Default Budget Cooking

With the cost of groceries going up every day I thought that maybe we could all share our "budget" recipes. I know that I am trying to cook with less now and sometimes it gets to the point where I just fix the same things over and over.

Does anyone have any recipes to share that are budget friendly AND good??

I'll start:

Tuna Spaghetti Casserole

4 ounces spaghetti, broken, cooked & drained
1 can or pouch (7 oz.) tuna, drained & flaked
1 small jar pimentoes (optional), drained & chopped
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (your choice - I use extra sharp cheddar)
1/2 cup crushed potato chips

Combine cooked spaghetti (I break mine up into 2 inch pieces before cooking), tuna and pimento. In a large saucepan combine the soup, milk and cheese. Heat and stir until cheese is melted. Add spaghetti/tuna mixture and mix well. Transfer to a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish and sprinkle with crushed potato chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves 4.
