Oops! 🤦♀ I miscalculated on the Taco Spaghetti. It would cost me about $1 more because I forgot to double the rotel! Still a pretty cheap and tasty meal, in my opinion! :)
My mom taught me a hack for the tomato paste. Spray a ice tray and divide the paste and freeze. After it's frozen put in a freezer bag and whenever you need a tablespoon just grab one out of the bag 😊
So good. Thank you ✨️
If you don’t want to wash an ice cube tray, just spoon it all into a ziploc sandwich bag. Then lay it flat and use you finger to make little separations of the paste. Freeze it flat like that. It’s super easy to take out one chunk at a time.
I'm a caregiver too several elderly ladies in one home, and they love ground beef recipes, I adapt them to a crockpot, but I know these will become favorites, they will probably want me to add zucchini or squash to them as well, but I'm so thankful for more ideas! Thank you for sharing!❤
You’d be great on the Food Network! I’d watch your show, Mindy. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree!
Haha, thank you! I’m not sure I have it “together” enough for that kind of thing, but I appreciate the kind words!
Yes you do ❤❤❤❤
I freeze my tomato paste in 1 tablespoon piles, on wax paper. Works like a charm!
I prefer you over the food network! Thank you for being real!
Oh that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I've heard of freezing it in ice cube trays, but the blobs is a better idea!
Perfect timing, my family is chickened out! (I struggle with easy meat based meals). Thank you for always looking out for us moms that need easy!
My pleasure, glad I can give some inspiration. :)
Same here lol
Allergic to beef, but here I am, still watching 😂 Substitutions for the win!
Thanks, Mindy!!you’re awesome. I walked right into the kitchen. Used up my leftover taco meat and made the taco spaghetti for dinner in eight minutes while I watched the rest of your video.❤❤❤
I love that! So glad I could give an idea. That taco spaghetti is so so good. Good way to change up the traditional spaghetti, which we eat a lot around here.
This is a great collection of meal ideas. I like when you do the ingredient specific collections because that's how my brain works for meal planning. I don't eat beef, but I think I could adapt most of these to be tasty with brown lentils or ground turkey.
Yes! I think these would work with ground turkey or chicken just fine. I don’t cook a lot with lentils but I have used them some in place of ground meat in some southwest style dishes.
Stroganoff cheat code! My mother in law would keep a bag in her freezer... everytime she made a roast or steaks etc... if there was one or 2 slices of beef left she would dice it up and add it to the bag... then when it was "enough" you had a "free" meal...
Great idea! This could work with Chili and Goulash too 🤤
But😂
Mindy, thank you for these. With grocery prices being what they are right now, I really appreciate the inexpensive meal ideas.
Hi there...the one recipe with the potatoes and Hamburger, we call it Bauerntopf in German...translated to Farmerspot!! Cause u can put in whatever u have on hand...😊
Hello dag,
Do you have have any German recipes to share. A true black forrest gatteau recipe perhaps?❤❤❤❤
@@DragonQueenx1 I'm sorry can't help u there...but I'm sure u can find some on TH-cam if u type it in. Good luck 👍 💓
@@DragonQueenx1 I am pretty sure that almost nobody makes Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte from scratch anymore. :(
Mindy, i love the inclusion of the ingredients list. I can screenshot that and it helps when im searching for dinner ideas 👍🏼
"man down, boop" 😂😂😂 I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one using sound effects in the kitchen, everything getting thrown in get a boop !!! 😂😂😂 This made me feel less alone thank you !!
haha! My video editor has heard everything over the years...we crack each other up!
My Mother made Porcupine meatballs for years and we loved them. She used Rice a Roni .
Mindy these all are keepers! And you are better than anything on Food Network 🎉. ❣️😊
haha! Thank you, that's very high praise! :)
Mindy try this if you have not before: brown onions, mushrooms and your ground beef or chicken. Take a tin of cream of chicken or mushroom soup and let simmer a while. Must not be to dry or runny. When thick enough switch off plate. Take a muffin tin spray with non stick spray. Take same amount of bread as your muffin tin. Cut of very thinly the crusts. Take a roller and just roll over the bread to thin it out. Place in your muffin tin. Bake for about 10 minutes or just a little hard to form a cup. Fill with some off the filling . Add a bit of shredded cheese bake till cheese melted. And enjoy. My daughter loves it with ground beer/chicken minced or strips. ❤ from South africa
This sounds great too, added to Mindy's list, now I have 11 recipes 😊
Great video! We buy local beef so I love how you broke down the price of the meals minus the meat cost.
Thank you. Meat, especially ground beef which comes in so many fat contents and qualities, varies WILDLY. I thought this would be the best way.
I love the saute function! I got a ninja with it about 10-12 years ago and the family got me a new one for Christmas because the non stick was in bad shape. I just used it today to sear the pot roast and saute the onions & mushrooms. So handy
Love the way you just eyeball measure with the tip of your knife!
