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!
Quoting: we're poor! 79330195 Might want to cancel your internet instead of cutting into your food budget. That said... Whole chickens you can stretch into 3 or 4 meals and only cost like 1.50 a pound cause you aren't paying for butchering. Bake it. Meal 1. Seperate leftover meat chunks from base carcass (including wings and drumsticks the kids eat.) Save all. Meal 2 is whatever you want to do with the leftover meat chunks. Don't use all. Say chicken fried rice for example. Meal 3 is soup/stew made from carcass/bones. Be sure to save some of the broth. Chicken and dumplings is a good example. Meal 4 is whatever you want to make from broth and meat leftovers. Example here is chicken casserole.
