I got a big can of baked beans gave to me..Im not a big fan of beans only time I eat them is in burrito's..I don't eat chilly because I have acid reflex.I know refried beans are usually in burritos but could baked beans be used?I was thinking about trying to make my own burritos you know the kind you can freeze and reheat in microwave..I know basically it's beans,tortilla,cheese,sometimes meat and sauce..Im trying to cut way down on food costs.SO I was thinking of bean and cheese or just bean burritos.

Im open to suggestions I just don't have much to cook with plus I don't like heating house up during summer.

I basically have a crockpot,electric skillet and a microwave to cook with.Other than a small electric grill you could make a grilled cheese on and cover the whole grill with.

Here is what ive been eating egg on toast,grilled cheese,canned beef ravioli(I can sometimes find this on sale)canned green beans.

Something we like to do at my house is buy ham bone, ham hock, or beef roast (if it's on sale, because it can be a little pricey) and throw it in the crock pot with enough water and chicken stock to cover the meat and the beans. We usually let it cook for about 10 hours, but it just depends on how soft you want your food.

I bet you could probably find some other nice ideas on Google!

Something else that I love doing you can actually find as a recipe on the back of Campbell's Beefy Mushroom soup. It called for kidney beans, but those are pretty inexpensive too. It's basically just a skillet meal with rice, cheese, ground beef, kidney beans, beefy mushroom soup (it also calls for tomatoes and chili powder, but I leave those out because I think it tastes better that way), mixed all together and then thrown on top of tortilla chips. Really easy and cheap meal that's delicious.

I think got a pot roast or some kind of roast in my freezer..I will have to check make sure it's still good..I keep getting canned carrots gave to me and only thing im seeing I can do with them is glaze them..

Ive got to cut expenses down cause im trying to save up to get a new mower mine was tore up parts laying all over my yard.Ive already had my tv turned off trying to cut down where ever I can.My mortgage payments are another reason for me trying to cut down on cost.

Canned carrots would be good with some sausage, potatoes and tomato soup (and in pieces). Throw everything in the crock pot at low and it's delicious.

Ive got canned sliced potatoes..almost everything I have is canned..I do have boxed broth.. Luckily for today I had some boneless skinless catfish pieces and I grilled them with some lemon pepper.Sometimes my local food pantry gives good stuff other times it's like can of corn cranberry juice which im allergic to and a box of cereal..It's like they got a stock in the cranberry market.Sigh wish food help places would put stuff together so people can actually make a meal.I mean even a box of mac and cheese and a box of mashed potatoes would be better than a can of corn cranberry juice and cereal.

You can put them on a hot dog, or chop the hot dog up and put them in the baked beans! They are mainly used as a side dish for like steak and chicken! Mmmm. I want some now. lol.

I got like 4 cans of carrots and 2 or 3 cans of sliced potatoes..

food help place today gave me more canned carrots,canned potatoes,canned applesauce and some cranberry stuff which im allergic to..

Place only helps twice a month..Trying to make a meal out of this isn't easy.. wonder what i can with canned carrots and canned potatoes in a crockpot..Ive got canned green beans canned corn and I think canned peas..I got a box of chicken broth..
