Ground beef has long been a staple in most homes. We raised our own cattle growing up and we always had plenty of fresh ground beef. My mother could stretch ground beef into a filling and delicious meal to feed the family. These old recipes are still as tasty today as back then. They are tried and true recipes that have stood the test of time. If you like old fashioned casseroles, main dishes, meat pies, spaghetti, meatloaf, meatballs, burgers and stews, this cookbook is full of these favorites. With over 250 recipes, you will surely find a favorite to stretch your grocery dollars. There is nothing fancy about these recipes, just old fashioned hearty goodness.
I had to get up and have a smoothie while I read this wonderful compendium using beef in what seemed like a million recipes! I’ll be consulting Watson’s book many nights for my favorite meat recipe (ground beef). What a primer for any cook. Thank you Watson!!
Lots of simple dishes from the crockpot crazy days. Good, though it's focused on beef (NOT my preferred meat), and on stretching that beef to feed a crowd (those days are past for me).
