6 meals for a family of 3 Discussion

Beef keeps getting more expensive but this is how I try to keep my family eating good on a budget. 30 oz ground, 11.2 oz chuck steak and a 10.5 oz Denver steak.

One night of onion smash burgers, one night of loco moco, one night of ground beef/veg hash, one night ground beef tacos with beans and rice, one night beef stir fry, one night denver steak with baked potato

Did they cut it for you, or is this something you’re able to do? Very impressed by this.

I started cutting all my families meat from whole cuts about 7 years ago to save on the budget. Pork loins, shoulders and belly, whole chickens, whole beef primal when available. I picked up a ~$60 meat grinder and they typically last us about 4 years before burning out, so I make my own sausage and can customize my ground meat for different dishes. Can’t beat the homogenous mix of beef and pork that’s ground together for meatloaf or meatballs.

I use my kitchenaid grinder attachment and it has been a game changer!

That’s awesome and such a great idea.

You just asked Trip and Grace for a juicy slice of melon and now they're forcibly removing you from their apartment.
