Roast Beef on a budget for 2 all week.

I bought a 4.99 pound rump roast. I figured it out, this weeks grocery list cost me around $50.00. I enjoyed this challenge and came up with some tasty recipes. Something new everyday. I actually, came up with two extra recipes with this. One I'm going to use during sandwich week and the other was the taco casserole I gave you last week.
