Beef Roast

Finding items on sale always catches my attention, especially if it's FOOD. In fact, I rarely buy items that are not on sale. That makes it easier, and less expensive, when figuring out future meals. Frugal can get you a long ways in this time of crazy food prices.
So back to the subject here. It was good to find a nice beef roast on sale, and, just the right size for multiple dinners. The nice slab of meat was cooked via my favorite method, a pressure cooker. So fast, easy, and tender. Needing a side dish, a pot was loaded to boil up some taters, carrots, celery and onion......and good for multipurpose too. The pan drippings from the meat, and the veggie water, were used to make some incredible gravy. Pan drippings from any meat make a superb gravy. Don't waste it!
So how do you stretch out this bargain and be frugal?  The main course of beef, veggies and gravy will be 2 meals. Some of the veggies slipped over into another pot, for delicious beef vegetable noodle soup, a wonderful cool weather treat, enough for 2 more meals. The remaining veggies and meat, along with an abundant pot of that gravy, will become a tasty beef stew, good for 2 more meals. Being frugal, and resourceful, has produced 6 hearty home cooked meals for $6 worth of meat.All done in 90 minutes.
