What can be known as poor man's meat?

Answer 1

The "Poor Man's Meat", as it turns out…isn't meat at all.

The "Poor Man's Meat" is basically dry beans

I don't know who first called dry beans the poor man's meat, but today they are also the rich man's meat, as many people take advantage of their rich content of proteins as a way to eat less meat or no meat. Technically, edible dry beans like the soybean and the navy bean are legumes, not grains, as everyone knows, but they belong in this book because growing them is much like growing grains, and the two make great partners both in crop rotations and in our diets.

Answer 2

I think it would be hamburger (Salisbury) steak, usually prepared with mushrooms, onions and gravy.
