People Share Their Favorite Poverty Meals They Still Enjoy Today (19 Pics)

We weren’t poor growing up, but we weren’t exactly rolling in it. I was raised by a single mom so dinner needed to be fast and cheap. One of my favorite poverty meals was goulash. Our version of this was mashed potatoes, hamburger, a can of beans, and a can of corn. If we were feeling extra fancy we’d throw some gravy in there. A giant pot of that and you can eat it all week. Mmmm.
