@Grin I made rice on Monday and am going to fry up the leftovers on Friday. Also, homemade bean & cheese burritos are good. Other than that, I do pasta and instant noodles regularly.

Would love more ideas for dinners. Especially budget-friendly ideas!

@Grin I'm on a very tight budget, myself!

Another recipe I enjoy is "Mini-Shepherds' Pies". Cook up some ground meat on a skillet with some onion (and/or desired veggies - I also add corn, green beans, and diced carrots), divide it in a cupcake pan. Add cheese, top with mashed potatoes. I usually put it in the oven at 450° for a few minutes to help the cheese melt.

For one person, it yields enough leftovers for a couple weeks.

Found it on a "Meal plan for under $20" blog post.
