Great low carb recipe!

Cabbage Roll Casserole

cream of tomato soup

sour cream



Brown beef. Add cabbage and soup (a bit of water) and cover to cook. Once cabbage is soft, stir all together and add sour cream or serve sour cream on the side. Great with rice for the carb eating family members.

Ground beef

chopped spaghetti vegetables (onion, carrots, celery, green/red pepper)

cooked macaroni (or other pasta)

salsa

Pretty straightforward... brown beef, add taco seasoning according to directions, add veggies and cook a few minutes, stir in pasta & salsa, pour into baking dish and cover with cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, serve with sour cream and corn chips (if you wanna go that way).

i had gotten alot of ground beef on sale for 75 cents a lb one time when they had a sale(seemed like a good idea) then i was stuck in your posittion! so i started researching recipe sites. we now make our own burgers and freeze them but to add a lil bit of spice i dug in my pantry to old bottle of spices or rubs i needed to use up and mixed it in with the ground beef.(must admit so far i have not had any spice or rub i did not like in them) the second recipe i found that my family truely lovesssss is beef jerky! walmart sells a beef jerky press for ground beef that has seasoning packages in it. prepare as instructed on the box and can be dried in your oven or in a food dehydrator(i have never tried doing it in my oven but the box says you can) when i ran out of the seasoning that came in the box i went back online to research more!(imagine that..why do they create cook books again i never use one) there are many recipes online for seasoning ground beef for beef jerky and i have used many. when we lived on the mainland beef jerky was semi pricey in the store but after moving to hawaii i was like umm yeah,,nope not in the budget sorry! my kids love it and beg to take it to school as a snack each day and it used up our ground beef rather quickly(now i am waiting for them to have another 75 cent sale on ground beef since mine is all gone,,sighs

This is a really tastey salad--although to some it doesn't sound like it. It's an old one from Pampered Chef and great for the low carb option. . .



Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad

4 sesame seed hamburger bun tops

1 small red onion, divided

2 plum tomatoes

¾ lb 95% lean ground beef

½ cup finely diced dill pickles

¾ cup ketchup

1 tbsp yellow mustard

8 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese



Preheat oven to 425F. Slice bun tops into ¼-in strips (if bun tops are very thick, slice bottoms off horizontally before slicing into strips). Arrange in a single layer on Large Bar Pan; bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.



Slice half of the onion crosswise into thin rings using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with the thin slicing blade. Remove and discard the stems from tomatoes; cut tomatoes into quarters lengthwise and slice crosswise using Utility Knife. Set onion and tomatoes aside.



Cook ground beef in Sauté Pan over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles using Mix ‘N Chop. Chop remaining onion half using Food Chopper. Finely dice pickles using Utility Knife. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine chopped onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Add cooked ground beef; mix well using Small Mix ‘N Scraper.



To serve, arrange lettuce on large serving platter. Spoon beef mixture over lettuce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and sliced onion. Arrange hamburger bun croutons around the edge of the platter. Serve immediately.

We also get 1/3 of a cow and we get alot of ground beef. I have learned to make up recipes that seem to go with hamb.

One of my recipes is:



1lb-11/2lb. hamb meat (it just depends on how many people you are feeding, it doesn't matter which one you use.)

1 box of scalloped potatoes (doesn't matter which one I like to use the original or cheesy ones)

Frozen corn (whatever looks good to you)

~mix together in a baking pan and put chedder cheese on top bake to the directions on the scalloped potato box or until cheese is browning.



good luck, it is just a matter of getting creative.

