even more. Instead of draining the beef, add quick oatmeal to it and it will take on the flavors, good fiber, and stretch that protein flavor.
I sometimes add lentils, but I'm going to try this!
Wow, thank you for that amazing tip, I will surely try that!!
I do this! It’s a great trick.
I also add cauliflower rice instead, to extend it to hamburger for taco meat or spaghetti sauce. Has to be cooked after hamburger almost cooked. Love your channel!
Excellent tip. Thanks.
Another inexpensive meal my mama made that I loved was hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes or rice. You only use 1/2 lb of hamburger and make a roux gravy adding beef bouillon. So tasty and filling on a Fall day!
I love hamburger gravy! One of my favorites.
Yes love it
We still make this w/mashed taters and peas or corn top!!!!
Mother used cream of mushroom soup. It's still my all time favorite! Yum!!
Just made this last night. My granddaughters love it with mashed potatoes and peas
I sometimes need to rely on the food bank, and they give me a lot of canned beans in tomato sauce. I will fry up some onion and garlic, mix in the beans in tomato sauce and add some flavours.. then use it on buns as sloppy joes!
❤
We basically eat budget meals all the time & I'm so grateful now that prices are so high. Keep the recipes coming! 🙂
That's just about all we eat too! 😃
My mama would make these simple type meals for us in the 70's as a single parent.( Beef was a cheaper meat back then) As a kid they never felt like a "poor man's meal" we just loved the meals and we never knew they were budget meals. 🙂
Thanks for another great video.
Great video!
Your sons are so well-mannered and polite! Love these two recipes! Thank you!
Money tight? That's an understatement here at my homestead. 💞your frugal meals!
Thank you Brooke. I love the recipes that you turn out. In expensive but tasty! Keep being Kind! Keep giving that SMILE to others. You have brightened yet another rainy day.
My mom made what she called hamburger stroganoff by cooking her hamburger and some onions. Then adding, the flour, a bit of ketchup(some use tomato paste, and then a can of beef consomme. Then, you added sour cream at the end. she always served with baked potatoes and not noodles. Another of her recipes was basically a sloppy joe mixture in a cup made out of a canned biscuit rolled out really thin. The nostalgic recipes tend to be the cheap ones and the good ones at least for me. Taking ground beef/any protein really and bulking it up with potatoes, rice, beans, etc is a great way to stretch the food budget.
If you buy ground turkey because it is more affordable than ground beef, if you put Worcestershire sauce on it as you cook it, it will make it taste more beef like. A tip I learned from another TH-camr.
My mom loved to make stuff in biscuit cups... We had stew cups, pizza cups, sloppy joe cups, etc. growing up
@@rosemarydoran9907
@@ashleyhaugh9716 do you know if she pre baked the cups at all?
@@robinguertin574 nope, and I don't either when I make them. Everything is put it cooked, so you just cook them until the biscuits are done and cheese is melted (if it has cheese)
Hamburger Stroganoff was a favorite of ours when I was growing up. My mother made it and I made it and loved it as did the rest of the family. But I must say your version is a modern version because cream cheese was not even on the market 80-85 years ago when we had our "poor-man" meals. Cream cheese is an extravagant addition that surely adds creaminess. addictiveness. We have never added that, so it can be even less expensive. I love your channel and look forward to it all the time.
I make beef stroganoff a lot in my marriage of 57 years I too never use cream cheese I will have to try it that way hubby love noodle and me mashed taters. lol
We use a lot of canned milk in our cooking because fresh milk wasn’t always available in Alaska back in the day. I live on a farm in Missouri and I’ve learned to make my own sour cream, butter, mayonnaise, home made bullion, etc. so glad my momma taught me how to cook old school.
Love you Mom! Miss you every single day. 💙💙
Stick a bay leaf in the pot and a dash of Worcestershire will add depth to stew
Lady, my last name is "Poorman"!! Literally, for real!! As I tell everyone, "I'm a poor woman, married to a Poorman!"
Lovin these ideas for fall meals here in HumboldtIL❣️❣️😁🥔🧅🧄🍅🍝
Un peu d humour
PAS mal votre NOM
Poorman's stew brings back memories. I fed 7 of us with almost the exact same thing. Add cornbread and you have an awesome southern fall meal. My kids still ask for it.
