Beef and Kasha Mexicana image

Trying to eat healthier but also looking to save money on dinner? Mixing ground meat with whole grains is a good way to do both. Here, kasha, a whole grain made from buckwheat, adds a delicious toasty flavor when mixed with ground beef, while also stretching the meat to make six servings. (From Betty Crocker's "Money Saving Meals" cookbook).

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would definitely add more spices next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but the flavors were still great. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of kasha, but I really enjoyed this dish. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different grain next time.

This is an amazing dish! The combination of flavors is incredible, and the kasha adds a unique texture that perfectly complements the beef. I will definitely be making this again.
