Bean stew (I use black): Two cans beans one can diced tomatoes one onion other veggies? (bell peppers, etc) bay leaf, spices, hot salsa (to taste). Sautee onions/veggies Stew everything until it's the consistency you want (put it all in a pot). For about $5-7 /pot which feeds about 4, it's pretty cheap. Also, you can prep it and start everything stewing, and then just let it boil. Furthermore, it keeps really well, so you can just make a large batch and reheat it.
