I seem to be going through them really quickly; the beef cooked in butter is divine. But the packages are a bit pricey and I'm wondering if I'm being a bit overindulgent.
How many meals can you stretch out of 1 lb of beef?

In my olden low carb days, that would have been 2 servings. I find that after a few years of so much meat we don't need that much of it anymore. So now, if we're eating it straight up (like burgers or meatballs or something) 1 lb would be 4 servings. If we're using it in something (like soup or chili) it could end up being more like 6 servings. |

I make four burgers with one pound which would be four meals for me unless I was super hungry. However, there are three of us so it actually only makes one meal. ETA: I pay $5/lb. if I buy it at the farmers' market, but as part of my meat share it comes out to around $4.25/pound |

Ignore my prior answer. It's one meal for one person most likely. Sometimes I can make it one meal for two people. |

I live with my 17-yr-old grandson; need I say more? :-)) What usually happens is he eats 3/4 of the package and I get 1/4. It works out fine, because I usually add fat since it's 85/15 and when I add a salad and cooked veggies I'm plenty full. If it were just me, a pound would last at least 2 probably 3 meals. |

Never more than one. Often half. But then I usually don't eat more than two meals per day. |

Usually one meal. Can be two meals, but that's usually dinner and supper, and they're 3 hours apart, and only if each half-lb pittance is supplemented with 3-4 eggs. |

I bought some for the first time a few weeks ago, I paid $7.00 per lb. I'm glad I didn't put it on the bar b q because it didn't hold together like the regular hamburger. I added 1 egg to the hamburger and fried it in a pan, It was delicious, I think I got 5 burgers, but they shrunk a lot when they were cooked, I know I paid a lot but I live in an area that doesn't have grass fed beef and when I found it, I had to buy it! |

I try to make it last atleast 3 meals. I'm on a budget, though. |

1 meal + some leftovers: me, husband, 6 year old picky eater who loves meat, and ravenous, carnivorous 20 month old. If I use it for tacos/lettuce wraps, it's gone. If I use it for chili, we usually have leftovers for one or two lunches. |

With bacon, liver, or eggs, that's four meals. With no other meat or eggs, two meals. |

Ermmmmm...one. However, I only buy 85/15 ground beef at $7-ish a pound, then eat it with a (conventional) sweet potato mashed in beef fat. That brings my meal to a grand total of eight dollars. My lunch is a mere two tins of salmon or tuna, though - I eat ten or eleven dollars worth of food a day. To put that in perspective, my teenage sister and cousins also eat ten to eleven (maybe more, I have no idea how to measure their snackage) dollars a day of pop tarts, breakfast cereals, zone perfect bars, and fast food. To stretch dollars I would halve the ground beef, maybe quarter it, and add more sweet potatoes and butter to the meal, with an egg or two for extra protein and nutrients. Conversely, I would keep my meals the same and cut costs in other places. ORRR do both at the same time. |

Meat is the main focus of most of my meals. 1 lb of grassfed ground is about 1 meal with some left over. I'd say 2 lbs. is 3 meals, maybe. If I'm making burgers, that's two good sized burgers. I don't try to stretch it further. If you are, then add a ton of vegetables like a stir-fry. Tubers as others have suggested is of course a great idea as well. |

We're a family of 4: me, DF, 3.5 year old DD & 2.5 year old DS. 0.5kg would do us for one meal with perhaps a little left over. However, not enough for all four. I'd say it would be about 5-6 servings. |
