Makes 4-5 mini meatloaves.

INGREDIENTS:
Meatloaves:
17-20 saltine crackers, crushed fine (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground meat (I used a combination of lean ground chuck and lean ground pork)
2 teaspoons oil (I used canola oil)

Glaze:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
4 teaspoons cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS:
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Stir cracker crumbs, milk, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, egg, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add ground meat and combine until uniform. Shape mixture into oval loaves (I doubled the recipe and got 10 mini loaves, so when I make the recipe without doubling it, I plan to shape into at least 5 loaves – they were definitely big enough to be perfectly filling!).

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until the oil is rippling. Add meatloaves (without letting them touch sides) and brown well on one side, 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip loaves over and tidy up edges using a spatula (I didn’t need to do this – my meatloaves managed to hold their shape really well). Brown on this side for another 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients together until smooth. Transfer mini meatloaves to a foil-lined baking pan and spoon the glaze over the top of each meatloaf. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (or do like I do and cut one of the little babies open and if it looks done – pull ‘em out of the oven!).

well take your meat and add A1 sauce and mix in a bowl, then add a dash of pepper and salt, if you want a little zing add just a pinch of chili powder.

Tater tot casserole

1 lb ground beef browned, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 soup can milk, 1 bag tater tots, shredded cheese. Mix all ingredients (except cheese) and put into baking dish top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes

I think the proportions are correct. I have a big family, and make a lot more than this. I just throw thing together until they look right to me. If it is too dry you can add another can of soup and more milk.   My kids love it though.

Have you tried meatloaf recipes? Add vegetables to the meat, make a loaf, & top it with ketchup. Google it first though. This is not a specialty of mine. (= Also try curry meat balls > with rice and a salad.

Angela - posted on 03/03/2009

I use alot of ground beef as well, mostly because its cheaper when you buy the family packs, heres a double duty one thats always been a big hit.  Buy a family sized pack of ground beef, the bigger the better, 2 boxes of Stove Top cornbread stuffing and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup.

Toss it all in a big bowl, add 2 eggs and mix it really good. Take out what you need for a meatloaf, top it with ketchup, BBQ sauce, whatever, bake about 45 min- 1 hr on 350.

Take the leftover and roll into meatballs. You can fry them first, or freeze them right away. We use the meatballs in spagetti, meatball subs, pizza soup, or "stroganoff"  Which is just egg noodles, mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream and your meat balls, if you want to get extra fancy, after the noodles and meatballs are cooked, you can mix it all together, put it in a casserole dish and top with cracker crumbs and cheese. Everythings better baked with cheese!

layered nacho dip

mix 1 package of cream cheese with one half package (250ml) of sour cream with electric beater. spread in bottom of large casserole dish. finely chop 1 pepper, some green onions, and/or a tomato (whichever veggies you prefer) and add them as a layer onto your sour cream. add 1 pound cooked ground beef onto the top, add a layer of salsa and/or heated cheese sauce and top with shredded cheese and some chives if you'd like. serve up with nachos and have yourself a pretty easy meal. adding the beef makes it a fully rounded meal! you can also try adding a white bean pread to the bottom layer instead of cream cheese and sour cream if you are trying to watch the calories. cheers!

Alexis - posted on 03/03/2009

i cook with ground beef a lot because it is so easy. ot make meals easier i have bought a rice cooker - amaing for taking a few steps out of your planning. if you have one you can put your rice and your chosen veggies (i like brocoli and cauliflower, but ahything works) into the rice cooker. do this first. if you dont have one you can just throw the veggies into the frying pan after you drain your beef. throw your beef into the pan wth some garlic and some random seasonings that you enjoy (i like steak seasoning) and cook till almost browned. drain and add veggies (if you're going to) and a chopped tomato, some ranch salad dressing and some cheese (any kind will do). cook it up for like five minutes or so. margarine, garlic and salt on your rice and voila.

i dont know very many recipes myself, and the one thing that has helped me is having a variety of random flavours in the fridge and cupboards as well as not being afraid of trying new things. i dont like tomato sauce for pasta, so i am constantly throwing things in a sauce pan to make makeshift sauces. yesterday i boiled a can of cream of celery soup with a half a cup of milk, added a nice big chunk of feta cheese, some franks cyan pepper sauce, a teaspoon of hot pepper sauce, some ranch dressing and 1 and a half tomatoes. i put it with pasta and beef, it was delisious. definately pleased my house guests.

