Food Storage Recipe - Baked Goulash

I love ground beef recipes because they are so easy to change into using my freeze dried tvp or freeze dried ground beef. It really helps a lot. Eat good and not spend a lot of money. Meat prices in my small town are going sky-high. Not sure why , but they have doubled in just the last 2 weeks. Which is really sad. This is a poor town that I live in. But, if you have easy recipes that can be made with very little , it helps a lot.

Baked Goulash

1-1/2 to 2 pounds ground beef (I made this last night and I used my freeze dried ground beef!!)

1/2 pound sliced mushrooms

1 small onion, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 (28-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni

1/2 cup water

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet, brown ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and chopped garlic over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains in the beef, stirring frequently. Drain off excess liquid then add remaining ingredients except cheese; mix well.

Place mixture in prepared casserole dish, cover, and bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese has melted.

Read more at Mrfood.com is where I got this recipe from. There are a lot of great recipes over there that can be changed up and altered to use your food storage.

I would love comments on how you would feel about me making major changes on this blog.

Save Money While You Stockpile - 7 Tips To Using Coupons

1. Buy at least two Sunday papers each week to help you build your coupon base. You can usually find the Sunday paper in bundles of two for a discount price. Many papers will also sell their unsold papers for a discount during the following week.

2. Find and bookmark a few couponing blogs that you like to read. Couponing blogs are a great source of encouragement as well as little tidbits of useful information. The key is to find blogs that you enjoy enough to visit on a regular basis and which you feel comfortable enough with the posters to interact.

3. Find and bookmark all the (truly) free printable coupon sites (Like - Coupons.com you can find. Since almost every printable coupon site has a limit of two prints per coupon per computer, you either have to make use of multiple computers or multiple sites if you need to print more than two coupons. Not only do you want to use sites that are free, you want to use sites that do not ask for any personal information (unless you like spam).

4. Know your store's coupon policy and keep a copy with you when you shop. Knowing the policy will save you from being embarrassed at the checkout for inadvertently violating the policy. Taking the policy with you allows you to insist that the store follow their policy when you run into a cashier (or even a manager) that doesn't know the policy. Being able to prove the terms of the policy can sometimes mean the difference in getting the bargain or going home empty handed.

5. Make a shopping list and stick to it. Regardless of whether you use coupons or not, shopping from a list saves you money as it deters impulse buying. Impulse buying absolutely cuts into the savings you obtain from using coupons. Don't do it.

6. Locate sources of free coupon inserts such as friends and family who haven't learned the value of couponing. Have them save their inserts for you. Look for places where you can obtain discarded inserts. One place that is a goldmine for discarded inserts are recycling bins at apartment complexes.

7. Make use of in-store coupons such as "blinkies", "peelies" and "catalinas". Blinkies are machines next to products in the store that dispense coupons. Peelies are coupons attached to products. Catalinas are the coupons that print out at the register.

Keeping Warm and Hidden?

We were talking the other day about how we would stay warm in the winter in a SHTF situation. I was saying that we would do better with a wood burning stove, but hubby brought up a great thought - IF we have a wood burning stove going there would be smoke coming out of our house BROADCASTING to anyone that we have heat and most likely food etc! So then we got on the idea of a good kerosene heater , which I really don't like just because of having to have fuel for it. But he said we could use it and put some of that Santa Snow Frost (for Glass/Mirror surfaces) on all of our windows so anyone walking by would think that the house had no heat. What a crazy idea. I wonder if it would actually work. It would look like the windows are all frosted up and cold. Anyone walking by would think the house was empty, maybe. Is there any other type of heat that can be used that does not use so much fuel and not broadcast to everyone that we have heat??
