Eating for Pennies, what?

Well... thousands of pennies, to be fair. We are tired of people saying that in order to eat good food it has to cost a lot of money or that you have to know how to cook. This is just not true. We don't know anything about cooking. We are just two guys in college that wanted to see how cheap we could eat for a week. We just went to the store and bought food. We didn't look for sales use coupons. Just bought food. We hope that people out there that have no money (college types and English/History/Art majors) can benefit from these recipes.

Pot Roast

So lets makes ourselves a POT ROAST!

You are going to need:

4-5 Potatoes
1 Onion
1 Beef Roast

You can get yourself a beef roast for cheap. This one cost us about $2.40

You will need a crockpot slow cooker. If you don't have one, GET ONE. Seriously, go to any garage sale and they will have crockpots for sale, but get one.

Call the electric wife.

You throw all the ingredients into it in the morning, go to work for 8 hours, and when you get home, TADA, dinner is ready.

You do, however, have to clean it. Heh.

Put the roast into the bottom of the pot.

Simply chop up the potatoes and onion.

Throw em in the pot and fill it up with water until it covers everything.

Throw in some spices if you want. I think we threw in oregano and parsley.

Turn it on high and wait. We put it in at about 12pm and then ate it at 8pm, but it was done before that.

Once done, serve it in a bowl.

Bon appetit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: do NOT throw out the watery broth that is left behind! You just made some awesome homemade beef broth! You keep that, son! Use it for soup or something the next day.
