Ain’t nothing wrong with this meal.

Looks delish

I still eat this dude

Looks delicious!!! I just had sausage and rice for dinner.

Yes. Looks delicious. I know it’s kind of embarrassing but if you’re struggling to get food, maybe look into signing up for a food bank you get a bunch of food for free and I’m pretty sure they’ll deliver it to you for free

I have this all the time. Jambalaya mix and smoked sausage.

I buy jalapeño cheddar sausages. Johnsonville, and cut them up in all those knorr rices. LOVE IT

Level it up with a pack of frozen mixed veg. Honestly I’ve had way worse meals at so-called fancy restaurants.

Damn I just went to bed....now I'm hungry!

Looks like a Tuesday night

Throw some sauteed onion and bell pepper on there and that's a gourmet meal 

Yummy in the tummy. 🥰

One of my fav comfort foods.

My guy that shit looks like it slaps enough to go back for 2nds, let alone if I’m baked lmao

Looks good!

That’s a fine meal you got right there :D

🤤🤤. I want a plate 🍽️

Top tier struggle meal. Me and my husband do this a lot.

Good guys basic jambalaya! Expert level.

Love this! Hearty and delicious 😋

Throw some hot sauce on this and this looks damn good. Sausage and rice, can’t go wrong

Add in a bag of mixed vegetables, and this would be a better meal than it already is.

Excellent Recipe!

I'd eat the fuck out of that.

Looks good to me.

That is definitely a good meal

I'd eat that.

A good go to meal.

This looks delish idk what you're talking about lol

Food is fuel. No need to worship it with the lemmings. Looks like a solid meal.

learn to make jambalaya

Roasted potatoes, sautéed onions and melted sharp cheddar would be better than that rice. That’s what I had for supper tonight. Kielbasa potato bake is one of my favorite dishes.

Is it a struggle with seasoning

Thank you everyone! I appreciate it. This is some microwave uncle Ben’s red beans and rice. Then some spicy beef johnsonville hot dogs.

I think it only sucks cuz you dont have a choice. I have a choice and this shit look fire cuh

Sending you strength hope you get through whatever you got going on

Is that uncle Ben's?

Better times Indeed, hang on, assistance is in route, God Bless 🙌

This aint a struggle meal my friend :) Or maybe i'm just living wrong

Heck I would eat that

That shit looks good! One of my favorite meals. Usually enough for 2 if not 3 meals. And it's good!

Better times ahead is a great attitude. Looks good. Eat some veggies or fruit when you can.

I’m Puerto Rican and this looks like arroz con salchichas, which is delicious

Life's hard. This is nothing and shug it off

Looks scrumptious

Yeah budget but I would smash that tasty looking plate of grub ✌️🙏

This looks fire

Craving for this

Add a sautéed onion and some sour cream. I crush that all the time

That looks pretty good.

The hell you mean that is the better times😂

Struggle where!? This is top tier. Some nice beef polish sausage and some of that uncle Ben’s packet rice that you can toss in the skillet 10$ or less meals be hitting!

Bro.... that's called jambalaya in Louisiana. You eating good

May you have a prosperous new year! I would eat this though. Just FYI.

Add some seasoned black beans 👌🏼

I'm sorry, what is this meal?

I'm interested.

Had sausage Red beans and rice tonight. Good times are now!

Little hot sauce, little cheese... That's peam

That box of Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix and smoked sausage is a solid $5 meal.

I make variations of this frequently. Just add a veggie and it’s perfect!

I want some. 2 servings please.

There were plenty of times I was happy to have that right there.

Sometimes I still make it, and it still tastes good now as it did then.

As long as I don’t have eat it more than two days in a row.

Add a little shredded cheese on top…. Shiiiidddd bone apple tea 😋

Looks good to me.

I’m stoned and want to eat the fuck out of that

That doesn't even look bad tho

With some tobasco ? Yes please!

Ay slide me a plate, bro.

Haha any man on this sub, would tear that up

I'd eat this. With a Coke zero. And some rum.

Classic prison spread which i still have for comfort food time to time

Whats better than hotdogs

The rice alone looks expensive

S-Bar Bologna is cheaper. Dice it into small squares and fry it and add it to rice and beans.

Rice + protein = great low budget meal. I eat rice and lentils all the time. Otherwise, rice, beans, and kielbasa make a great dish, esp with diced tomatoes and corn

Had that on Christmas eve for dinner with some beans. It was good 👍

How far ahead, is ahead? No rush, though... cuz I love this schitt!!! [prefer wild rice, though]

Honestly this looks great.

add veggies and beans and u gpt a decent meal

Actually, this looks quite nice! I hope you are found in better times soon. But remember that your creativity and resourcefulness made for some nice meals, like this one.

ZATARANS

You can get ground turkey for about A dollar more per pound and infinitely more healthy

The most egregious thing is the paper plate.

You've got nutrition and flavor there, you'll be alright. As another commenter said, throw a bag of whatever frozen vegetable you like at it and you even cover balanced.

