Hi,
Sorry to hear about the job loss, been there many times and you'll get be ok. We always seem to!
How about stuffed cabbage? A head of cabbage (especially if you have a fruit/vegetable or farmers market), is inexpensive. I've stuffed cabbage, peppers, squash and tomatoes - if it's stuffable, I've stuffed it!
How about soup? My Mom used to make what she called "campfire" stew, and she'd make a big pot at a time. She'd use for her base a couple or more cans of vegetable soup, and then add other veggies in there, while browning the hamburger. Once the burger was browned, she just added it, let it cook awhile to get the flavors all in and the other veggies cooked. You can add potatoes to it or rice or any kind of soup noodles you like. Pretty much whatever's on hand.
The other thing that we have a lot and it is at least as cheap in price as burger is chicken and you can do lots of stuff with that, if you like it. Or, a turkey breast? That way you'd have leftovers for other dishes and/or sandwiches.
Hang in there, it'll get better and in the meantime, you'll have learned a ton of recipes you love!
