Okay folks listen we back at it again with another budget friendly meals and listen if you go to my page look under the playlist you’ll find one it says budget friendly meals right super easy to make cheap on the pocket feeds your family 4 to six so let’s get it okay

Folks now look I’m going to go ahead and scan over some of these ingredients right here as you guys can see not a whole lot but I want to I want you guys to pay attention right here look I’m going to be using black beans and look

They come in a low sodium version too right we need two cans so those are the regular as you can see look we got our spices in the back right we got our onions we going to be doing it in the Dutch oven and then look

Look right here we’re going to be using the small elbow macaroni okay folks so listen if I hadn’t said already listen this is nothing but a one pot meal right extremely easy and again it’s budget friendly right so now I’m going to take my infused olive oil you guys have

Regular olive oil that works too I put in just about a tablespoon in here and I want to talk about my ground beef listen because I don’t want it to be oily or have to do no kind of like drain or anything like that I’m using a 937 blend

Right so put a medium high heat under the bottom of here I’m going to go ahead and take my ground beef we’re going to drop this in then you want to get yourself like a little meat Masher you know I mean this right here crumbl it up

Good this is either made out of like a nepr type of substance or like a plastic right but it won’t scratch up the bottom of your porcelain on your Dutch oven right so I’m just breaking this up what we want to do is we want to Brown

This right now I’m going to go ahead and add my onions now cuz we want to cook them down just a little bit I’ll just give it a little stir with this here this is no problem it’s still going to render a little fat even though

The the beef content is content is 937 right so the the fat percentage of this is 7% now I’m getting ready to bring a happy smile to my face and I’m going to load up my garlic press and then we going to go ahead and just get this Going And now I’ll just continue to work this in and let’s cook this while we what we looking to do right now is just Brown the meat once I get it almost brown then we’re going to come with our blend the spices now you guys can see a lot of my

Pink is went away you know what I mean we still going to continue to cook it all right but this is a good time that you can go ahead and add your you know your spices right I’m getting ready to add myself a couple of pinches of salt just to wake

Up the flavor now we’ll go ahead and add in our Tomatoes no drain just add them in okay so after we put in our diced tomatoes right then we want to add in you know our sauce right so just add them you want to have the right tool for the

Job I don’t want to add no water to the can to get it all out just use a small spatula to get everything right so you want to add all three of your cans then you want to add in your black beans I’ve already drained these I didn’t want to

Do the mash and drain you know I just hold them upside down once I take remove the top put the top back on there and just let whatever liquid can you know drain out I don’t want to have no mushy beans right mixing this up you guys can

Look right there ah yeah this is what I like to be honest with you sometime I like to take another onion even though I did a whole onion that was like a medium siiz onion and diced it down I like to take another one and just like uh make

It like eighth instead of like quarter we cut it down a little bit more I like to have the onion in there for myself all right now I’m getting ready to come with my chicken broth right we going to add this in here now you want to keep it under that

Medium high heat right you the reason being cuz we got to get this up to a a simmer and don’t worry about it look like it got a lot of liquid in there cuz we going to add everything to the pot we you notice I didn’t do nothing to the

Macaroni elbows right so just stay with me folks but what I want to do is get this back up to a you know to a good simmer so let me look we still at that medium high let’s go okay so if you look at it right now now it’s starting to

Simmer right so now you want to go ahead and this is what’s cool about this we didn’t have to make nothing Al Dente in another pot when I say one pot this is true to the game right so we’ll just add a macaroni noodles in and listen we just

Going to give this a stir now number one thing you guys going to say is like how long I’m going to say it takes about 10 minutes but what we want to do is we want these noodles to become our Dente inside it as just think all of the

Flavor and everything is going to be absorbed in your macaroni and this right here is going to be fire it’s going to absorb a lot L of this liquid in here but this right here is real flavor so I’m going to say about 10 minutes then

We want to check it you guys know what Al Dente is by now and if you don’t know you just want it to be it’s almost like a par cook you know I mean you want it to be almost there but not quite there you know why cuz when we turn it off

It’s going to continue to cook so I’mma to check mine at 10 minutes at a medium high heat folks make sure it simmers the whole continue the whole complete time I should have said this too I like to stir mine make sure nothing Burns under the bottom I love having these bamboo or

Wooden you know UT right here with the square Edge it allows me to run this right off the bottom you guys can feel if it’s doing anything but this right here is right now I’m going to take me a spoon see if I can capture this I just

Turned my fire off I just want to let you know when I say Al Dente but you guys aren’t going to be able to see how much pressure I put on this but if I take it like this oh yeah this is right you know what I mean uh so my noodles is

Right right and then just for good measure let do it like this it’s spot on folks now this is all off right now I’m going to take my cheese and look I use a Mexican blend you know what I mean love that Mexican blend right and then what

You want to do is you want to let the heat the residual heat just make it mix now if you guys want to make it a little bit Fuller a little bit more creamier or something like that you can add yourself some sour cream to it you know I like to

Reserve a little bit more I have some more so I’m going put that on top but look at this right here look at how oh my goodness I think it’ll take a little bit more but look at that you see that right there m and that there folks is a budget

Friendly meal chili M okay folks after looking at this I can tell you right now it’s already fire I didn’t already ate it but I’ll eat some you know on here for you guys look don’t forget I told you guys can add some uh sour cream to

It too you know what I mean and listen I would probably do that if I left the cayenne pepper you know what I mean in case you guys got some kids because they do have a little bit of on the back end you can feel the heat after but while

You eating it it’s pretty good to me you know what I mean but if you want to you can just you know leave that out hey I’m not going to over talking no more check it out cheers this right here right this right here is right like I said you

Can omit to uh the cayenne pepper you know what I mean uh but try it just put a little bit maybe go with a half a teaspoon see how you like it right now I’m going be honest with you this right here will feed eight people you know

What I mean uh six people if everybody got them big hearty bowls lot of times you guys see when I plate I’m using bigger bowls but this right here look at this I’ll hold it next to me so you guys can see this a nice hearty Bowl right so

Only thing missing is like a dollop of sour cream and a cornbread muffin H now with that being said listen if you’re new to my channel don’t forget to like smash that subscribe button and tell everybody out here listen there’s a channel out here to simplifying these
