[quote:Anonymous Coward 78953514:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDE1ODc0XzRGOEFCQ0Y3] Some of my ideas.. Pea Soup with carrots Stuffed shells. I buy the box of shells and use ricotta and egg, spices, cheese and stuff and use half for one meal and freeze the rest for another meal You can sub zuchini and blacks beans and rice, for meat in enchiladas and bake them or freeze Baked ziti Veggie pot pies Stir fried veggies with rice or lo mein Oven roasted broccoli or cauliflower(use olive oil and sea salt) over angel hair with garlic bread Tuna in the packets isnt to pricey and remember chunk light actually has less mercury..on romaine lettuce with other veggies and some oil and vinegar A bag of pepperoni isnt to pricey, use to make antipasta salad with garlic bread on the side Also pizza dough can make what we call garbage bread with pepperoni, cheese or brocc and cheese..whatever you can stuff in it..

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!