It's because I don't want to make another utensil dirty that I'll have to clean later! LOL
@@SeeMindyMom I live that life, makes my husband crazy! LOL
@@SeeMindyMomI do the same thing only with the palm of my hand:)
I freeze leftover tomato paste. works like a charm.
Me too
Me, too! It’s cheaper than the tube of tomato paste.
When I open a can of tomato paste, I freeze the left over tomato paste in 1 tbsp amounts on a cookie sheet. Then throw them into a freezer for future use.
@@amyobrien9034 I freeze it as well but it’s just in one big blob! Definitely using your idea!
Yep, here too!!
My husband and I tried the porcupine skillet last night and it was delicious! We didn't have a 16oz can of tomatoes on hand, so instead I used a can of aldis rotel and their Mexican street corn! It had a nice texture and it was awesome! Definitely a new favorite! ❤️
I make ground beef a lot and I love when you show such recipes.😊
Love all your videos and ideas Mindy💕 would love to see a video with some more budget baking too
I always buy the tube of paste. I used to freeze the rest of the can and lose it in the freezer!!!!
I have the tube, too. It's not as cost-effective as the cans, but it sure comes in handy when I only need 1-2 tBSP
Glad to see a budget video with beef instead of chicken. Maybe next budget video can be ham and/or pork.
Porcipine meatballs was my birthday dinner. So good
That porcupine meatball recipe is something that was taught to Australian girls at high school (because 50 years ago girls were expected to aspire to being wives and mothers). But the recipe is delicious. I add lemon zest. Very tasty.
Love the quickness of these meals❤
I have the same crockpot -love it!
I was just searching ground beef recipes when I got your notification... so that was easy❤
Perfect timing! Glad I can deliver. :)
These all sound great 😊
Good stuff!
I feel SO smooth brained. I have what I thought was a rice cooker and in fact is SO MUCH MORE than that! I also have a “sauté then simmer” function and have never used it! 😂 thanks Mindy!
I get gnocchi at Dollar Tree for $1.25!
I see it there, occasionally, too. Definitely the best price I've seen.
Just freeze tomato by tablespoons in the freezer. Use a tablespoon at a time. Easy!
I've never seen Picadillo without green olives.
Made the Picadillo tonight. It was a huge hit! Even my son who doesn't like potatoes, loved it. 🙂 Thanks so much for the recipe to add to our rotation. ❤
Fantastic! Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
This video was awesome! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
The gnocchi would be great with some added spinach. You could also switch out to Italian sausage for the hamburger. Love your channel. I get some many great recipes. Thanks ❤
Great choices!
Thank you!
Thks.for sharing these recipes.
My pleasure 😊
Awesome video, thanks for sharing Mindy 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the budget friendly dinner menus/recipes 😊😊😊

Thank you!!
Thanks for this video great meals thanks ❤😊
Thanks Mindy! Appreciate your real life videos!
Keeping it real with my real-life videos, thanks for watching!
Thank you sooo much! I appreciate your videos more than you know, Thank you bunches!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
These recipes look delish! Going to have to try them!
I love having the ingredient list pop up like that!❤
😊 lots of ideas, thanks all! I was recently reminded of a childhood fave. Brown hamburger, add a can of tomato soup and simmer. That's it. Serve over rive or egg noodles. Sounds weird, i know but after decades of not even remembering it, I am grateful to taste it again. SO 😋😋😋
Again I now have more recipes that will get me through my strict budget and my family will love. ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
All of these look delicious. Will definitely be trying them soon.❤
Going to try some of these ..they look super easy!
Wow! I love how you did this! So organized with recipe and budget 😮❤😊
Walmart has ground turkey 2.54 in freezer dept
Good vlog!
Thanks for the ideas! And you are so brave cooking in a white blouse!
Haha, you make a good point!
Great ground beef, family-friendly recipes! Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Great video, a lot of great content. Thanks so much.😊
Thank you! Glad I could help. :)
I always appreciate your videos 🎉 TY
Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this. Lots of good ideas and not difficult. You have no idea how much this particular episode means. Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much, Mindy! I'm always looking for new delicious, economical meals. May God bless you & your family.
Likewise! Blessings to you and yours!
Damn Delicious has the BEST cheesy Italian shells recipe! ❤️ 🍝
Good to know, I'll check it out! :)
Oooh thanks
My pleasure!
I really enjoyed this video! I usually will take notes on 1 or 2 recipes but today, i took down notes for 5!!! Can't wait to try these out, thanks for the great suggestions
Awesome to hear you're excited to try them out! Let me know how they turn out for you!
Um I loved the french onion casserole and so did my exchange student from Brazil. I often need recipes for cooking meal for my exchange students and often see your channel. She LOVED it. Thank you to Berlyls Kitchen! I added a fancy pasta (16 oz.) and frozen french cut green beans and it was delish. I did add a touch of nonfat milk. That's it! I used swiss cheese (about 2 cups) and it was amazing!
