Whole Wheat Meat Extender

Whole Wheat Meat Extender
M. McDonald

1/2 cups uncooked cracked wheat kernels
1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
2 cups water

Stir together and simmer at least thirty minutes.  Add seasonings.  The wheat will absorb water, the meat's flavor, and any seasonings.  It can be refrigerated for later use.  Because the wheat kernels will continue to swell, you may need to add additional water before reheating.  (Crack wheat in blender on high speed for 35 to 40 seconds.)