Try a meatloaf recipe...and then with the leftovers, dice onion and garlic and saute in olive oil then add chopped up leftover meatloaf, add a little 1/4 cup red wine, 2 tblsp of balsamic vinegar let simmer and add dried basil 1 tsp, 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper, one 20+oz can of diced tomato the Italian style, and 1 can tomato paste, one small can of tomato sauce(smallest can) stir all ingedients to blend, cover and let simmer on very low heat for 30 min. to an hour stirring occasionally. Boil your lasagna noodles according to box directions. Layer lasagna noodles top with meat mixture, 1/2 pkg shredded mazzarella cheese and shredded parmasian cheese. keep alternating til you run out. May need 2 pkgs of both cheeses if you make a large lasagna. Make sure to save a cup to top the lasagna off with. Bake for 30 min. til bubbly. The great thing is is that you get two really great meals out of one dinner. It makes cooking it much faster. Tastes really good.

Hamburger Onion Pie:
Brown 1-1.5 lbs ground beef with an onion. Put it into a pie crust (single pie crust recipe from Betty Crocker works great). Top with a small container (16 oz) of cottage cheese mixed with one egg. Sprinkle paprika on top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes....or when the cottage cheese/egg top looks firmish. My kids love it.

Or...Hamburger over rice. Brown the ground beef (a pound or so) with or without onion. Add beef bouillon and water (or beef broth)....about 2 cups per pound...and a little flour to help it thicken. Spoon over rice.

i make eggrolls. Not the everyday eggrolls. I brown 2 lbs ground beef. add cabbage, onion, carrots, and garlic. when the carrots and cabbage are just barely crunchy. i put it aside and drain any grease. i take an eggroll wrap put a tablespoon of meat mixture and a pinch of mozzerella and pinch of cheddar cheese. and roll. i cook them in my electric frying pan in about 2 inches of oil till both sides are brown. usually makes around 30+ eggrolls. My in-laws request them when ever they come home. I hope you enjoy.

Try Taco pie.

Preheat over to 350-375 degrees F

brown and season beef as you would to make tacos, but instead of shells take a 1-2 tubes of cresent rolls. Unroll one tube of the dough in either a pie plate or on cookie sheet. Mound the taco meat in the center. Pull up the sides of the dough & use the second tube if need to completely cover the meat. Put the whole thing in the over until the dough is golden brown. Cut and serve like pie with the traditional taco toppings. Sometimes I add 1-2 cups shredded chedder & jack cheese to the meat before we close up the dough. I personally always add a dollop of sour cream and quatamole to my servings.

My family loves tortilla pies. I brown up the ground beef and then add either red or black beans, fire roasted tomatoes (with juice), some green chiles (from the can or cut up fresh, whatever is easier), and some frozen corn. I then layer the tortilla, beef mixture, and mexican cheese in a spring form pan and heat in the oven until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are heated through (about fifteen minutes). You can cut into pie slices and serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Brown the ground beef; add two cans of cream of celery soup (I use the Healthy Request version), two cans of french cut green beans (drained) and mix with a box/bag of cooked pasta (we use wheat versions). Fastest, easiest meal and everyone loves it! Used corn last week instead of green beans and they still loved it :)

Sweet & Sour meatballs. We use sugar and sour salt, but we have used splenda in place of the sugar. We put it over spaghetti squash instead of pasta as well.

Megan - posted on 07/12/2009

I cheat with homemade chinese and other ethnic foods all the time, using ground beef in place of the beef strips or chunks, and serve with brown rice. You can also make a variation of gyros (My favorite) with ground beef instead of lamb, or lamb and beef. Have you thought of meatball kabobs, meatball stews, meatloaf, enchiladas, groundbeef veggie soups and stews? You could also try a variation of stuffed peppers using tomatoes instead. And instead of spaghetti, why not a casserole?
Rice or pasta with a tomato sauce (not your average spaghetti sauce) or maybe a little bbq sauce mixed in, with veggies? And you could always make a large batch of chili and freeze part. Or you could simply cook the ground beef with your favotite basic seasonings, drain the grease, and freeze it for use when you aren't tired of ground beef anymore.

why don't you try a shepherd's pie...there's tons of variations but I usually use a layer of mashed potatoes, a layer of corn and some cheese on the top!!
