Hearty tasty and cheap [/quote] Yes! I was getting ready to add lentils to the list. They are such a versatile food. Can add them to spaghetti sauce to make a faux meat sauce, an asian inspired entree and put over rice, add canned chicken to them and mexican spices for quesadillas, etc. There are a lot of great recipes of lentils online. They are packed with protein. [/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!
