I would suggest that israelis know how to Israel budget - lots of veg. Get away from the 3 dish plate and try casseroles, soups and salads. Also all of the balast (pasta and bread) just leaves you feeling bored.
Curry with ground meat, chicken or gulash.
Chili con carne
Chef salad (tuna, cheese or soy) with yogurt cucumber or other cold soup
Veal parmagiana made with tivoll shnitzel (my kids absolute favorite) and green salad
Soup and kugel/quiche
Stir fry
Chunky whole meal soup (like beef stew, chicken and veg or fish soup)
Corn, mushroom or other creamy soup
Soup in a mug with sandwhiches, borekas, fries, cut veg or other eat in your hand. (dh & my favorite together). Very little mess.
Filled pancakes/blintz leaves/wraps/tortillas
Chunky veg soup with couscous
Lasagna with eggplant or zucchini instead of noodles
In the winter we eat oatmeal for supper instead of breakfast - just no time. We put Silan on it, yummmm.
Frittata, scrambled eggs,shakshuka
Make patties from the soup chicken, lots of onion, carrot and zucchini ground in
Ground fish/tuna patties
Veggie or cheese latkes
Bakala fillet baked or fried
Shepherds pie
Pizza
Stuffed cabbage or peppers
Kuba and soup
Ground meat can also be spiced properly to make homemade kebabim or sausage
Various bean bakes with or without a small amount of meat
Huge baked potato with cheese otr meat sauce, mushrooms, onions, etc and salad. My boys will sometimes put 3-4 potatos greased in the microwave - per person! When its done they add butter, salt and sometimes shamenet.

But the budget per se can be anything from Rotshchild to "almost nothing to spend"...

I make hamburgers,meatballs,chilli, sweet pot sheapards pie, meatloaf etc
Also sometimes I get these meat sticks (made out of chicken) I buy them at shefa shuk they are 12 shekel a pack. I grill them on our indoor grill and serve with fried onions and salad. DH loves them |
How do you make sweet potato shepherds pie? |
I got it from this site. I think it was Greeneye's recipe. Do a search, if you can't find it, I can type it out (I don't know how to link to other threads otherwise I would search for you) Its delish |
Thanks! I found it!

It's true that there is more poverty especially among the frum than in many other places. But BH not always.

Salami In Honey Mustard Sauce
Cut a salami (or part of one) into rounds. Slather with a lot of honey and mustard on both sides of each round. Bake in a medium oven about 20 minutes. Serve hot on fresh rolls with baked beans, sauerkraut with a good hechsher and ketchup.
A scrumptious cheap and filling protein meal!
From a friend of a friend.

mmmm, sounds yummy! can you post the receipe?
Another great cheap meal is called poor man's meal (from the depression). Here's a link to the receipe on youtube: Poor man's meal |
I tried the poor ma's meal last night minus the tomato paste. I added fresh chopped garlic, paprika, a drop of salt and sugar, and some onion powder. It was awesome. All of my kids ate it and enjoyed it.

Curry
I make it in a crock pot but a regular pot is ok.
gulash or chicken pieces (small, separate leg and breast into 2) or ground meat made into meatballs
diced onion, green apple, celery
carrots cut into matchsticks
piece of bell pepper
In the crock pot throw it all in and add olive oil, curry, salt and pepper.
In a regular pot fry the onions, add the meat and veg and spices and cover until done
Sorry but I taste instead of measuring
Zucchini lasagna
Slice zucchinis long w/o peeling
Layer zucchini, spaghetti sauce (mine is homemade with fried onions, mushrooms) and grated cheese (you can mix according to taste yellow, mozzarella or bulgari) until your pan is full and the top is covered with cheese.
Bakes equally well in oven or microwave
Eggplant can be used as well

Our favorite is vegetarian hummus gulash - with fried onions, garlic, carrots and tomatoes. Use tomato paste for the rich sauce. Use spices generously, both fresh and dried. (chopped fresh parsley or coriander, dried oregano etc.)
We also make ground turkey pashtida, with lot of vegetables - onions, shredded sweet potatoes and carrots, spiced with fresh parsley, curcuma and dried coriander. Add old bread and few eggs to this meat-vegetables mixture. You can add hazereth and pickled lemons. Bake it 1 h.
It is very yummy and on a budget.
