Wonderful food, very cheap

I used to make what my wife called “shit on a shingle”. The concept is that every day, take get some ground meat or bacon or beans or rice and make a sauce, and then put it on get some canned food or frozen food and put the sauce on it. It get to be a habit. My favorite was “shit in a cup” and it was take a cup of ramen noodles and put a sauce on it.<br><br>My favorite one was to take some ground beef, a can of diced tomatoes, a tablespoon of tomato paste, 3 cloves of garlic and some dried basil. Make a sauce of it and then put it on top of ramen noodles. <br><br>So I was making this one which I call “shit on a plate” and it’s a ground beef and mushroom sauce with rice and peas. It’s so damn good. I was thinking about it and I wonder if anyone else does the same thing. Do you have any meals like that?
