Ideas for how to use up homemade tomato sauce, that don't involve pasta?
Ideas for how to use up homemade tomato sauce, that don't involve pasta?

I made some tomato sauce over the weekend to serve over some baked chicken, and I've found myself with a lot leftover. It's kinda basic, with garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and celery. I've already used up some of it by mixing it with ground sausage for stuffed peppers, and I was hoping for more ideas to try and get 1-2 more meals out of it. I'd also like ideas that don't involve pasta, since that feels a little too obvious and I want to be a bit more creative if I can.

Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us.

Watching beef prices rising like some kind of memecoin, its just insane. I know mass cattle farming is terrible and we should eat less. But this was kinda the last straw. Just cant justify the cost anymore.

It it ok to add the bones left on our dinner plates to my stock reserve in the freezer? Is it weird?

So I have a freezer bag in my freezer where I collect scraps to make into stock. Chicken backs, carrot peels, onion trim etc. But I’ve realized that most of the bones from the meat we eat end up on peoples plates. Bbq rib bones, t bones, chicken bones from roast chicken etc…

Is there any reason to not take those and add them to the frozen stock scraps?
