Recipes
By buying meat in bulk versus by the cut you can save a lot of money but, you get some different cuts of meat that can be harder to work with. We hope by sharing some of our favorite recipes we can help you figure out what to do with those "harder to use" cuts!
A delicious recipe!
Crock Pot Beef and Butternut Squash Stew
Stew meat is a tough cut that needs to be cooked for a long period of time to be tender. Crock pot recipes are our favorite use for stew meat and this one was a hit! It's even better the next day than it was the first!
Tater Topped Casserole
We are always looking for new ways to cook ground beef, burgers can get boring after a while and hamburger helper can be repetitive. This casserole is surprisingly tasty and super easy to make. We usually cover the whole casserole with tater tots to increase its tastiness!
Vegetable-Beef-Barley Soup
Another one for the crock-pot! We love the crock-pot through the whole year but the most of all during the winter. This is the type of soup that you want to curl up with when it's blowing snow outside and that's usually what we do!
Just a few ingredients and you have a delicious meal!
Sausage Gravy and Biscuits
Ground sausage can be a bit boring after a while. We love this recipe because not only is it fast and easy, but it gives us a way to use up our ground sausage that makes our mouth water!
We love to top our chili with cheese and sour cream!
Slow-Cooker Family Favorite Chili
You can never have enough delicious recipes for ground beef! This chili is are favorite for busy days that have been spent outside in the cold. Nothing beats walking through the door and smelling this chili waiting for you to dig in! Add a sprinkle of cheese or a dollop of sour cream and you've got a mouth watering dinner for the whole family to enjoy.
One of the best pies we've ever tasted.
Banana Cream Pudding Pie
In celebration of Thanksgiving we thought we would share our favorite pie recipe! This recipe is a great addition to the classics (pumpkin and apple of course) and is super easy to make. We like to swap the pastry crust for a graham cracker crust, which we think makes this pie a real crowd please-er!
This recipe calls for a long cook time but is very easy to throw together quickly!
Swiss Steak
Buying meat by the quarter means you get some cuts that can be difficult to know what to do with. Round steaks are not meat to be eaten in the traditional way you would cook a steak because they are significantly tougher than other steak cuts. Swiss steak takes the toughness out of round steak and is one of our favorite ways to use this difficult cut!
Creamy Ham and Fettuccine
For this recipe, you can use some of those ham steaks you aren't sure how to finish up! Also a bonus, this dish takes only about 20 minutes to make and even less than that if you make the pasta ahead of time.
