you can make meatloaf!.
MY FAV new thing is - using canned biscuits, pie crust, or made-from-scratch biscuits-
You'll need them uncooked!.
You add your favs to the hamburg - onions, peppers, garlic, cheese, tomatoes, etc!.
Add some flavor you might like!.
Heat the oven to 350!.
Wrap the hamburger in the biscuit dough!. It might be best if you let it sit at room temp for a little bit - maybe while your browning the hamburger - Then you have to roll it out - you can use a cup if you don't have a rolling pin!.
Make sure its closed!. Put it on a cookie sheet and let it brown like you would if you were just cooking biscuits!.
Its like the cheap-o way of making a calzone!. You can add pizza, spaghetti, or just plain tomato sauce (a LIGHT layer)!.
If you're still stumped, I'd do a search for it "ground hamburger recipes", or, Kraft Foods has this awesome thing, you put in three ingredients (ANY), and they make suggestive recipes: http://kraftfoods!.com/kf/Dinner/Www@FoodAQ@Com

this is something my mom used to make for us when we were kids-she called it rice and curry!.
you crumble fry the hamburger with thin slices of onion and slat and pepper!. when it is fully cooked, drain off the extra grease!. then put the meat back in the pan, and add 1 large tin of diced tomatoes, and a few teaspoons of curry powder!. simmer for a few minutes , while cooking your rice-then serve meat over a nice scoop of rice- it isn't spicey, but for adults you could add a few drops of Tabasco sauce if you wanted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
