ORIGINAL: sirsholly try adding a cup of shredded carrots per pound to ground meat when making meatloaf, hamburgers, meatballs, etc. You cannot really take the carrots and they keep the meat from drying out That's a GREAT idea, Holly. That would stretch the meat and be great for someone trying to watch their fats, too. *nods* this was something i picked up on in my college days, Fluffy. Typical kids...we had a serious cash shortage and started using shredded potatoes to make the meat go farther. The problem was, despite how moist and yummy, it was an additional starch that we did not need, so someone suggested carrots. What we did was to chop a huge amt (we had to borrow a food processor and tried to make the most of it) and freeze them by cupful's in baggies. And we did use baggies (the cheap ones) then put all the baggies in a large freezer bag. I have found individual freezer bags are not necessary alot of the time.
