Last week I stood at the counter looking at the meat prices Sunday afternoon swooning over steak until I saw the prices. I left with ground beef and three packages of chicken thighs, but delicious was still going to happen.

If you’re like me, you need some inflation fighting, cheap red meat recipes and dinner ideas, because friends, it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. 

There are cheaper cuts of beef that are still affordable. Ground beef cubes and shoulder cuts can make outstanding meals if you have the right recipes.

Cheap Red Meat Recipes Using Ground Beef

I think ground beef is probably my favorite meat, because it’s so versatile and found in every cuisine. The simplicity of oven-baked hamburger steaks delivers comfort meal pleasure as does the meatloaves.

If you haven’t had picadillo, I urge you to try it, as it’s one of the dishes I make most often.

The ground beef with peas and onions is a cheap Italian dish that we discovered at an Italian night pot luck years ago. it takes about ten minutes to make and you will marvel at how a three-ingredient meal can be so good. Ricotta or Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs will fill you up and make everyone happy.
