2 cans of cut, sliced, or whole Green Beans (on sale) $1.50
1 can Spaghetti Sauce ($0.99 cent store) $1.00
1 lb Hamburger Meat (On sale for $2.50/lb) $2.50
Total $5.00
This is a GREAT Low Carb meal for your family. Add some carbs for $1.00 more by tossing with pasta of your choice (as shown in picture).
In a large skillet brown the Hamburger meat.
While the Hamburger is cooking pour both cans of green beans into a pot (with juices from can) and let simmer over medium heat. Cut green beans have the least amount of 'green bean flavor' but not as good of texture. If you like green beans like we do (and you aren't trying to hide them or their flavor) I suggest cut or even better whole green beans.
Once Hamburger is fully cooked add the can of spaghetti sauce and any additional seasoning you may want. If you like mild flavor the sauce should be fine as is. We like a little more punch to ours so we add some garlic powder or minced garlic (big jars of minced garlic can be found at the $0.99 cent store!) and some black pepper.
Let hamburger and sauce simmer on low for about 10 minutes. While this is simmering remove green beans from stove and drain all juice. Pile green beans onto each plate (like you would spaghetti noodles).
After hamburger and sauce are done simmering top green bean with sauce and enjoy! This does a great job of masking the flavor of the green bean so even my kids will eat it.
