Texas Hash – Cheap Dinner

Texas hash is one of the cheapest dinners my grandma taught me to make using her church cookbook. This easy weeknight dinner recipe uses cheap ingredients to create a spectacular meal.

 

Texas Hash – Cheap Dinner

This recipe came out of one of my grandma’s church cookbooks. These are cookbooks that I treasure with my whole heart. And even though this recipe does not come from my family, it comes from a sweet Christian lady, named Bobbie Dupuy, and to me that’s still exciting!

I am since then passed on the cookbook to another home. I wish so badly I would have snagged a picture to share with you. My grandma remembers Bobbie Dupuy, but wasn’t close to her. This recipe though, is cheap and a fabulous addition to our recipe keeper.

 


The only big changes I made was that I doubled the rice and liquid. I knew ½ cup rice was not enough. So I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as my family did. It really is easy and delicious!

Cost Breakdown to make Texas hash:

  • Ground turkey or beef – $2.50
  • Rice, 1 pound – $1.00
  • Canned tomatoes – $.50
  • Canned Rotel, store brand – $.50
  • Onion – $.50

Total cost: $5.00 to make Texas Hash. The cost for the seasonings is not included since I already had them on hand.

Half of us had gluten-free bread, and the other half is wheat bread. I simple toasted it and added jelly. We also paired the dish with a simple bag of frozen, steamed green beans. This meal is filling and delicious. The leftovers are great too!
