We challenged Angie Ketterman to create 10 dishes that save you time and money. You'll love the results — 10 delicious, quick and budget-friendly recipes.
Tough, fatty cuts of meat are best for slow cooking. Buy inexpensive cuts like pork butt, pork spare ribs, beef short ribs and beef shoulder.
Leftovers can do double-duty — use pork butt in pulled pork sandwiches or shred short ribs to serve with rice and beans.
Tortillas are a great way to use up leftovers — you can put anything into them.
Potatoes are inexpensive and make soups and stews more filling. You can also try pasta, beans or grains.
Homemade soups cost a fraction of the canned version and are usually healthier. Freeze extra in single-serving portions for quick lunches.
Buy extra sweet corn at the farm stand, cut kernels off the cob and freeze in plastic bags. It's great sautéed with butter or tossed in soups and stews.