We love you Brooke 😊 everyone look awesome. I need the beef stroganoff right now
I am still trying to learn how to NOT cook for an army. When I see you use a half pound of ground beef, I think if I ever used just a half pound of ground beef for a dinner my kids would die of shock. It takes a while to get used to cooking for less people when the kids grow up and move out. I am definitely trying that beef stew this weekend, it looks delicious.
I make the stroganoff with only two additional ingredients added to the cream sauce mixture (diced onion cooked with meat and a table spoon of mustard) it really is very inexpensive yet so ooo tasty!
Going to have to try the crock pot stew for sure!
What kind of mustard, please? Dry mustard powder, prepared mustard, Dijon, etc? I'm always interested in new seasoning techniques. Thanks.
I would have tossed a can of SOME vegetable into it. Probably a can of peas or a small head of broccoli in the pasta water. I add at least one can of veggies in pretty much everything I cook.
@@jenniferwintz2514 I add Dijon mustard to my Swedish meatball gravy. I tried without and it actually taste better with it.
I have used all types of mustard it's whatever flavor you like best really. I mix it up because everyone in my household has a different favorite kind of mustard lolol
As for adding veggies, I believe the recipe I first saw did have peas in it but we aren't fans of peas so I always make a veggie side usually salad.
first time seeing your channel, i actually loved this video.
that’s called a “roux” when you start gravy with butter/grease and flour, you could’ve stretched it even further with a bit of milk.
thanks for the ideas, good video, you really stretched the food. love the poorman’s stroganoff! i will be trying both of these recipes. your youngest son’s reaction was awesome, hope he was able to be revived after “passing out” from deliciousness hahaha😎
Everything looks delicious, Brooke! I hope you and your four men have a blessed and wonderful Wednesday! xoxo
Thank you Brooke. You reminded me I have some egg noodles. We are at zero spend use what we have mode. Tonight is some type of meat (hoping I have some frozen chicken thighs) Along with my famous dressing (A box of generic stovetop, an onion, 2 apples, some celery, can of chicken broth stick of butter). I will write down some instructions and post a pic to FB later. In a few mins I am taking inventory of all I have and making a plan for the next zero spend week😮. I’m thankful that I have what I need for the next week for sure, though the menu will be a bit different from the norm.
We love beef stroganoff! Great comfort food. I have never put cream cheese in ours but I’m sure my family would love it. And, I do add about 2TB of Worcestershire sauce for the tang.
An even easier, streamlined version of stroganoff - brown your meat in a large/deep pan/pot, then add mushrooms if desired (drain beef if needed first). Add beef boullion powder or onion soup mix or some combination of onion and garlic powders, salt, favourite seasonings (add worchestershire or soy sauce if not using boullion powder), then you uncooked pasta (macaroni or something small and sturdy works best). Barely cover with boiling water from kettle, pop on the lid and simmer on low until pasta is cooked, stirring occasionally. Do not drain (you might need to add water). Remove from heat and stir in sour cream (quantity depending on how much sour cream you have and how creamy you like it).
We eat this *a lot*. It's easy like hamburger helper but cheaper. The basic technic of cooking the noodles with the beef etc we call "noodles in a pan" and you can make it any number of ways... tex mex? Canned tomatoes and chili powder, cumin, oregano and a can of black beans (which can even replace the meat) or corn. Italian? Canned tomatoes or spag sauce, italian seasoning, sprinkle on some cheese if you have. Ukrainian? Saute onions (a few different kinds is good if you have growing in the garden etc) and garlic until softened, then bring half water and half milk to a boil. Add dill and whatever seasonings you like. Add pasta and cook on low. Add in softened cream cheese at end to mix to incorporate. I will sometimes add fresh or frozen spinach, kale or swiss chard to any of these to boost nutrition. Those all grow prolifically in my garden all summer and I can buy spinach and kale frozen cheap on sale through the winter (once I've used up my own that I've blanched and frozen).
I just found ur channel 😀 besides liking ur food, you and your husband and boys are adorable and seem very kind. Keep up the good work and thank you for All the good food ideas 👍
I just found you today and I already love you!!! I love that you're so down to earth. Thank you so much!! I can't wait to try your recipes....🤓
I'm 53. You have helped me so much brooke! I love you and your family. Ive made several of your dishes as well. You tube (or something ) unsubscribe me from you I noticed today!!!! Much love from Missouri..........natalie
You should do a weekly video of your home school lunches!! I loved those you did!!!! I bet everyone else does too!
I know i did!
