Cheap ways to make cheap food taste better?

Post ideas on ways to make cheap (and lower on the calorie scale is nice) food taste better.  Stuff like Ramen, rice..  things like that.

I sometimes make a normal package of Maruchan ramen and drop spoonfuls of white rice in.

Another one I do is put loads of Tabasco Chipotle sauce on a BocaBurger.

Please post your ideas!

Spices. Specialty blends like steakhouse pepper and cajun if you can. Other options include adding vegetables or rice since both those ingredients are cheap (mostly to existing soups. alternatively, stir frying vegetables in diluted boullion is a cheap and easy way to add flavor to them when short on ingredients). Toasting bread and adding it to ground meat makes for good filler with moisture retention and makes for a cheaper serving too.
