How to Stretch Ground Beef

Stretch ground beef and your grocery budget by mixing one of these cheap fillers in with your meat:

• Oatmeal
• Bread crumbs
• TVP
• Cream of Wheat
• Grated vegetables (try potatoes or carrots)
• Beans
• Rice
• Ground turkey

Then, prepare your meal as usual, and enjoy the savings.

Why This Works

The filler takes on the taste and texture of the ground beef; so your recipe looks and tastes the same, but costs less.
