Beef

As farmers we’ve got great beef recipes along with a freezer full of beef, so we’re regularly making Pot Roasts, Marinated Steaks, Cube Steaks and doing all kinds of things with ground beef.

My farmer and the kids love Crock Pot Sloppy Joes or Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes for a quick lunch.

Anyone will eat our Farmhouse Crock Pot Spaghetti or Lasagna and they both make the best freezer meals!

Cream Cheese and Beef Stuffed Shells is a special recipe that always fills our bellies and warms our hearts.  Another family favorite is our super tender Applesauce Meatballs.  When the meat is tender and easy for the kids to eat it just makes meal time so much easier!

Our family craves a juicy and delicious meatloaf.  Farmhouse Meatloaf is our classic recipe.  When we want to be creative we make mini Taco Meatloaves or Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf.

We’re proud that both sides of our family raise beef.  Our son even raises a couple of calves each year in 4-H.  When you buy beef in any grocery store you are supporting farm families like ours all over the USA!
