I would SO make homemade vegetable beef soup!!!

I get a small roast and cut, simmer in beef broth, and add a lot of vegetables. You can also freeze some.

@ECBG I was thinking about that! I have some excellent 90/10 ground been in the freezer and was thinking about cheating with some of that and then adding the opened veggie packages from the freezer, some fresh veggies.

I'd make homemade spaghetti sauce with ground beef.

We prefer a small roast cut up in soup for more flavor. I get something like a sirloin tip.

@ECBG No homemade sauce for me. I stock up on Rao's when it is on sale. Although we are going to make some kind of pasta later this week with our pasta maker and use leftover sauce and some frozen meatballs we made.

Yes roast is good too or cut up steaks, but this is quick soup to use up what we have and WF's best hamberger, at least the one in OKC, is great. Good hamburger is just as good as any cut of beef--if it is really well made. And luckily this is!

@ECBG I don't know what noodle bake is? LOL!!!

We use ground beef for burgers, meatballs and meat loaf (my recipe: Ground beef and salsa, salt and pepper. NO breadcrumbs, no eggs, no filler. And ketchup on top just before it's done.)

My dad raised pasture raised steers with grain access as they wanted. A lot of them graded prime, brought high dollar prices, and went to restaurants. We would have a steer processed for our use and we got steaks, the best roasts for dry cooking, and round steaks for swiss steak in our electric skilled. Those t-bones were my favorite steaks ever!

The rest of the meat went into very lean burger meat, including all chuck roasts. I never had a pot roast until later in life. Mother worked and I cooked a lot and we had the first Amana Radar Range I ever saw mostly to thaw burger meat. You had to put oil in the pan to cook it it was so lean.

We charcoal cooked a lot of burgers for us and friends and family, as well as gave them meat. We would just call people and say "Come on over!"

I cooked a hearty pot of chicken and sticks for my brother and nephew on Thursday, and chili filled with beef on Friday because that is their favorite. I do not eat meat so I made myself a small pot of vegetarian chili with Impossible brand "meat" substitute. It was delicious! Yesterday was french toast for brunch.😋

What is "chicken and sticks" please? I wonder if it's regional? Thanks!

It is essentially chicken and dumplings, but the dumplings are rolled out, much like you would a pie dough, and cut into strips; hence "sticks". I should have referred to them as slicks, but I am just so accustomed to calling them sticks because my son began calling them that when he was young.😁 They are more commonly referred to as chicken and slicks; a slippery/slick type of dumpling. I prefer cutting mine into a diamond pattern. I make the slicks with butter, and the chicken broth used to boil the chicken. They are quite rich, and quite delicious.😊