Keep steady, you're gonna get there.

Looks good to me

My grandma use to make this but with the libbys sausages and with some Spanish style beans on the side that shit was super banging god bless my abuela

Ooh that actually looks good

Yum, I cook this and usually have a thick slice of bread covered in butter to go with it.

This is comfort food to me.

Add some crystal hot sauce and this is delectable meal.

Wish you better times … and maybe you’ll still break out this dish

Damn that looks good 😫 did you use zatarain's rice?

I love making this meal. I add red pepper to it. The only problem is that kosher meat is expensive, so ui don't make it that much.

Reminds me of Jumbalaya. Id smash that

It would be way better (same price) with macaroni, hotdogs and ketchup.

Great meal. Could add ketchup or Sriracha or an egg or a combination

Ngl this look like it fuckin slaps

Struggle meal? Nah

This is fire actually. Need a banana and thats it

Put some frozen veggies in next time. They're cheap and if you buy store brand, they're super cheap.

Save me a bowl

Looks good. Bless ✨

That's just jambalaya without shrimp. Nothing wrong at all.

Now I’m fucking hungry again…..

I do this a lot. Usually I add broccoli or peas and onions and do a quick soy sauce, hot sauce, sugar and corn starch sauce for the dogs and veg.

Been there done that!! 🙏🏻Add soy sauce and Ramen!

Im not even that baked and I would eat all of this

How did you make the rice?

Add a can of crushed stewed tomatoes

Looks good!!!!

That is comfort food. Better times ahead better include this meal many times over.

Um.. yum

I'd attack that rn

Amazing meal. When I started making this I knew I was on the come up financially. Ain’t nothing wrong with this delicacy

Nothing wrong with that

This too shall pass. Maybe not the rice and sausage

I make 120k a year i still eat kielbasa and rice almost weekly

I’ll trade you that for my oatmeal and banana meal.

Now you’re talking

A little French bread and some hot sauce, now thats some good eatin

Nah this slaps

Ngl that shit looks delicious

I'd love this right now. I have mustard in my fridge

That looks like a luxury

Try it with some Sriracha. You won't regret it.

damn.. that looks good as hell. little hot sauce and done

That’s a 5 star dinner

That looks good and filling.

Wait till you find out about jambalaya

Food is food. I’ve had some great meals and bad ones. Stay alive and try to be healthy when you can.

I'll take 3 plates if this

Id eat this on my best of days, friend

Nothing wrong with this meal .

shiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt... Good times are right now. Gimme some!!!

It’s almost jambalaya. 👨🏻‍🍳

If those are beef franks then ain't nothing struggle about this🤣 but i eat this combo regardless

Yum! Pass the hot sauce, thanks!

Mm childhood!!!

man what I’ll fuck this up RIGHT NOW ! shiiii

That is some good eating right there!!!

In my opinion Andouille smoked sausage and Cajun rice ain't bad at all. If thats a struggle meal, youve never really struggled. The rice without the meat is struggling...

Literally me but w/ramen noodles instead

I’d order that in a restaurant if it was on the menu.

I'd eat it

Get your whining ass out of here…

That looks good though

That looks amazing 😍

not too bad at all! just add some hot sauce or ketchup maybe a tortilla for a lazy burrito

Honestly this looks good- if you have extra funds I would add chopped veggies but that’s it

Red Beans & Rice with Sausage

That's... As good as it gets, brudda

Stomach fuel indeed

Struggle? I eat that every week 😂

Now, that's a meal!

I’d 100% eat that.

This is a very good meal. Enjoy it.

Crack an egg and make weenie fried rice

That looks delicious honestly.

That reminds me, I used to love eating cut up hotdogs and mix it in with kraut and heat it up in skillet and have cornbread on the side.

I make this dish, or a similar one, at least once a week. To me there is nothing “hard times” about it. If I want it fancy, I add some frozen mixed vegetables.

Wait, so these are what people are eating when they're struggling? People in the west are spoiled!

I make this all the time with extra struggle. I put shrimp in it too.

That looks delicious...

I'd smash.

I would tear this UP what subreddit was this again????

I wanna eat that bad

What’s wrong with it? I eat this all the time just usually add onions and peppers.

Struggle meals are some of the best meals there are!

That looks filling. Remember, the times don't get better; it's how we react to those times that make our days.

Gas

Looks like a regular old meal to me.

This looks great actually, a side salad would make it perfect, but nothing wrong as it is. Best of lucks OP.

I would crush this

Toss in a few scrambled eggs and some green onions and that's breakfast lunch and dinner

That is the better time

Go to chipotle & find receipts on the ground, use the points for free food rinse & repeat works for other places too especially Qdoba

Nothing wrong with that plate! Another good one is putting a can of tune in mac and cheese.

This is a typical night at my house lol

This only a struggle cause u cooked it sad lol

I see nothing wrong with this. We grew up on hot dogs in jelly. Could always be worse, man.

I’d most definitely eat this
