What are some other dishes I can make with ground beef?!
We like trying new things but nothing too exotic. We are country cookin' kind of people! :)
If you have any changes for the things I mentioned or any new recipes that we should try, please let me know!
Answers: We are looking to try a little something else rather than our usual dinner menu that we use ground beef with. Usually, we only make burgers, spaghetti, and hotdog chili. In the past, we've occasionally made lasagna, meatloaf, and bean chili but none of those took hold.

My original version for the Argentinean recipe. Rich and delicious. Any meat can be used for this recipe, just be sure to cut it up into tiny pieces.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup shortening
2 onions, chopped
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika
3/4 teaspoon hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
salt to taste
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
DIRECTIONS
In a saute; pan melt the shortening and add the chopped onions. Cook the onions until just before they begin to turn golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the sweet paprika, hot paprika, crushed red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
Spread the meat on a sieve and pour boiling water on it for partial cooking. Allow meat to cool. Place meat in a dish add salt to taste, cumin and vinegar. Mix and add the meat to the onion mixture. Mix well and place on a flat to dish to cool and harden.
Cut puff pastry dough into 10 round shells. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture on each round; add some of the raisins, olives and hard boiled egg. Avoid reaching the edges of the pastry with the filling because its oiliness will prevent good sealing. Slightly wet the edge of the pastry, fold in two and stick edges together. The shape should resemble that of a half-moon. You should have a 2/3 to 1/2 inch flat edge of pastry to work with. Seal by twisting edge, step by step, between thumb and index finger, making sure to add pressure before releasing the pinch and moving on to the next curl. Other sealing procedures like pinching without curling or using a fork to seal will not prevent juice leaks during baking, and empanadas must be juicy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place empanadas on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Be sure to prick each empanada with a fork near the curl to allow steam to escape during baking. Glaze with egg for shine and bake until golden, about 20 to 30 minutes

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bowl. Combine sour cream, egg yolk and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth.
While potatoes boil, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef or lamb. Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 or 4 minutes.

Make meat ball soup. Just add to your meat some spices and white rice uncooked. Mix together gently. Make meat balls and drop them into a pot of boiling broth with some vegetable. Cook until meat and rice are done.

Sheppard's pie
It's basically a layer of cooked ground beef in a casserole dish with whatever veggies you want to add.
Cover it completely with a nice thick layer of mashed/creamed potatoes.
Make sure the edges of the potato are right up against the dish (use a spatula is best or the back of a spoon).
Sprinkle with any cheese you like if you're a cheeselover or you can do breadcrumbs as well.
Bake for about 20 minutes in the oven (usually 350) so that the flavours meld together..
Serve with fresh green salad...
