Archives: Request: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes Archived on 11/16/2009 My dad loves hamburger, anything hamburger. We're getting a bit tired of hamburgers, chili, stuffed peppers, etc. Anymore suggestions? By ivorylov from Ocala, FL Feedback: RE: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes Louisiana meat pies. Just season your meat really good with Tony's and brown, drain really well, then saute' onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in a little water. Then mix and let simmer with a few bullion cubes and a little water. (make meat well ahead of time and let cool) Pie pastry: 3 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 6 tablespoon vegetable shortening 1 large egg 3/4 cup milk Mix well, but not too long. Roll out 12 circles on floured surface. Put meat on one side and fold in half and crimp edges with a fork to seal good. Deep fry at 360 degrees til golden brown. While still hot sprinkle with Tony's. Serve with Tabasco and ketchup. My family loves these.

Onion Burgers in Gravy 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce Heinz Fat Free Beef Gravy in a jar Mix all ingredients except the gravy. Form into large patties. Fry. When done, remove burgers from pan and pour off grease. Add the gravy to the pan, stir to get the residue from the pan mixed into the gravy. Return burgers to pan, cover and let simmer about a half hour, turning patties half way through. (you can broil your burgers if you don't like fried) (04/18/2009) By Deb H. RE: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes What about tacos, spaghetti, Sloppy Joes, shepherd's pie, or meatloaf? I don't really go by recipes for those. Here is one my husband likes. This one is made from basic pantry staples. Country Style Skillet Dinner 2 Tbsp. butter 1 lb. ground beef 2 cups medium noodles 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. pepper 4 oz. shredded Swiss cheese (I normally use cheddar, because I always have that on hand.) Cook meat in hot butter until browned. Stir in uncooked noodles, tomato sauce, salt, sugar and pepper. Cook, covered on low heat 20 minutes or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle with cheese; heat covered until cheese melts. I haven't made this one in a while so I don't remember, but you might need to watch and add some water during the noodle cooking time.

Bake until done and bacon is crispy. (04/19/2009) By vguy RE: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes I make hamburger pie. I fry the hamburger then drain and make mashed potatoes, then I put the hamburger in casserole dish. I then add a can of corn or any vegetables you like on top then spread the mashed potatoes on it and sprinkle with shredded cheese and seasoning. Bake at 350 until nice and hot all the way through and cheese is melted. My family loves it. (04/19/2009) By penny63111 RE: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes Mushroom meatballs have been a family favorite at my house for years. Mushroom Meatballs 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. hamburger 1 egg 1/4 box saltine crackers, crushed 1 finely chopped onion 1 tsp. salt 1 can cream mushroom soup 1 soup can water Mix all, but soup and water. Shape into meatballs, put in single layer in 9 X 13 inch pan. Stir soup and water together. Pour over meatballs, cover and bake 350 degrees for 1 hour. The sauce can be used as gravy over mashed potatoes or over rice. My mother-in-law makes this Mexican cornbread, the whole clan loves it. Mexican Cornbread 1 lb. ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 4 slices Longhorn sharp cheddar cheese 1 C. yellow cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 C. cooking oil 1 C. milk 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 can cream style corn 3 to 5 jalapeno peppers, chopped fine Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, eggs, corn, peppers, and oil. Pour half in pan, then add in layers; beef, onion, cheese. Add remaining cornmeal mixture and bake 45 minutes. (This recipe does not specify what size pan to use.) Top any meatloaf with this and you have something special, very good. Meatloaf Topping 1/4 C. ketchup 2 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 teaspoon dry mustard Stir together and spread on any meatloaf 10 minutes before meatloaf is finished baking. Bake uncovered 10 minutes. I don't know whether or not she knew what she was talking about, but many moons ago a friend gave me this recipe and said it was a Girl Scout campfire recipe. Sounds strange, but tastes good. Girl Scout Recipe 1 lb. hamburger 1 chopped onion 1 chopped green pepper 1 can pork and beans bread Cook the hamburger, onion, and green pepper until browned. Drain. Stir in the beans and serve over slices of bread. (04/21/2009) By Anonymous RE: Looking for Ground Beef Recipes A very simple recipe is to lightly brown a pound of ground beef with an onion that is sliced thinly. Peel and slice 4 potatoes. Place a layer of beef, a layer of potatoes then 1/2 can of cream soup (mushroom, celery, cheddar). Repeat the layers. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour. A quick version is to cook noodles and substitute them for the potatoes, then you only need to bake for 30 minutes. A second favorite is to brown a pound of ground beef. Into a large pot add the beef, one onion diced, a can of corn, carrots, green beans (all drained first), 8 oz. of cooked pasta, and a jar of spaghetti sauce. Bake at 350 until heated through, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle on cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts. What I do is save all my leftover veggies and freeze them and when I get the equivalent of about 5-6 cans of veggies I thaw and drain them and make the casserole. The only veggies that really don't work are like beets and sauerkraut.

And you probably have all the ingredients you need on hand. 1 pound lean ground beef 1 envelope (1.25 ounces) Old El Paso taco seasoning mix 1 cup original Bisquick mix 1/3 cup cold water 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 ounces) sour cream, if desired shredded lettuce, if desired chopped tomato, if desired Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease square pan, 8x8x2 inches. Cook beef and taco seasoning mix as directed on envelope of seasoning mix. Mix Bisquick mix and cold water until soft dough forms; spread in pan. Spread beef mixture over dough. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with remaining ingredients.

You could leave out the beans and double the meat. Still it is good. Today we had a second meal from it, topped with Mozzarella. Another thing to try is a box of Rice a Roni in layers with the beef, and I like it with a can of green beans mixed in. Good luck. Great Granny Vi (04/24/2009) By Great Granny Vi Report Spam or Abuse
