With just two ingredients and a hands-off cooking method, this pastrami couldn’t be an easier main course. The total package! It’s economical as far as meat is concerned, features just two ingredients (plus the meat), and is super crowd-pleasing. I got this recipe from a friend years ago and I can’t begin to tell you…

18 Dinners Using Ground Beef/Chicken
There’s no protein out there that’s as budget-friendly and family-friendly as ground meat! There’s perhaps no better bang-for-the-buck dinner out there.

What Do You Do With Leftover Chicken After Making Chicken Soup?
Turn that pale and boiled chicken into an amazing meal for another night. Growing up we called chicken that was used to flavor the chicken soup, “chicken of the sea.” My mother would never serve it. She knew all of my siblings wouldn’t touch it. Chicken of the sea was not for us. But then…
The No-Bean Chili All Your Kids Will Love

For years, when I would hear of friends making meatballs, sloppy joes, or meatloaf for dinner, I would think to myself, “It’s such a shame no one in my family will eat ground beef.” The fact that no…