i have made about a hundred different rice and pasta concoctions with ground beef, just using different sauces and spices and ingredients. sometimes just changing the vegetable changes everything!

hope this was helpful

i live with picky eaters too.. i did this..i used my regular every day recipe's for spaghetti and chili ony i replaced the ground beef with ground turkey...it also comes in italian seasoning syle. after feeding these simple recipies with the replacement i was able to steer them into a whole other world of cooking..bonus...lower fat,cholesteral and sodium. the oly thing they wont eat the turky in is meatlosf and taco's they tell me that they just taste WRONG!! lol....if you can get him to eat that let me know ill give you some kickin recipies for it.

Maria Elena - posted on 03/03/2009

youre welcome. my mom used to make the rice a roni for us when we were young. i'm 31 now & i thought it was easy & i also am all for fewer ingredients because i really dont care much for cooking myself so i prefer quick & simple as well. luckily, my honey does most of the cooking & he loves it anyway, but theres just some things that he cant copy, lol.hope you enjoy the goulosh.

Becky - posted on 03/03/2009

MariaElena,
Thanks for the recipes. Funny that I had never seen anyone else use rice-a-roni and hamburger together but I make the exact same thing. I put soy sauce on mine before I eat it. It's so good. My husband is all about the fewer ingredients the better so both of your recipes are great. I'm definitely trying the goulash too. Thanks!
Becky

Maria Elena - posted on 03/03/2009

2 very easy & yummy simple recipes using ground beef. both require lots of love as the main ingredient  :)  1st one you'll need: 2 boxes beef rice a roni & 1 lb ground beef. cook both boxes per directions. brown the beef separately, then add it to your rice about the last 10 min.of it simmering to absorb the seasonings. done.

2nd is simple goolosh(it will be soupy):1 lb gb, 2 lbs of elbow noodles or baby shells & 1 jar or can of tomato juice(must be campbells or v8 if preferred)brown the beef, season with some garlic powder,onion powder, seasoned salt & a little pepper. boil your pasta al dente, drain, poor back into pot.add the gb & soup into noodles(can lessen the soupiness by adding less.) i have an 11 year old & he even loves it just this way!!

Here's a few for you.  My husband likes ground beef too : )

Taco Soup

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, 1 pound ground beef, 1 medium onion chopped, 1 small green bell pepper chopped, 1 envelope taco seasoning mix, 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, 1 cup salsa, 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 cups water, 6 taco shells, 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat oil and add beef, onion and bell pepper.  Cook, stirring, until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes.

Add taco seasoning mix, beans, salsa, tomato sauce, and water.  Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.  Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile crush taco shells (you can substitue any kind of unflavored tortilla chips).

Ladle soup into bowls.  Top with crushed taco shells and Cheddar cheese.  (We also like to add a dollop of sour cream.  Sometimes I garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.)

** This soup tends to be kind of thick, almost like a chili.  For a "soupier" soup, you can add a can or two of stock.

______________________

Tamale Pie

1 pound ground beef, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 (10 ounce) can tomato soup, 1 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 (16 ounce) can corn drained, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/4 cup water, 1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn muffin mix

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease medium casserole.

Brown ground beef and chili powder.

Add soup, bell pepper, corn, salsa, and water.  Cover and cook 5 minutes.

Spoon beef mixture into prepared casserole. 

Mix corn muffin batter according to package directions.  (I like to add a little bit of sugar to a regular Jiffy brand corn muffin mix.)

Spoon around edges of beef mixture, leaving an opening in the center.

Bake casserole until corn bread is browned, about 20 minutes.

_________________________

Italian-Style Meatloaf

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 1 pound Italian sausage (not in the casing), 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 6 slices mozzarella cheese, 1 cup pizza sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Heat oil and add onion and garlic.  Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Place beef, sausage, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and oregano in a large bowl.  Add onion and garlic and mix well.

Form half of meat mixture in a loaf pan.  Top with mozzarella slices, leaving a little border around the edges.

Cover with remaining meat mixture.  Top with pizza sauce.

Bake until cooked through, about an hour.

