[/quote] :thatstrue: roasts vs steaks I choose roasts every time skip putting the sausage in the sauces save them for slicing onto your pizza for home made pasta sauce cook regular ground beef and your own spices don't drain it then you don't need to add oil to the sauce choose lean or extra lean ground beef for burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, etc. regular is fine for chili and pasta etc. sauces because you use all of it don't be afraid of the beef fat from the ground beef a pound of regular ground is a max. of 5oz of fat when it goes into a half gallon or more of chili or pasta sauce it's not a lot also keep watch for sell by \reduced for quick sale/ tags 10 20 %30 or more off of the tagged price they usually have today's or tomorrow's date that's why they're reduced I only buy meat when it's tagged because it's going straight into the freezer or prepared the same day [/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!
