I tend to buy more ground beef right now than any other meat from the butcher block as it is cheaper to buy and can be a great substitution in just about every recipe.
If you are looking for easy ground beef meals then look no further.
If I’m having on of those lazy, I don’t want to cook nights and take out isn’t an option.
I add 1lb of ground beef to 2 boxes of Mac-n-Cheese and mix then add a vegetable from the pantry and something yummy for dessert and whola dinner is done in about 15 minutes, cost less than $3.00 to make.
The kids are in heaven as any meal that includes Mac-n-Cheese is a winner in our house.
I also substitute ground beef for steak in enchiladas, Chile Verde and most of the Mexican dishes I prepare as steak is just too expensive right now.
So if your on a budget but need some fresh cheap meal ideas/recipes, you can use ground beef as a substitution and create easy delicious meals in minutes at a fraction of the cost.
As much as we would all love a big fat steak dinner you are right steak is way too expensive right now. I too tend to buy more hamburger then anything else right now. Can’t wait to try this tonight and see if it gets the family approval. I am not worried though as my kids are the same when it comes to mac and cheese. Thanks can’t wait to see what comes up next…
My husband would always prefer steak over ground beef but with the price of food we are in the same boat – ground beef wins!! If you have any ground beef meal ideas I would love to hear them!
