HOW I FEED MY FAMILY OF 6 FOR UNDER $7 - NO COUPONS NEEDED!!!

Ham & Beans is one of my families favorite meals in the winter.

It is such a healthy & affordable meal to create. 

BEST PART:

1.  It's not a processed meal from a box

2.  Effortless (cooks while you are at work)

3.  High in fiber & a great protein

You don't have to be a couponer to make this affordable meal!

Of course, if you have some of these items in your stockpile 

you will save even more!

This week Paul's Market is having a killer sale on all the items

you will need to make Ham & Beans for less then $6.50

Ham hocks are amazingly cheap and there is more meat

on a hock than you would think!

This is for a family of 6

if you have a smaller family, score you will have leftovers!

HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 1lb of Pinto Beans $.89
• 1 Ham Hock $1.58 (you will be amazed at how much meat is on one!)
• 1 Onion $.39 (might be even cheaper if your onion doesn't weigh 1lb)
• Cornbread Wheel $3.48 (Paul's has an amazing bakery!)

Total Costs $6.34!! 

Or $2.86 - If you have cornbread mix or make your own

DIRECTIONS:

• Place beans, ham hock & half the onion (diced) into a large crockpot.
• Put enough water to submerge the ham hock.
• Cover and let cook for about 8 hours on medium heat.
• When you come home, take the ham hock out of the water remove the skin and bone
• Chop up the meat and put back into the crockpot
• Season to taste.  I like to add salt, peper and garlic to my beans

ENJOY!!

You could even make some honey butter for your cornbread:

*in a small bowl, mix butter or margarine with honey until desired sweetness
