It has been FREEZING cold here in the Midwest this month but thankfully I finished all of my holiday shopping early on. I even wrapped my presents weeks ago! And that leaves me a lot of time to plan holiday meals and quality time with my family around the table. I love trying out new recipes and beef prices have been falling which means my kind of bargain! (They are down nearly 10% from the highest prices in late 2014!) 

You have to check out this recipe guide full of easy versatile dishes that are perfect for any occasion!

Every time I go to the grocery store I walk past the meat section and specifically look for sales on roasts, steaks and ground beef – some of our family’s favorite! When I see a good price on them I stock up – and I stock up big! We actually have two chest freezers since I also freeze veggies from the garden for the year which leaves me plenty of room to fill up my cart with beef! I always make sure to buy a variety so I can make as many different meals as I can!

TIP: Make the meat department your last stop in the grocery store and if it will take you longer than 30 minutes to get home consider keeping it in a cooler in your vehicle!

 

This Maple Glazed Roast with Roasted Acorn Squash looks DELICIOUS and so simple to do! Visit The Beef Checkout for this recipe and others like Citrus-Marinated Beef and Fruit Kabobs or Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine Sauce and Beef Stuffing with Apples and Cranberries.

Tips on Ways to Save Beef for Holiday Meals

TIPS:

*Once you’re home, refrigerate or freeze beef as soon as possible after purchasing.
*Always place beef packages on the lowest shelf in your refrigerator on a plate or tray to catch any escaping juices.
*For best quality, thaw steaks and roasts in the refrigerator—never at room temperature—and be sure to place the frozen package on a plate or tray to catch any escaping juices during the thawing process. Check out these refrigerator and freezer storage guidelines to ensure maximum quality.
