This is more on the side of easy than cheap, but easy, totally delicious and kinda cheap is still a great option in my humble opinion. I’ve made this with both goat cheese and gorgonzola and if you’ve never tried goat cheese you might want to give it a shot. But if you’re a blue cheese fan and you know it go for the gorgonzola.

These are really, really good. I haven’t seen a recipe for enchiladas that’s really like this one so I felt it was really worth sharing. I had been having a hard time finding a good sale on cheese until just this last week so I can affordably add this one back to the menu. If you are paying a lot for cheese in your part of the world, you can stretch this a little by adding beans. It still works out to being cheaper than takeout pizza or even the drive-thru. I have made these with both flour and cornmeal tortillas and both are dandy. Go with your preference. I like to serve this with a nice, crisp salad. Nothing else is needed, these are very filling.

I wish I could make this harder for you, but it’s not going to happen. My apologies. I make this whenever I have leftover spaghetti or some kind of thin stringed pasta. You know that horrible stuff that sticks together in the fridge when you try to save it. It’s a humble kind of dish, but comforting and tasty. Read more

And you thought the onslought of vegetables would never end. This is a three ingredient recipe if you don’t count the salt and pepper. Try making something this delicious with so few ingredients again. Doesn’t happen that often, although cheese is the ultimate flavor enhancement. If you can’t find the flavored feta, you can add basil and sun-dried tomatoes yourself. Or go an easier route and use a cheese like mozzarella and season yourself. Obvious, but wait until chicken breasts are on sale to make this and stock up. Read more

You can eat these like a burger, but my favorite way is just plain on a plate with some sour cream. Beans are hard to ignore if you’re looking for cheap and easy. You can also change the type of bean if you are not a fan of black beans. Pinto would be nice, but I’m not sure northern whites would work in this particular recipe. Give this one a try and see if you don’t love them too! Read more

Continuing with the cheese theme (something I never get tired of personally:) is this fun recipe that I also found in Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone. I serve these for entertaining and around the holidays. In my family we don’t do a big Christmas Eve dinner. We have hor dourves and drinks and I make these to avoid mutiny. Read more
