Answers:
I cook a lot with ground beef!. Here are a few recipes that I make a lot!.

Tater-Tot Casserole
2 lbs!. extra lean ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 (2 pound) bag frozen tater tots
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions

Pat ground beef into bottom of greased 13x9x2-inch pan!. Spread soup over meat and cover with grated cheese!. Top with tater tots!. Bake at 350 degrees, covered for 45 minutes and then uncovered for 15 minutes


Taco Hash Browns
1 pound hamburger, browned and drained
1 pkg!. taco seasoning (added to browned hamburger along with 1 cup water)
16-20 hash brown patties
2 c!. cheddar, shredded
Optional add-ins!.!.!. sour cream, salsa, jalapenos
Directions:
I don't let the water completely evaporate from the meat mixture!. And I start the hash browns cooking in the oven (as directed on the pkg!.) right before I start browning the hamburger!.
When hamburger is done and seasoning has been added, the hash browns should also be done!. Crumble hash browns in big bowl, add cheese and then the meat mixture (the extra seasoned water in the cooked beef will soak into the potatoes)!. Mix well!.
Serve in bowls then you can add in whatever you want!. I like sour cream, but my husband and son go all out and put in sour cream, salsa, jalapenos and whatever else you can find!.

Have you tried stuffed peppers!? I don't have a specific recipe, I just try to wing it!. Basically, cut the tops off your peppers and chop up the top part (obviously not the stem)!. Mix the pepper w/ ground beef, cooked rice and tomato sauce, along with salt & pepper and grated cheese!. Stuff your peppers, bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees, top with warmed sauce and grated cheese!.

Usually 1 pound of meat comes up with 4 decent sized peppers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make some Taco Boats!.

Get some WonTon Wraps from your local grocery store!. They usually hang in the produce isle near the Tofu!. They come 60 to a package!.

I can make about 48-50 of these with two pounds of ground beef!.

Brown your ground beef ( 1-2 pounds) with chopped sweet onion (large or small)!. Drain and add the dry Ranch Dressing mix (1 pkg!. for 1 lb!. 2 for 2 lbs!.)!. Stir in well!.

While your meat is coking take the Wonton Wraps and place them individually in a muffin tin to bake and form a small bowl!. Transfer them to a cookie sheet after you finish baking them!.

Spoon in your meat mixture to each bowl and add grated cheddar cheese to the top!. Place them back in the oven to melt the cheese slightly!.

Toppings can range from sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, corn, chopped green onions and salsa of course!.

They are fun to make and more fun to eat!. And believe me they will disappear so don't think you can make to many!Www@FoodAQ@Com