Love these mince idea. Have just been watching another youtuber and she did Salisbury steak using mince, a nice winter meal. I would love the idea of using tuna recipe variations like you did with mince please 😊
Mindy- the ground beef and wild rice recipe has become a staple in our house since I first saw it here! I’ve found it to be a good recipe for the ‘use it up’ days having sometimes added green peppers and/or mushrooms. The first time I made it my husband went back for thirds 🤣. Thanks !
It's a good one. That's a good idea to change up the veggies according to what's hanging out in your fridge.
You could also do some stir-fry or noodle with ground beef in some peanut butter based sauce🤔
I love all these recipes and certainly they are delicious comforting food for a low price, but i have an impression they all include tomatoes and cheese and i am trying to change things up 😅
I grew up eating a beef and wild rice dish that included slivered almonds and a bit of cooking sherry. Sooo good. The rest of the recipe was just about the same as yours.
With regard to ground beef, Kroger puts their 80% lean on sale every three or four weeks for $2.97 a pound (in a 3 pound chub, so $8.91). We usually get about 12 pounds at a time.
Ground meats are so so versatile! I've been cooking up two pounds of beef with 1 lb of turkey and dividing it into three meals! Great to freeze and have a short cut on your next meal.
That's a great tip, too. My family prefers ground beef to turkey so mixing it together makes for a more palatable substitution.
Mindy, your timing is impeccable. I have 2 pounds of ground beef and I woke up this morning remember I need to meal plan well because we're almost over budget for groceries this month - thank you for giving me some great ideas (as usual)!
I'm so glad I could help! I love it when the timing works out. :)
Stroganoff is delicious made with chicken! Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
For the Picadillo, try blending the tomatoes with the onion, a jalapeño, water, minced garlic and the chicken knorr powder with the tomato knorr powder.
Thanks for the tip!
You would be great on Food Network! Friendly, honest, outgoing; you’ve got all that. Now I’ve got more recipes to try out. Thanks!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Girl friend it's 6 am here in Texas and I'm up watching you.😂 I'm making these groovy recipes for my boys ❤.
Is there a link for the Picadillo
I tell everyone I know to check out your channel for delicious filling budget meals. Adding a few of these to our meal plan.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and the referrals. :)
@@SeeMindyMom you're so very welcome, sweet friend.
I love chow mein noodles.
look yummy food
Hello! Love the vids. I am someone who doesnt like pasta and is picky with veggies. Any recommendations on budget meals without any of those? Can a video be made for budget and easy meals for picky eaters
Hi Mindy, have you tried the knorr brand bouillon? Maybe it's not as healthy as better than bullion but i like the flavor much more
I have, I like it. It's pretty economical, too.
Great timing. Thanks for the suggestions - got a half beef that gave us 102 pounds if ground beef
Love the weird things our parents always served together....my mom always served canned beets on spaghetti night....
Does freezing change texture, of rice, pasta or potatoes
Hi! I was wondering if the casserole dish will work in an oven or crock pot?! And would the measurements be the same?Thanks ❤
Do you think canned pasta sauce would work as a substitute for the other tomato products in these recipes. I’ve got a couple dozen cans I need to use up and I think they’d work instead of the diced tomatoes or paste.🍅
Yes, but you may need to reduce other liquids in the recipe.
Anyone have a good substitute for the canned tomatoes? Family severely dislikes stewed/cooked tomatoes.
My girls love hamburger helper. I don't even bother trying to make it from scratch. Sometimes I doctor it up, but not always. It was on sale for $1.49 a box at Safeway the other day, so I grabbed a few.
That's a good price for it these day. I still use the box mixes sometimes, too. I usually add fresh or canned veggies and extra dairy.
Adding beans, more veggies, cheese, even wheat germ you can really stretch hamburger, ground chicken , turkey, pork .
Great tip!
Oats too
I have found that while blocks and sliced cheeses don't freeze well, shredded cheese freezes just fine.
Yes, I agree. I wonder if that's because it has anti-caking powder in it that might help it with the freeze/thaw process.
Preshredded cheese doesn’t do well but if you shred it yourself then freeze it does freeze better
Hi Mindy it’s great to see more ground beef recipes to try I will be cooking one of them tonight yay for the one pot meals Thanks for sharing 😊❤️👍
So glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I will say that I found out the sucky way that the Italian Shell HH doesn't microwave well next day 😞It turns to mush and falls apart
Now that my family has gotten smaller I find it cheaper sometimes to buy something like hamburger helper depending on what I have in the house for the rest of the meal.
Where do you get that chili garlic sauce? I have several recipes that call for it. I used to be able to buy that specific brand but now I can’t find any brand of it anywhere! I’ve tried to make my own version but it’s just not the same.
I had to buy a different brand last time at my walmart.
I heard you say you left your church. My husband and I are feeling this too. What made you finally say, we're done?!
All of these recipes are a keeper. I can see my family enjoying these .
