    It’s time for another version of “what to make when.”  Every several weeks ground beef, ground chuck and ground round will go on sale, ranging from $1.49/lb to $2.99/lb…depending on the type.  I prefer ground chuck and stock up when it’s on sale for $1.99/lb, but will also pick up ground beef when it hits the $1.49/lb sale mark.  Ground round doesn’t usually go on sale for less than $2.99/lb and I can’t get that into my $75/week budget very often!

    A couple of ideas for you…(And not tacos, spaghetti or meatloaf!)

    • Bachelor Stew
    • Beef and Black Bean Burritos
    • Lasagna Roll-Ups
    • Simple Moussaka
    • Heat n Sweet Chili

    There you have it!  A few new options for when you get that perfect price for ground beef!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5.
    It’s a fun challenge,
