[quote:Anonymous Coward 75425261:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDEyMTAxX0UyQTdERDg5] MEXICAN CASSEROLE 1 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained 1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 cup sour cream 1 cup picante sauce or salsa 2 cups shredded cheddar or colby jack. 1 10 oz can rotel tomatoes and green chilies 2 cups cooked rice** 1 lb ground beef browned, drained, and mixed with your favorite taco seasoning 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 cup shredded cheese for topping **Cook rice in instant pot - combine 1 can chicken broth, 1 cup rice, and the rotel tomatoes. Use the rice setting. Use natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release, or combine the 3 ingredients and simmer for 20-25 minutes. This rice makes an excellent side dish for other meats, too. Mix cooked rice and all other ingredients together except the cheese for topping. Spoon into a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. Absolutely delicious and is a family favorite. [/quote]

Ok so our grocery budget has been cut in half, and prices keep going up.
I need ideas and recipes for making meat stretch for a family.
We already do soups, stews and chili. Great budget meals!
I've recently added fried rice to the meal rotation, fantastic way to make a lot of food with very little. Plus my kids love it.
You can also stretch a 1lb package of Italian sausage into several meals: take half and mix into pasta sauce for spaghetti, freeze the other half to use for homemade pizza.
Any other ideas from you good folks would be sincerely appreciated!
