No meat, that can be one of the best ideas when it comes to cooking on a budget. For example, 1 pound of ground beef, $3.50. A 10 pound bag of potatoes, $1.00 to $3.00.

Potato Stir Fry

2 Medium Potatoes
Half an Onion (White, Brown, or Red)
1 Bell Pepper (Green, Red, or both)
1 Tomato
Various other veggies, like carrots, mushrooms or celery.
Butter or Margarine
a clove of Garlic
Garlic salt or Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Black Pepper (optional)

Chop all the veggies into bite sized pieces. Butter your large frying, and add the potatoes, onions, and the clove of garlic (peeled, of course). Cover pan with lid, and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally so that the potatoes won't stick. Season them with salt, and add the bell peppers and any other veggies you decided to used, except for the tomatoes. Stir for another 10 minutes, or until all the veggies are soft. Add tomatoes and remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Find the clove of garlic and toss it in the trash (it's flavor is too strong to be eaten whole). Serve and enjoy. Feeds 2 or 3.
