The Baked Potato
I like my mother before me survive each and every day with a baked potato. It is very cheap and filling. It also doesn't take a long time to make! It has dairy (cheese), Protein (ham), Starches ( the potato), and fats (the butter). And depending on how much you add to it the calories may vary.
In this particular recipe you will need a Potato. Potatoes normally cost about 3 dollars per ten pounds. I would wash the potato and then poke a few holes in it so that the heat moves through the potato more evenly. I throw it in the microwave for about 3-5 minute with a cup of water to keep the moisture present. Then when I take it out I mash it up and throw on about a hand full of cheese and two slices of bacon a spoonful of sour cream and little butter with salt and pepper.
IF you want some more nutrients and healthy stuff you can add steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots. Or all three if you feel inclined. Sometimes I enjoy salsa on it:)
