Planning a meal during hard times is quite tough because there are a lot of things that you have to consider, especially the budget. But eating on a budget doesn’t have to be bland or simple because you can still make an amazing meal for dinner without having to spend too much on the ingredients. All you have to do is check whatever leftovers you have in your kitchen or fridge and use all of that to make a one-pot dish that you can share with your family.

- Granulated onion
- Granulated garlic
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Cheese, any kind
*You can add any seasonings or other leftover ingredients that you want
Directions:
Step 1
Place a large pot on a stove over medium-high heat, then fill it with water, and sprinkle some salt. Bring it to a boil, then add the pasta, and cook them to desired doneness or according to the package instructions. Make sure to stir them around so that they don’t stick together, then once done cooking, drain off all the water, and transfer the pasta to a bowl setting it aside for later. After pouring out all of the pasta water from the pot, put the pot back on the stove over medium heat, then add the add canned beans followed by the chopped bell pepper and onion, and add other leftover veggies or meat that you want.

Season them with granulated onion, granulated garlic, black pepper, salt, and other seasonings that you want to use, then add them to taste, and give them a good mix until combined.
