Whats the one cheap ingredient that is under rated but can make recipes next level good?
Trying to eat better and stay a bit healthier without my grocery bill is depressingly bad, like I am not exactly living on the breadline, but it has just gotten so bad lately I am trying to cut back on things and get the costs as low as possible.
I've been making my own homemade stock from scraps, and adding red lentils (not black or brown) to beef up any dishes that need ground meat, also using corriander powder to make things taste meatier. The texture is waaaaay better than using black lentils. So here I am beggin reddit for more ideas similar to this, that I haven't thought of to make cash stretch further and still be healthy.
I saw a couple of reels on IG of some guy making a tater tot casserole with rotissery chicken and as much as that would be great and cheap, that is far from healthy... so I'd like to avoid the commercial cheap empty food as long or as much as possible
