I get three meals from one pound of meat for two people. The first night I may fix stuffed bell peppers (which we grew and froze) adding 1/4 c gluten free oats and 1/2 c cooked brown rice--all organic to the ground beef /meat mixture, which includes 1 egg, chopped onion celery and onion and maybe a small, hotter pepper, minced carrots, squash, or whatever is on hand, organic tomato sauce, fresh herbs from the garden, cook and serve on a bed of rice, and organic cauliflower, broccoli and any other vegetable growing or frozen.
Second night, I brown the rest of the beef, divide in two portions, add 1 cup medium salsa,herbs and spices to taste, partially bake a pan of cornbread, put hot meat mixture on top, cover with cheese, and finish baking. Serve with avocado and green salad. Third night, I use the remaining meat as a base for soup with lots of vegetables and some kind of beans. Often, we get another meal from the cornbread and soup ( or freeze for another week. I try to be creative and have a nice presentation. We eat organic chicken and wild-caught salmon. The prices encourage thrift, but so much healthier for us and the planet.
