Savory oatmeal is a delicious, hearty, and inexpensive meal that can be customized to use ingredients you have on hand.

Ingredients
1 clove garlic, minced ($0.08)
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger ($0.08)
4 mushrooms ($0.75)
1 tsp butter ($0.06)
1 cup vegetable broth ($0.09)
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ($0.27)
1/2 cup spinach ($0.14)
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil ($0.04)
Instructions
1 Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the mushrooms.
2 Add the butter, garlic, and ginger to a small saucepot. Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
3 Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for a few minutes more, or until the mushrooms have wilted a bit.
4 Add the vegetable broth to the saucepot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil.
5 When the broth reaches a boil, add the rolled oats and stir to combine. Allow it to return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Let the oats simmer for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
6 While the oats are simmering, roughly chop the spinach. Stir the spinach into the thickened oats, along with the toasted sesame oil.
7 Taste and add salt to your liking, if needed, then top it off with your favorite toppings. Serve hot!
