Cooked a whole chicken in the crock pot yesterday. The carcass is brewing into a lovely stock with onion peelings from the freezer and other added flavorings. Chicken and dumplings with mashed potatoes and green beans last night. A large container of chicken for at least two other meals in the fridge plus leftovers from last nigh’s meal. Making the bird stretch here!

I love these series, especially with alot of people out of work and on a tight budget. Thanks so much Bev! 💓

Yay for good, nutricious food! You always teach the best recipes that don't cost a lot. Love you!!

Very interesting meal looks really good

Great job!

I love your stretcher meals!! Stretches food and money!! Hope to see more!!

That dish really looked delish.

I make 'Garbage Delight': whatever is in the 'fridge which will soon end up going into the garbage, is used to make a soup or a stew or a casserole. So blessed to have these skills during these times. Blessings to you and Howie.

looks good

Wow! Good deal. I really like these making it stretch videos.

Hey sweetheart this is Sheila that leaves in Tennessee that loves watching you at night since I've been sick. Just keep praying for me I'm going to try to make that recipe tomorrow that look delicious it really did I have not ate anything can a couple days cuz I'm going to have stick on my stomach I thought about trying that but I had been drinking soup broth that I've canned thank God. Thank you so much for your videos I really appreciate them and just keep praying for me love you take care and God bless you

A little Italian seasoning and carrots would be good in this recipe. Replacing the rice with macaroni pasta would make this an even cheaper meal. Good eats!! 😊

Watched this early this morning now have that meal in my slow cooker it looked so good

Another amazing meal! Thanks for sharing! I’ll bet that celery broth was so good mixed in with everything! 🥰😋🥰😋😋😋😋😋

I want that for dinner tonight! Yummy

Mmmm.....going to try that.

That looks really good. I'm making this one.

Looked delish Bev. I throw together stuff like that all the time and it comes out so very good!

I love sausage baked in tomatoes and rice I grew up eating this with family of 8.

I took out Italian sausage this morning and was wondering what to do with it. This is perfect!

You're my favorite on U tube!

Yup, what she said!! Starving and it looks delicious. Ok not really starving. I did have dinner but oh, that looks so good!!

That looks like a great crockpot meal. It's going to be on my table this weekend.

Imma try this out and whack a little hot sauce to my serving 😋

My memory is smelling the aroma (sausage, peppers, onions, oh my)!!!

I literally adapted this as my own just now. Instead of sausage,I used chicken thighs. I used my dehydrated onions and celery. I had to clean out my freezer and the chicken was looking a little rough. Almost freezer burnt but not quite there. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Ty

That looks great’ I couldn’t believe your ground beef recipe in your meatloaf recipe! We pay around 3 something a pound. Last week I got ground beef for 2.99 a pound

Thanks 😊

Hi Bev another wonderful economical meal. I have hot Italian sausage in the freezer I'm going to be making it for supper tonight it's almost 2 am I will take the sausages out and put in the fridge after I finish commenting. Thanks for sharing much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

I am saving this video...this looked awesome and I love rice. I went shopping today and onions were from 3.99 to 5.62 a bag. The really cheap onions are 2.99 a bag...those make my eyes burn and I don't like the taste. What I have been doing is chopping my onions and freezing them. Doing the same with celery that way nine goes to waste. I am also freezing eggs. I am packaging my meat in smaller quantities. I am cutting back on how much meat I eat in a meal. I topped off my meat freezer.

My sister has been making something like that for years. She mentioned it to me 20 years ago when I started making the sausage cabbage stew and I always thought it was a version of the Spanish rice dish that uses chorizo sausage.

I made something similar with Beer brats and noodles .

I absolutely LOVE these videos. I know its not technically a "food" item but the lid on the canned celery would add a cost to the meal too. I dont know how much canning lids are there but here in Australia they would be the most expensive part of the meal!! 😒

Haha. I just finished eating my meal of Tomato soup brown rice and browned breakfast sausage!!! I thought it might be a good combo and it was!! Lol.

I would've had to run those 'maters through the blender, but yummy!! 😋

OMG You had me flinching backwards with every upward knife movement. 😂 girl you gotta get a bigger knife. Joking...now... seriously...the meal looked delicious💝💝💝

That’s a lot of food for under five bucks!

My mom always made up names for food dishes when she didn’t know quite what to call it. We home makers have to find creative ways to feed our families. We have to be imaginative, creative and fast thinkers.

What size is your crockpot?

Bev I wanted to take a moment to recognize your youngest viewer. Alice Marie Palmer she is 6 months old and we are both from Michigan. During the day I babysit her while her parents are at work . I tell Alice time to watch Auntie Bev (lol) she sits with me or plays on the floor and she watches. If I turn your channel on and she hears your voice, she immediately looks at the tv. She really likes when Gracie makes her entrance. My husband remarked Alice really likes watching Bev. If you every wonder who watches. Your youngest viewer Alice. Take care and God Bless.

I had to chuckle - I also use any knife that is at hand - LOL!

I came across this video and I'm in 2 minutes cracking up. My maiden name is Gullion.

Aren't you so glad you've acquired these skills? I feel so sorry for the many that can't even begin to do this. My 33 year old son doesn't even know a girl that can cook at all! So many people eat processed, packaged food or take a way - Sad!

Lol is that a pie dish for poppa hahah

Is food more expensive in canada?well,IAM cheap and shop at Aldi alot.lol.reminds me of when we got married in Denmark.we about starved for three days because food prices were quadruple compared to germany.but we survived and are still kicking it 33 years later.😊

I LOVE DISHES LIKE THIS, BUT MY HUSBAND DOESN'T ...HE'S WEIRD (AND SKINNY) LOL

We call that river etufee
