Nutritionist Jewel Graham of Iowa State College notes cheaper cuts still supply protein minerals and vitamins. A biscuit meat loaf uses ground meat, eggs, beans and tomatoes baked in a biscuit, with step by step dough prep and shaping. Leftover beef or pork can form casseroles with vegetables and sauces. A meat and vegetable soup uses shank or knuckle bones, slow simmered with onion bay leaf peppercorns celery tops and carrots, then enriched with stock and vegetables. Many recipes rely on affordable ingredients and emphasize prudent meat use this summer.
