35 Ground Beef Recipes to stretch your Food Dollar!

If you’re on Pinterest or Facebook, I’d dearly appreciate it if you could use one of the buttons above! Thank you so much!

Below are around 35 Ground Beef recipes that my family loves. Just about every post includes a special story or insight into something I’ve learned in the course of my daily life, so if you’re just in the mood to read a bit, be sure and visit each one! I’ve noted some of the story themes below a few of the posts but I say so much on any given day that there is just not telling what you’ll read when you click on a link!

I hope these recipes help you to stretch your family’s food dollar as well as keep the supper table lively and delicious. Be sure to check out my post on how to get 8 meals out of 4 pounds of ground beef by clicking here. Can you imagine? That’s almost two weeks worth of meals from one package of beef!

And while you’re here, have a wonderful day!

Gratefully,

Garden Skillet Supper

 This is an easy recipe to alter based on what you have. Zucchini would be an excellent substitute for squash and if you only have one bell pepper or tomato that will work, too.

**THIS POST is how I process large quantities of ground beef. The post is pretty old but it still shows it just as well. I prefer to buy large quantities of ground beef and cook it all at once. I then freeze it to have cooked ground beef on hand anytime I need to whip up a quick meal. This is my #1 timesaver!
