If we can not access a recipe from this website, because it’s in the 5 dollar dinner cook book exclusively, then it should not be on the recipe list on this website. It;s not cool to see a recipe then click on it, then sorry it’s an cook book exclusive.

This must be a U.S. receipe. Haven’t seen beef at that price for many a long year here in Canada. Isn’t possible to make this meal for $5.00 where I live. I envy you.

You must be using the fattiest ground beef available, which is not healthy. I only use 93% lean ground beef, and it’s never that cheap. I’ve lived in several parts of the country so it’s not a regional thing.

Ground beef with a higher fat content is actually less economical than leaner beef because there is more waste.

It would be great if you could post nutritional information for your recipes. With the high rates of obesity in this country, this is very important. You can be frugal and healthy if you use the right ingredients.

I posted my goulash recipe in my blog. It is cheap (can't estimate it's dollar value, but I didn't use any costly ingredients). Check it here and leave your comments.

Yes, larger family or family with older kids certainly need to add to the recipes

This was great! My family is on a strict dairy free Casein Free diet. A friend found your website and sent me to it. This recipe is the first I tried. Not quite enough for my family of five – next time I will double it and my oldest can take it to school.
Thanks for the recipe.

When you say you use rice milk instead of sour cream, do you add lemon or vinegar to get the sour or acidic flavor and do you add any thickener to it or reduce the amount since rice milk is so thin?

Looks yummy! Does the rice milk change the flavor a lot or is it not that noticeable? Thanks!

I think frozen veggies are the way to go–especially when they go on sale and you can stock up on things like chopped onions and bell peppers. What a time saver and the nutritional quality is the same or better than fresh produce in the winter….
