Beef

Image result for beef dinner clipartIf you are on a tighter budget at the moment, let me encourage you that if you still must eat beef, use it as a side dish or an ingredient in a casserole or soup.  Also another thing you can do to stretch your meal is to add a homemade bread to the menu.  A thick slice of homemade bread is really filling.  So add to that a vegetable soup and/or a pasta/potato dish and the beef becomes less important.  Not to mention you'll have more leftovers for lunch the next day.

Check the Soups in the recipe section of this blog for more beef dishes.
