Answers: One of my favorite dishes is Chili Burritos.

Make some Chili mix and pour this into the bottom of a baking pan.

Dice some onions and mix them with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream. Put this mix onto burritos, roll them up and place them on top of the first layer of chili that you placed in the baking pan.

Cover the burritos with more chilli and top this with more cheddar cheese.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees until the top cheese is well melted.

If you want to spice up the mix add hot chili powder to your chili as well as some jalapenos.

This dish serves a family of 6 easily.

use the crock pot....make meatballs, potatoes, gravy.

Well, I donno what you're 'usuals' are. A nice meat sauce goes great over pasta and is a cinch to make. Lazy man's lasagna is also tasty and quite easy as well.

---

make a noodle, cheese and hamburger cassarole. very good with spiral noddles. =]

---

shepards pie... the easy way.
Brown your hamburger and put it in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Make some frozen or canned peas and pour them over the top of the beef
Make some packaged potatoes and pour it over the top.
get a package of powdered or canned gravy pour it over the entire dish,
Bake for 10 minutes at 375
and then sprinkle with paprika.
It is super good and easy to make

Add some jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese, spirarcha sauce and or tabasco sauce, slosh it around with some noodles and you have something akin to a little 80's hit called "hamburger helper" that my aunt used to subject me to. Except minus the good stuff i.e. spicey stuff. Good luck.

You could try a variation of the usual. Make meatloaf as you normally would. But before you mold it, roll it out flat, not too thin and add your favorite cheese to the center. If you use mozzarella, heat up some sauce and you can serve the meatloaf with sauce on it and a side of spaghetti.

OR

You could brown it and make stuffed peppers

Or

How about Tacos??? I never eat tacos at home, so that would be unusual for me..

OR

You can make a meat sauce and serve it over your favorite pasta. (Add a little red wine to the sauce for some extra flavor)

OR

Chili

Or

On the box of bisquick, there is a recipe for cheeseburger pie. My friend MOna says it's excellent.

---

what about mac cheese with ground beef
what about creamed ground beef over rice
what about spaghetti and meatballs
what about burgers and country potatoes
what about ground beef&chilie beans, baked in a corn bread
they sometimes call it a taco something.
EVEN THOUGH THESE MAY SOUND MUNDANE, THE KEY IS TO USE DIFFERENT SPICES TO CHANGE THE TASTE AND LOOK.

This is really Very Tasty! ... and sooooooooo EASY.
15 minutes at most from start to finish.

I made this mixture when in college as had only a few things in my fridge. Never even thought i would like it and it turnes out that everyone I have ever served it to always wants more. I make at least once a month and even serve it to guests. Give it a try.... I never dreamed i would like cabbage but I promise you... this is simple as well as tasty. You will make it again. I call it:

Cabbage Goulash

1lb hamburger
1 diced onion
1 med to large head of cabbage
4 cubes beef bouillan
a little bit of flour (1 to 2 TBspoons) - maybe 3-4- taste as you cook.
Use a large frying pan with lid or stew pot with lid (may use foil as lid)
Have sour cream in bowl to dollup on top when serving. I never mix it into the cabbage tho you could.

1) saute chopped onion in a bit of oil til transparent. i like to saute them till a tiny brown appears)
2) add in your hamburger and also saute leaving bit chunky
3) once meat browned add in a cup to two cups water with three beef bouillan cubes.
4) cut cabbage in half and then cut the halves in half. Now thinly slice the cabbage so in about 2-3 inch strips. Add to the pot of browned meat. Stir all together and cover a few min so the cabbage steam down...
5) carefully and slowly sprinkle flour into the cababage beef mixture and stir so it melds into the mix. This will form a sort of gravy or thickness to the sauce. Have a cup of water handy as each few minutes you may need to add a bit more liquid.
6) I like to add pepper to taste for my own plate.
Place onto plate or bowl. Serves with sour cream and a piece of toast. MMMMMMMMmmmmm. I promise.

PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU TRIED AND HOW IT TASTED. MANY OF THESE LOOK GOOD. TY

When in a hurry a really quick meal for us is to brown groundbeef, season with whatever to taste, brown potato slices, either previously baked or canned and then cook eggs sunny side up on top. Place a lid over it and turn heat down while eggs are cooking so the yolks just barely get a firm coating. I know this will probably gross some people out but it's quick, filling, and when the egg breaks on your plate it covers everything and is really yummy. My daughter calls it breakfast for dinner and loves it.

Ok ready this is something my X made up a long time ago. He was a great cook and came up with this.

Now depending on how many people are going to be eating this depends on how much hamburger you use. But you want to have a nice amount in this reciepe

It's soup..........You'll need at least a pound of hamburger
A large can of Tomatoe Juice (NOT SOUP)
Some elbow macaroni's or small shells or
those short spiral macaroni's.
A large can of crushed tomatoes.

In a pot by itself boil up a 1 box of macaroni
Then...
Brown up the hamburger in a frying pan, drain grease. In a
large pot put in the tomatoe juice and canned tomatoes
and then add the drained hamburger. Heat until hot.

Once the macaroni is cooked, drain it and keep it in its
own bowl. You don't want to put the macaroni in with the
sauce.

In a bowl put your macaroni then spoon soup mixture on
top of it to make soup. You'll probably need to add salt
and pepper to it.

We'd always eat this soup and have grilled cheese
sandwiches with eat. It's really good. Somethin
about the tomatoe juice gives it more of a kick.

Oh and the reason I said not to add the soup to the
macaroni (I know from experience) is the macaroni
absorbs all the juice and you won't have very much left
the next day. So keep the two seperate.

Hope you try it is really is good!

after it is thawed and warmed a bit on the counter, brown it on a cast iron skillet. BROWN it, dont just cook it until it turns color. transfer it to a pot and throw in some tomatoes and mushrooms, a small can of tomato paste, a ton of garlic and chopped onions and a bay leaf. a few tablespoons of sugar, and about 1/4 cup of chili powder. dump in the contents of a couple of cans of beans (any type you wish) and pour in a bottle of wine. let simmer for many hours for a great chili. season to taste using pepper, salt and sugar. easy! serve over a bed of brown rice or wild rice or pasta.

meat pattie

---

something i didn't see so far is what i call meat cakes.
to your hamburger add one diced red or green pepper, one or two onions, about six slices of bread that's been ripped apart into smaller pieces, one or two eggs, three individual cloves chopped garlic if you like, salt and pepper to taste. two cups of brown gravy to simmer the meat cakes in.(more if you think you need it)
combine all the above ingredients by mixing them together with your hands. make them into what you might consider a large hamburger. fry them in a frying pan till browned on both sides. now add the brown gravy, and simmer for about an hour, moving the meat cakes around and turn over occasionally so they don't burn and get stuck to the pan.
simmer on medium to medium low. make sure it's just simmering. serve with mashed pototos and pour some gravy over them.