Brooke you are an amazing cook Thank you for your Poorman recipes I need these I cannot stretch my food dollars like I used to
Always measure garlic, cheese and vanilla with your heart!
Amen! lol
Both of these look great. I'm going to try them but especially the stroganoff. I usually buy the Hamburger Helper but this is homemade and healthier. Thanks for sharing.
I'm making one our family's favorite budget soups right now! Chicken and dumplings. So cheap, so yummy, so comforting!
That looks so good. I never knew how to make homemade cream of mushroom soup, I cannot believe it is that easy
Your recipes look delicious....as always! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
I make poor man's beef stew all the time. My family loves it! I add chopped onion, if I have any on hand. I also make poor man's lasagna using 2 boxes of Mac and cheese, 1/2 lb hamburger meat, a jar of spaghetti sauce, and a little bit of shredded mozzarella.
I am so glad i found you. thank you so very much for all you do for us. much love to you.
Happy to have found you! Very helpful!
❤ my grandparents have the same countertops as you. Lots of good food has come out of that kitchen too.
I love Ms Clara’s poor man’s meals
I love my fetch app. I use it for restaurant gift cards because we go to dinner every Christmas Eve and that's what I used to help pay for the family dinner.
Besides biscuits and gravy for frugal meal we often had fried taters with an over easy egg on top. Or a pancake the size of a dinner plate with two eggs on top. A tip for homemade pancakes, French toast or waffles is to add a couple tablespoons of syrup to the batter then you have the flavor but. Or the mess and loss of extra syrup. Oh I
Thank you sweet lady for sharing these meal ideas with us!
I never thought of using cream cheese in beef Stroganoff, but it sounds delicious.
A teaspoon of garlic powder... Pours half a cup 😂 I love it
Brooke.....that morning hair!!! Looks like me when I wake up. Pony tail all sideways, trying to leave my head 🤦😆😆😆.
Same here 😂 My bun... doesn't stay😂
By chance you have a cookbook love your ideas and menus
i use fresh onions, and celerys, fresh garlic, and those stew meats with bones in them, i use beef broth with same type of seasonings & veggies that you use.
Stroganoff looks delicious and easy!!
I make something similar with brown gravy powder instead of the tomato paste and it’s also amazing. Also au ju powder works forgets too!
Love your Son's reaction...what a kind "little man", already 😊
We make the plant based version of these meals- feeds all 8 of us with leftovers for $5 or less! Love love love stews, soups, ect! Yummy and frugal💞
@brooke The lead in commercial I saw at the beginning of this video was for ‘Feeding America’ which pleased me because of how you often mention two things…ask for help with food insecurity and to be kind…🙆🏻♀️
Love all your meals. These ones look so delicious... I can't wait to try these ones.
Just found your channel.....both meals are delicious. I love, especially, anything cooked in a crockpot! You are very sweet and your recipes will help us all out in these hard times. God bless!
I just recently subscribed to your channel, and I have to say I bet everyone in your family adores you. I LOVE your content and your happy, spunky attitude is such a great added bonus!!!
Thank you so much for this comment! Made my day!
That stroganoff is almost identical to the one my granny made. Yum!
Thank you Brooke for the delicious recipes. Thanks for showing us an easy way of making cream soup.
New subscriber.....I make beefstew like you but instead of using tomato paste I use a jar of ragu sauce..it has all the spices in it and its delicious!..btw im in Lenoir City Tennessee...just a few miles from Farragut!
Hello neighbor!!
Yes I like this recipes tank you you are good Mum Wife
Great video! I love making stroganoff this way and I will definitely be trying the stew! God Bless!
Thank you for showing me how to make homemade mushroom soup because I am celiac so I can use gluten free flour! Thank you so much!!😊
My first visit here and I had to subscribe!!!
Poorman’s tuna noodle casserole or a fry up of hot dogs, corn and canned potatoes! Still crave it today lol
Thanks!!!! You're the Best!
Your stew looks really good. I might have put beef bouillon in too😊. I use Receipt Hog as well as Fetch.
my mom used to make this!!! egg noodles, 1 can cream mushroom, 1/4cup sourcream and of course the ground hamburger.. she always just clef it burger noodles. she did the same with canned tuna
That's what i do. Prefer fresh mushrooms to canned
i used to make hamburger veggie soup..yummy
ground burger,canned mix veggies, tomato juice and beef bouillon. and your spices and maybe a pack of brown gravy mix 🤔 if ya got it! always made cornbread with it
Making this tomorrow evening! Yum!
