Beef can do the flavor, these six do the rest. That is how my mother ran the whole house, and it is all in one book 📖 <a href="https://oldmexicanway.com/">https://oldmexicanway.com</a><br><br>What did your mother make when there was no money for meat, mija? ❤

Japanese people also believe meat is for flavor, it's NEVER "the meal", and they are among some of the HEALTHIEST people alive!

Pintos and cornbread or fried potatoes and a wedge of raw onion are the meals Mom made when the month ran long and the money ran short. Delicious Memories made with Love. ❤

The price is not the most important red flag about ground beef at the moment.<br>If you can afford to buy whole beef at a local butcher and have them ground it for you - do that.<br>Otherwise....I'd steer clear of ground beef for the forseeable future. There are... issues.

We had dry pinto beans, neck bones, onion, green peppers, seasonings and white rice. Fed 7 with leftover. Delicious and filling.

We take lentils and Jimmy Dean sage sausage and make a big pot . It is so good . Brown the sausage 1 st and add to the cooking beans , with a chopped onion , and garlic . My crowd eats it for 2-3,meals .. sometimes I fry an egg to go with it too ..

Excellent advice. I'm pleased I've done a ton of these and I'm not even Mexican. You can make lentil burgers too.
