We just bought a piece of property that has two very large areas of steep hillsides. Looking for an inexpensive way to create erosion control.

Planting shrubs, trees and ground cover are surefire ways to help with erosion. What zone are you in?
I put small limbs on the hillside until the grass grew enough to hold the soil.
Consider where heavy rains will go and provide them a path of least resistance: maybe a dry stream bed look, with big rocks and gravel in it.
We’re going to continue to see more extreme weather, globally, and planning for flooding is a good idea.,
My brother has a lot of trouble with this at his house and he has planted some gardens in this area and it has helped a lot. You could also get some landscaping done (or do it yourself) to break up the hill a bit, more into garden 'steps'.
