Cheap Meat Recipes That Won't Break The Budget

 

Try to cook your meat so that fat drains away from it.   Cheap and easy meat recipes can contain sausages.   Choose the highest quality ground  minced meat that your budget will allow.   If possible, buy hormone and chemical free meat. Cheap meat recipes include stews and casseroles.


My family are not great eaters of meat.  We are certainly not into steak and veges every night - in fact I'm not much good at cooking steak anyway. We occasionally have a roast dinner but even then it is cooked in a way that minimizes fat consumption. 

Heaps of meat signifies heaps of cholesterol to me.  We eat chicken regularly and I strive to use turkey mince probably once a week.  I was told once that turkeys don't get fed hormones and anti-biotics which sounds pretty good to me.  There doesn't seem to be much fat in turkey mince which is another bonus.

My family enjoys rissoles whether I make them from beef or from chicken and we always seem to have left-overs which are eagerly devoured by our 19 year-old for breakfast the next morning.  The recipe is listed below.  Any other left-overs are used later that day sliced up in sandwiches - that's if Rissole Boy hasn't already scoffed them.  See what you think about these cheap and easy meat recipes:
