Quinoa is cheap, somewhere around the price of bagged rice or other bagged beans. It's these tiny seed things. They got protein and fiber in them. So it's great to mix into ground meats to make them stretch. So where I would have cooked a pound of beef, I do half a pound, and on the side cook up like a quarter cup quinoa (it expands) and mix it into the meat. So for pasta with meats or Sloppy Joe's, it can really help make meats last an extra meal. Only ground meats tho from what I've tested. And I don't think it has a strong flavor, at least in a sauce, so I don't really notice it's there.
@mikaylaweitzenecker2830Ай бұрын
@samantharowell9733 I was gonna say this i never thought of quinoa, but I used to put oats in mine meat to make it stretch. Especially when making things like stuffed peppers or meatloaf, also, eggs are good protein that you can make meat stretch with too!

A nice piece of ham bought on sale last month plus several different meats like ground turkey Walmart pound pks of half beef half pork (think meatloaf) John Morrell sausage and 8 really nice pork chops from the Church. Thanks to you I can fix all kinds of sides with my pantry. Thank you so much. I can think of dozens of meals that I have the fixings for.

for a cheap meatless meal, a packet of stuffing mix, can of beans drained mix together with about 3/4 of the bean can of water add herbs or spices of your choice, let it swell and shape into burger patties (makes about 8) or make into meatballs and have spaghetti. I love these made with lentils it's cheap quick and filling. Good luck with everything!
