[@reneeallen3569]

The ham flavoring for the beans are best when you put it in the last 15 minutes your beans cook. It doesn’t get cooked away that way.

[@deborahconley2009]

Add a splash of lemon juice and the packet to the beans in the last minute and boom, next level

[@deborahconley2009]

I wonder what it would taste like if we add spam to the beans?

[@reneeallen3569]

@@deborahconley2009 about the same if you added ham

[@jeannedennis5863]

Nothing better than these meals you're doing. Grew up eating like this. I have great northern beans soaking now fir tomorrow.

[@rowddyone3570]

New subscriber here, I love your attitude so positive and always smiling kid reactions are fun.

[@Mary-mh3kh]

Ham & beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread are considered one of the best meals we can have in our house. I often add sliced onion to the potatoes when frying them. I sometimes add barley to the beans when I cook them. My husband grew up eating this meal about once a week. I grew up eating bean soup. Thank you for the meal ideas.

[@heavenlee1965]

wooooo barley pearls is a great idea!

[@catshultz9045]

I love my fried potatoes

[@PeggyParrish-sg1eu]

One of my true soul food meals is beans and cornbread with fresh onion sliced on the side and a dollop of mayonnaise in my beans(learned from daddy)!!yum

[@WomensEntrepreneurNetwork]

Love these recipes. (one thing we do with the cornbread is to put the cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats- then pour the batter into the hot skillet- it makes a nice crust) Thanks!

[@EbonyBruce-z9k]

This reminds me of my childhood when these meals were more like $2 dollars im old lol keep doing this u rock

[@amandagaines1174]

My FAVORITE meal of all time! Soup beans, cornbread, fried taters and Macaroni n tomatoes 😋I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your videos! Family of 5 here, no assistance, yes I go to food banks, get commodities when i can and the rest i have to carefully budget. You have great ideas on cheap meals, so thank you! Things aren't as bad for us as they used to be but we've been there plenty of times and NEVER want to go through that again.

[@thefunfam1433]

What are soup beans?

[@lizzies9419]

Those kids are all so cute! Love watching them taste the meals❤

[@villagesteader3552]

Beans can be your best friend when being frugal! Thank you for the ideas!

[@Bubbles703]

I’ve commented on your $5 meal videos before but idk 🤷🏾‍♀️ if you saw it. You have been a blessing to me for buying food within my budget and making food that is delicious 😋. Thank you so much and please keep the $5 meal videos going.👏🏾

[@EbonyBruce-z9k]

I am sending these recipes to my daughter who is a great at home Mom and she loves to cook for my Grandson but she gets overwhelmed with budget and what he likes. Those pizza rolls are a go too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tracyaf6084]

You are so creative with a budget! I love it❤ My mom was like that. I am trying to be a better budget cook. We don’t eat pork for religious reasons but I feel like any of your recipes would be fine with chicken. Our grocery store has great sales with different chicken parts each week so I just use whatever is on sale.

[@compassion686]

You are just the true definition of a kitchen witch. No offense here. It means you can do anything in the kitchen and it turns out marvelous. I'm just reeling over the Velveeta cheese and cream of mushroom. Never in a million years would I have come up with such a beautiful concoction. Definitely made my day. Thank you !

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you! I’ll take that compliment lol you’d never think that velvetta and cream of mushroom would be good, but by golly it sure is!

[@sabrinabracken9211]

My dad used to put cream of mushroom on our Mac and cheese when I was a kid. It was our “poor man’s meal” and it was amazing

[@andreamills5852]

I love cornbread and milk with fine chopped onions. 😊yummy 😋

[@beefreelady]

Reminds me of when I was a little child after Momma hung out the laundry on Monday. She cooked beans all day on wash day.

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

Im loving that smoked sausage pasta sounds so good! On my list

[@dede.terrebonneterrebonne9914]

Love that you are useing onions onions are cheap and add so much flaver Your meals look so delicious honey. Thanks for Sharing your creations

[@ChristinaLin73]

I love that your children will eat beans, and willing to try your food. They seem to love everything you made.

[@elizabethsmith38]

I love beans...😋

[@dianethoroughman9541]

I don't like mushrooms, so I always use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup. Those potatoes sure looked yummy.

[@pamelarepec8]

Broccoli chicken rice casserole: can use instead rice & equal water or precooked rice. 1 can of chicken or whatever leftover chicken you have. I can of cream of chicken soup, can of water, bag of frozen broccoli, chopped or florets, velveeta cheese & couple teaspoons of butter. Mix all together & bake. My kids loved this, sometimes didn’t even want it baked. Another tip for your crockpot beans or baked beans, add about a tablespoon of dry mustard or save the little pks of Chinese hot mustard packs, this adds a nice little kick to the sweetness. Yummm.

[@janeadams5207]

I love this because we could go right down to the store and snag these items for $20 or…. we could do one each week to lower the budget

[@bthomas50]

Love the simple and cheap recipes. And I really love your cheese grater.

[@evelyngarcia8015]

Love cooking beans in the crockpot it tastes so good speacially when I throw them in before bed and in the morning the house smells so good

[@marywalker1394]

😋all them juices

[@liserjones8465]

It's always a good day when you upload! A random spring onion, a deep freeze crock pot, the boys loving the food and a couple of 'it's fine' thrown in for good measure - love it! x

[@anitamcgrath906]

I was always told not to put salt in beans until they have been soaked and then cooked. Once they are cooked add the salt and seasoning.

[@carolwintx8248]

Thank you for these great videos!

[@talkingcatsproductions1140]

You have the sweetest cute boys. They are just precious 😊

[@annas.r.p.5835]

Due to health reasons I rarely fry anything. I microwave potatoes for 6-8 minutes , brush oil on them then roast them in the oven while the corn bread is baking. I do plan to try the bean product you show as it seems like it will be a flavor change for us. Thanks for your videos they are fun to watch. LOVE SEEING YOUR BOYS.

[@RileySaraa]

Your boys have awesome personalities

[@SauerPatchGardening]

The deep freezer...😂I love you so much. You just leave all the real life in your videos. Sorry you weren't feeling well. But, you sure can't tell it. Still your joyful self.

I love the Hurst Hamm Beans! My absolute favorite!!!

[@nylenyap3933]

The bow tie pasta recipe was so quick, easy and tasty! My family has requested it again and again. Love you and your family Brooke ❤.

[@DollyKauionalani]

I just discovered your channel a few nights ago, and I'm loving it!! I'm in Chattanooga, so I have Publix, Aldi, and Food City. I try and take a minute to look at all of the weekly ads, see what I already have in my kitchen, and plan from there. Publix is pricey, but they have great BOGOs. In most states you can purchase only 1 BOGO item, and then it's only half price. When they's a Publix brand item, sometimes you can get a great quality item for super cheap!

[@mistykeith7896]

Hey neighbor, I'm sure what part of Chattanooga you live in, but the is United Grocery outlet on Highway 58 that you can find some good deals at. Just watch your dates on some of the "fresh" items.

[@DollyKauionalani]

@mistykeith7896 thanks! I will check it out!!

Bean and fried taters are one of my favorite dinners. Add a little bit of picante on the beans and you are golden.

Not only that, but these are great meals for kids who just moved out on their own. You and your family always make me smile, have a blessed day!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

According to Hurst instructions you're supposed to add the seasoning packet in the last couple of minutes of cooking. I always did it while cooking, too, when I first started buying it, but it actually does taste better to add it at the end.

[@sabrinaturner6045]

I make the quesadilla version of the pizza roll ups. The only difference is I take a can of tomato sauce and add Italian seasoning as a dip. I enjoy watching your videos for new ideas.

Hi Brooke !!! You are a breath of fresh air!!!.... thank you so much for your ideas!!!!!❤❤❤

[@tonyanorris6574]

I love all your recipes. I do prefer made from scratch, but not everyone knows how to make everything from scratch, so no big loss. After all, I just make my own from scratch for ex, cream of chicken or mushroom soups instead of the can. But hey, I do keep canned versions in my pantry to make it easy for my husband when I am sick, so I am not die hard against them. You definitely give a great baseline, thank you.

[@aimee2234]

Thank you for the love you put in every video, Brooke! So many people are being helped everyday. And the food looks delicious. God bless you and the Southerland squad always! xoxo

[@BethClay-sk1xl]

❤ now I am hungry for ham beans.

[@martaparsons5633]

My grocery stores are the same. We do not have Engles. I do not like coupons, many times it costs more. I like your menu being based on what you+ actually are buying. I never add salt. Herbs and olive oil. I use bay leaves. I can afford to buy all the groceries I want, however, when I was 15 I began cooking for my family on a very limited budget. I can feed a family of three using 1lb of hamburger and one chicken a week. Fifty five years + later those habits are still with me. Jiffy cake mix and corn muffin mix plus a bag of carrots and 5lb of potatoes is still important.

[@JulieDobbins.76]

If you preheat that iron skillet until the cornbread batter sizzles when you pour it in it will rise more and have such a nice crust on it when it's done! You've made me hungry! This looks and sounds deeeelicious!

[@AuntVickiesCraftCorner]

That’s how I make my cornbread in a piping hot cast iron skillet where it sizzles and starts cooking before I put it in the oven

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I usually do, but I was impatient this day 😂

[@annikanygaard7443]

These look delicious. I'll definitely have to try these. My budget is tight this week and i think all my kids will like all of these especially the pasta

[@kerryborthacyre7726]

[@catshultz9045]

Omg Omg omg I love my cotton pickin cornbread!! I was today years old when I found out that if you buy the pre packaged bags of potatoes, oranges etc…. That you should weigh them because sometimes you can get up to a pound more
