You can't beat the fabled Impossible Pie for a budget-friendly dish. It can be as sinful or virtuous as you like. Here's a veggie version:
Bisquick Crustless Quiche
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter or spray a 9 or 10 inch pie plate
In a skillet, saute vegetables of your choice in a little oil.
In a 4 cup measuring cup . . .
Beat 3 large farm fresh eggs.
Add 1/2 cup bisquick.
Add 1 1/2 cups milk.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
In the pie plate, put your veggies, then 1 1/2 cups cheese of your choice.
Pour the bisquick, milk and egg mixture on top.
Bake for 50 minutes.

If you feel suspicious about Bisquick (I know I do), just make your own mix:
Homemade Bisquick Mix
adapted from allrecipes
* 5 cups flour
* 1/4 cup baking powder
* 2 Tbsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1 cup butter or margarine
1. Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
2. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks or in the freezer for longer storage.
Makes approx: 6 cups

These Impossible Pies will accommodate virtually any mix of veggies, meats, cheeses, and spices. They are great for leftovers (very thrifty). You can sub broth for the milk for a different and lower calorie version.
A slice of Impossible Pie with a big salad is a good dinner and the leftovers pack up wonderfully for lunch at work or school - no reheating needed. :)

I hope so. These savory pies actually taste a lot better than people think they will. It's all in the seasoning. ;)

Why are you suspicious of Bisquick?

It uses hydrogenated oil (trans fat). I have no problem with real fats, including lard and duck fat, but I draw the line at hydrogenated fats. The homemade kind functions exactly the same as the boxed mix but you need to keep it in the freezer. This is no problem since it doesn't need thawing at all.Why are you suspicious of Bisquick?

When are you going to start baking your own bread ?Once you get over the initial fears it's easy !

We have a few family recipes that have been passed down from the depression - and generally they are pretty tasty :) The only one I have NEVER liked was macaroni tomatoes and bacon . . . ICK. What a horrible way to treat bacon! :(

Ah gotcha on the Bisquick.
I never use it, so was just curious what was wrong with it.
