Kroger is killing me with this new coupon policy change in our area....no more double coupons!! :( It has really put a damper on my grocery budget and I have been a little frustrated the past few weeks trying to figure it out!!!
So I decided that this week we would only use the meat that is in our freezer and I did not purchase any meat when I went to the grocery store.
The meat contents of our freezer:
3 lbs of Ground Beef
1 lb of Ground Turkey
2 lbs of Beef Tips
6 Deer Steaks
1 Deer Backstrap
20 pieces of all ready baked chicken
1 3-lb Deer Roast
1 Whole-quartered Chicken
1 Whole Roasted Turkey
And the "Meals":
Beef tips (1 lb) with broccoli & rice
This is what we had on Monday night. I searched for some new recipes because I didn't want just plain ol' beef tips & rice. I came across this one, which gave me some ideas. And with a few changes, we were all very satisfied with the results.
My recipe:
1 lb Beef Tips
1 T Vegetable Oil
1 12 oz bag of frozen Broccoli cuts
3 Fresh White Mushrooms (sliced thin)
1/4 Cup Teriyaki Sauce
2 T Honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Can of Campbell's Tomato Soup
Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until well browned.
In a bowl, mix together Soup, Teriyaki Sauce, Honey, and garlic powder then add to the skillet. Heat to a boil. Add mushrooms and broccoli. Turn down the heat to low-med, cover and let cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, until done.
Serve over Rice.
Spaghetti with meat sauce (1 lb Ground Beef)
~with Salad and Ciabatta Rolls
Meatloaf (1 lb Ground Beef & 1 lb Ground Turkey)
~with Mashed Potatoes, Corn Bread Muffins, and Green Beans
Baked Chicken (10 pieces)
~with Pasta Alfredo and Corn & Peas
Deer Steaks on the Grill
~with Salad and French Fries
Crock pot Deer Roast
~with Carrots and Roasted Red Potatoes
Now you will notice that there are only six meals planned. That is because we usually eat dinner at church on Wednesday or it is a Yo-Yo {You're On Your Own} Night when we eat leftovers.
And we still have meat left in the freezer for next week!
Oh and I also made these on Monday afternoon....No Bake Cookies...which were gone by this afternoon!
Now I need to go search for a new Meatloaf recipe! Do you have a good one?
