What can I cook quick and easy with.........?
two pounds of ground beef I have already taken out of the freezer and need to cook today. The heat index here has reached an alltime high and I don't want to stand over the stove for long niether do i want spahgettis or lasgna or meat loaf. And I have only the basic things in my cabinet to cook with. I'm sort of old an fashion cooker so my basics might be different then yours. And i am willing to go to the store for extras but I want to spend as less as possible. Also heard of a dish call rotell where meat was put in it what does that consist of.

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 hamburger buns
DIRECTIONS
Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until evenly browned, stirring to crumble. I like to use a potato masher to even out the lumps. Add onion and celery, cover the pan, and cook until tender and transparent, about 5 minutes. Drain off any grease.
Stir the tomato soup (undiluted), ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. Season with salt and garlic powder. Heat to a simmer over low heat, and cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
Spoon the hot beef mixture onto buns, which may be toasted first, and serve.
