Was in Shoprite yesterday, and amongst the other stuff I found...

[TreasonousBastard]

was a pack of Beyond burgers. Two for four bucks. That's 2 quarter pounders, or 8 bucks a pound. Or, twice per pound that I paid for a rump roast.

I gotta admit that the burgers tasted pretty good, but the price is not right for feeding a boy scout troop, or even a small family. If they stay around at all, the price will come down and they will be good value. I'd buy all I can get at 2 bucks a pound, or half the price of the rump roast.

1. What do you do with a rump roast?

The price is so good, but i made one last week and it was very tough.

2. I cut it up into little pieces and make a stew out of it. It's still a little

tough even after hours of cooking, but I am playing with tenderizing methods.

4. Try adding a tomato or two

which I have learned over the years helps to tenderize a tough-ish roast. I think it is the acid in the tomatoes. Give it a try next time. Same for beef stew.

8. I'll try that--

It makes sense. I wonder if marinating the roast in tomato juice or salsa for a few hours would help.

3. Crockpot, all day

with some root vegetables, makes a good pot roast

According to that, it's also good for jerky, but I've never tried that.

5. We make Sauerbraten with a Rump Roast.

When you boil it in vinegar/water with pickling spices and an onion for several hours you can cut it with a fork. In fact, if you boil it too long it will completely fall apart.

9. Sounds good!

"Long and slow" seems to be the right way to do it.

10. Instant Pot?

I use it for so many things. A pot roast is great in the IP, and then I use the meat to make taquitos. A small can of roast beef is around $6, and you can get a lot more than a can of roast beef out of a roast.

6. I use both beyond burgers and impossible burgers

I think it is a little cheaper if you buy the ground versions and make your own patties. But yes, even so it is pricy.

The good news is it helps the planet/reduces cruelty so even if you swap out once a week if you can swing it that would be something good 😊

I noticed Costco sells the burgers in bulk, and probably a good deal. My freezer is always too full to buy that many at once.

7. I usually get Impossible Burgers

I have a whole box of them in the freezer right now and a couple Beyond Burgers (that I also got at 2/$4 at my local supermarket) in the fridge. I planned to eat one or both this weekend but didn't get around to it. I only cook for one or two, so the price isn't bad for me, but I'm sure it'd be prohibitively expensive for people with larger families.
