[quote:Proud Trump Supporter:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDE1ODQ1XzEzQTBERkEy] We rarely eat beef and substitute it with turkey for Lasagna, meat loaf, Chili, meat patties, etc.. Ratatouille is delicious made with 1 Eggplant, 3-4 zucchini, 1 onion, tomato sauce with pepper jack cheese. It's a French dish. https://cookieandkate.com/best-ratatouille-recipe/ Another favorite is Mac and cheese with a can of tuna fish and frozen peas. Lintels and black beans in chicken broth with a hand full of coconut is tasty.

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!
