"When the day's tasks end right as dinner time rolls around, foodies are often looking to the satisfying, warming, budget-friendly beauty of pasta - and ground beef is an affordable protein that can help stretch a meal a little farther."
"To do it, sautee the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat to brown. If you have one, this is a prime opportunity to bust out the cast-iron skillet, which will give that ground beef a flame-grilled taste."
"At a Target in New York, one pound of 85% lean ground beef, one pound of fettuccine, and a 15-ounce jar of Alfredo sauce come together for a $10.37 meal that can be ready in less than 20 minutes."
"Considering the average entree-sized portion is 100 grams of dried pasta per person, that shakes out to four to five servings at roughly $2.50 a plate. It's hearty and hardy; and leftovers hold up in the fridge."
