Default Re: Inexpensive meal ideas

Good meal last night that someone might be interested in making.

Jerked Pork Burritos

Put a pork loin $4.07 in the crockpot and poured on a large can of mild green chilies bought on sale for .50 cents (this would equal two of the small cans I reckon). Mine was frozen solid and I put it on high for four hours. I didn't put any seasoning at all in it but tonight I might add a tsp. of Season All - I'm a big sissy and FrugalSon is as well - we don't eat HOT spicy food. So if you want spicy you'll have to do something else to punch it up.

After the four hours I just used two forks and shredded the meat. Everyone warmed their own burrito shell (pkg of 20 for $1.09) in a hot skillet on the stove for a few seconds. Loaded up some meat, chopped onion (.25), sour cream (.99) and grated marble jack cheese (1.59). These were surprisingly tasty. The crunch of the fresh onions really stood out against the spiced meat. We had burrito shells, sour cream, grated cheese, onion and meat all left over.

This would be an easy recipe for someone who works to load up the ol' crockpot and come home to dinner ready. The guys all ate four apiece and I had three ! Served cold canned peaches and a green salad with it.

We'll be having the leftovers tonight along with the soup we made for lunch today.
