My father in law told me to add a can of beans to everything back in 2019

I thought he was crazy at first. But I started tossing a can of black beans into my ground beef for tacos, chili, even meatloaf. It stretches a pound of meat to feed my whole family for about $3 less per meal. Has anyone else tried bulking up ground meat with beans and noticed a difference?

I started doing the exact same thing after seeing it on a budget cooking blog a few years back. The black beans in the meatloaf was a game changer for me too, keeps it moist and nobody in my house has even noticed the difference.

My buddy Steve tried that black bean trick and his kids DEVOURED the meatloaf without saying a word. He said it's the only way he makes it now.
