Do you have any great ground beef recipes?!
Answers: I make Shepherd's Pie and, of course, meatloaf and chili, but I'd like to do something different. Maybe something Tex-Mex or a new type of casserole.

Tamale Pie
Main Dish Servings – 8
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 1/4 cup cold water with added chicken bouillon
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
4 tsp canola oil
3 tsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350*.
Combine cornmeal, water and chicken bouillon in a medium saucepan; whisk or stir constantly over medium heat until slightly thickened. Spread in a 9 X 13-inch baking pan, sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet, brown beef, onion, green pepper, and canola oil. Add chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper, and stir well. Add tomato paste, Ro-Tel, corn, and kidney beans, and mix well.
Spread mixture evenly over the cornbread mixture and top with 1 cup shredded soy or fat free cheddar cheese. (Or use real cheese and count the points.) Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
Variation: Spread ff refried beans over it and then put the chili type mix on that. Top with cheese (I don't do ff cheese) and bake again
This isn't Tex-Mex or a casserole, but I love this stuff.
It's called a Maid Rite, kind of like the ones that are famous in Missiori.
You brown the ground beef and add a can of Campbell's French Onion soup and a tablespoon of mustard, salt and pepper. Boil that down until it's the consistency of a sloppy joe. Eat it on hamburger buns. Sooooo Goooood!
World's Best Lasagna
INGREDIENTS
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 lasagna noodles
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

If you're looking for something easy, what about make-your-own tacos?
Just add the seasoning packet to the meat and some water, then get the taco shells at the store (Taco Bueno's are the best!) and then set out condiments: tomato, lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, picante and even cilantro or parsley if you want.
If you dont' have time to make guacamole, just chop a few avocados, sprinkle with lemon juice (and oil if you want), and serve alongside.
Tex -Mex , my kids favorite is tacos of course but there are many ways you can create the beef in our Mexican tradition.
original is ,
steam the ground beef , break it up until its not in big chunks . Add 1 spoon full of garlic and a 2 dashes of pepper mix until done and add a little salt. That's the original way .
The different way is - do the same as on top but this time add 1/2 spoon cumin . But before you add all the spices ,
chop up 1/2 onion , 2 jalapenos , 1 tomato , add it with the meat when brown then add the spices. when your mixing it all up , add in a 1/2 cup of flour until it all blends together , use a can of tomato sauce and add a glass of water and you will see it thicken and as soon as you leave it almost 15 minutes taste it and its called canre guisada (only this is w/ ground beef) originally carne guisada is made w/ chuck stew meat. But , hey know you have a way to use it twice. Let me know how it turners out. BEST OF LUCK,
