did anyone mention meatloaf, that all-american favorite?
plan on .5 - .75 lb per person, because you'll get more than one meal out of this.
and stretch the meat with breadcrumbs, eggs, cracker crumbs, onion, whatever you like.
1. meatloaf w/mash, and then -
2. open face slices on toast w/dripping gravy, and then -
3. crumbled into a noodle casserole with cracker crumbs on top.
all you need is a side veggie and you're good to go. and the best way to save money is always serve a cup of soup first. very filling and nutritious, too.
