Kitchen Tips

You want to save time? 
You want to be healthier?
You want to "extend" your meat?
You want to save money?

Do this: 
*Brown 3-6 pounds of ground beef at a time. 
*Ground up 24 ounces of mushrooms in your food processor and add to the meat, cooking them down with it. 
*Freeze the mushroom/meat mixture.
*Break off parts of it as needed, throwing it into any recipe calling for ground beef. 

No one will ever know.  I promise.  I have fed this to tons of people, even people not in my family, and no one has ever guessed anything was different. 
Mushrooms, while not technically a vegetable, offer many of the same health benefits. 
And . . . they are much cheaper than meat! When I checked last, mushrooms were $2.86 per pound and ground beef was $3.49 per pound. 

Why not save money and get healthier at the same time? 

Why not indeed.
