89. This is just a casserole but I'm used to the taste of ground beef in it

Tue Mar 24, 2020, 03:33 PM

Mar 2020

Turkey would work just as well, but it was not on sale and about $3 a pound more than the beef - that's why I passed on it more than any other reason.

I would have just tossed the beef into the freezer until later, anyway. I roasted a turkey Friday and we processed it and have several turkey dinners in the freezer for later. The pork chops went straight into the freezer.

Pretty much it's new in and oldest out first. So this week we'll either have salmon or chicken and yellow rice. Probably the chicken because my husband bought fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones, so the fresh ones need to be used up. The chicken we bought at Costco last November so it definitely needs to be used!