________________________________

Family-size Hamburger

2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, 1 1/2 cups herb seasoned stuffing mix crushed, 1 egg beaten, 1 (3 ounce) can chopped mushrooms drained, 1/3 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup sliced green onions, 1/2 cup chopped almonds, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 pounds ground beef

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine butter, stuffing mix, egg, mushrooms, broth, green onions, almonds, parsley, and lemon pepper in a medium bowl.

In a large bowl, sprinke salt over beef.  Mix lightly and shape 3/4 of the mixture into a large pattie on a broiler pan. 

Spread stuffing mixture over the pattie, leaving a border around the edge.  Top with another layer made from the remaining beef.  Seal edge.  Bake until partially cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Turn heat to broil.  Broil hamburger pattie 8 inches from heat until cooked through, about 10 more minutes.  Cut into wedges to serve.

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

1 lb. ground beef or round (I used a little over a #)

1/2 c. chopped onion, or to taste

1/2 c. chopped green pepper, or to taste

1 can enchilada sauce

1 packet taco seasoning

8 oz. milk

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 c. (or more as desired) grated Cheddar cheese

1 1/2 pkg. corn tortillas, about 18 (I used 8 big tortillas...whole wheat, low carb ones)

1 can refried beans (I did not use these...I added about a cup, cup and a half of cooked rice)

I also added hot sauce and some salt and pepper to the meat



Saute ground round, onions and green pepper. Drain fat and add water and taco seasoning according to the package.Combine enchilada sauce, milk, soup. Partially cool meat mixture and add rice, 1 cup of cheese and half cup of the sauce mix/ Soften tortilla shells in microwave (I wrapped them in paper towel and microwaved them for about 45 seconds) or over steaming water for easy rolling. Spoon half of the sauce on the bottom of the pan. Spread each tortilla with approximately 1 tablespoon of refried beans; then spoon on some of the beef mixture.

Spoon on some of the cheese/soup mixture. (I filled each tortilla with approximately 1/2 cup of meat filling) . Roll up the enchilada. Place in long casserole dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used. Pour extra sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

CINCINNATI CHILI

Sauteed 1 chopped white onion and 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil until transparent and starting to brown.



Add 2 2tbs of tomato paste ans stir for a few minutes.

Cincinnati chili lovers order their chili by number. Two, Three, Four, or Five Way. Let your guest create their own final product.

Try Biscuit Cheeseburger Pie - so easy! And pretty good.  It is on the inside or outside of the box. 

Heather - posted on 02/28/2009

Here's a few recipes I like to make with hamburger:



Brown 1 lb. hamburger meat with some garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, a little bit of chili powder (can omit if you don't like it), and some mccormic's montreal steak seasoning. (of course, you can season it with whatever you like). Drain fat from meat and then add 1 can creamed corn. I also add a half can of regular corn kernals. You can add a can of mixed veggies also. Meanwhile, take a bag of cornbread mix (i like the texas sweet honey kind) and mix it according to package directions. Take hamburger mixture and put into a casserole dish. Top that with the cornbread mixture. Then put it in a 400 degreee oven for 20 minutes. Delicious!!!



Taco pie:

Brown hamburger meat with taco seasoning. Drain meat. Put crescent rolls into the bottom of a pie pan, as to make a crust. Fill with taco meat and top with cheese. Bake according to crescent roll directions. You can also top with sliced olives, etc. Then once baked, you can put some shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, salsa, etc with it...enjoy!!

I can give you several ideas for hamburger.  Take 1lb hamburger, half a jar of your favorite salsa and 1/2 cup of oatmeal and mix together.  Put in small casserole dish and bake.  Best meat loaf ever.  Sprinkle cheese on at the end if you like.  For larger meat loaf, double recipe. 

Also for hamburger steak, try adding in a packet of hidden valley ranch mix and a cup of shredded cheese to a lb of hamburger and cook  as usual.  Yum.

I hate cooking which is why I joined this group to look for EASY meals. We always cook with hamburger. Just seems to be easiest. We make sweet and sour meat balls (bought sweet and sour sauce of course), meat-loaf ( I will find my recipe for Pizza meatloaf- yum and post it here). Shepards pie, Hamburger, cream corn topped with mash potatoes, and taco's. Will post soon with the Pizza meatloaf.....