It's so refreshing to see homemade cream of mushroom soup instead of the canned stuff. It's so easy and cheaper to make yourself!
I make this exact recipe and my family loves it! I do throw in one beef boillion cube and about a teaspoon of sugar. It’s great with cornbread.
The beef stew is what am referring to! Love your videos.
Good evening Southern Frugal Mama. That looks delicious. There's nothing like good old fashioned Trashplate - ground beef, crispy fried potatoes, maybe some baked beans.
I agree! That is some good cooking right there!
@@SouthernFrugalMomma Actually it's even better if you add some chopped scallions and a few sprinkles of cheddar cheese. Serve it with some nice buttered homemade cornbread.
👏👏👏❤❤was so excited to see a new viedo for us,,thank you!!! Love what you share with us
That garlic powder hitting different 😂 I love it both meals look amazing!!
Thanks 😊 keep sharing love ❤ your ideas
Love the stroganoff recipe! I live alone, so I could even halve that.
Brooke!! Glad to see you back. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels and I missed you.
Also I use receipt hog and pogo and upside (for gasoline) along with fetch. You can use them all at the same time. You don't have to pick just one.
Great meals ideas, your family is adorable 😊
My favorite new TH-cam channel ❤
Thank you 💜
You are a lifesaver. Thank you. New Subscriber ❤️
Love your Southern accent. I'm from Texas 🇱🇷
Both recipes look Yummy and Full of Flavor!😋🍲😋
You make cooking look so easy! Love they way you make Cream of Mushroom Soup! I have a dry mix I make up and use but your way is even easier! Really like your channel and I subscribed! Going to binge watch some more of your videos!
lol, just found your channel on yt last week, looked at your budget challenges (sorry no native English speaker, so maybe some language mistakes ) and love the
way you make it, and bring it really fun. Also love the little guy pass out when he likes the food you made on budget. Keep making those movies, and I gonna check out the channel of your hubby too. Your really a great family of people . luv u .
Just saw your video an definitely subscribing.
no ground beef on hand no canned mushrooms~ however .. I DO have ground turkey and a few fresh mushrooms.. gonna make this work :) and the beef stew looks yummy too 😋
I miss making beef stroganoff. My husband is lactose intolerant. So he can't have it anymore. But , that looked Soo good.
Thanks for your tips!🙏🏻
Brooke
Love seeing you cook. These meals look great and it will help stretch $ will prices the way they are. Have a great day.
My favorite poor man meal is beef ramen with sour cream. (I leave a little water) taste just like Beef stroganoff but less than $2.00 to make.
thanks for the ideas have to alter abit because i live in the UK but when my kids were little no money i lived with my slow cooker i got from a charity shop my elder daughter still got it and shes nearly ,50 so thanks for all the ideas with thinga going so awful you wonder again how you can afford to eat look forward to more recipes.
I can't wait to try these recipes. Thank you for sharing. I got so excited when I got the notification of your new video. You're amazing.
These both look SO GOOD! I have no idea why I never thought to use ground beef for beef stew 😅 but it's one of my favorite meals and it looked delicious 😋
i love watching what you cook
You just keep knocking its out of the park. I want to try the stroganoff first and I’m even going to make my own mushroom soup.
You can save time and energy by cooking the whole pound of hamburger and de fatting it and saving half for the next day. Or freeze it.
We haven’t used garlic powder in 30ish years. DH prefers either fresh or the garlic in the jar because garlic powder gives him heartburn. We always have a jar or squeeze tube of garlic in the fridge.
Started watching you a month ago and just love your frugal comforting recipes along with your sweet fun personality and adorable family please tell your husband thank you for his services and we wish you blessings keep up the wonderful videos love from our family the Wilson’s!❤🧑🍳🇺🇸
The tomato paste was a real shocker to me. Thanks for the ideas!
Stroganoff is my favorite too. Having some staples on hand makes a couple cheap ingredients tasty … flour, butter, spices, beef bouillon, onions and for me celery. I’ve rearranged my budget many times to keep these ingredients on hand
the beef stew i always use gravy gravy packets i never seen it like this
Beef stew. .. Hawaiian beef stew add to ur recipe soy sauce n bay leaf
I use a can of mushroom soup 78 cents and sourcream and onion soup mix. And brown gravy my kids love it
