What I can I cook with Hamburger meat, besides hamburgers or meatloaf?

I've got about a pound of hamburger meat, and I'm sick of hamburgers and meatloaf.  I think I'd like to make tacos, but since I don't have taco shells or tortillas maybe I could make the tortillas.  Anyone know how? I've got flour, baking soda and powder, corn syrup,corn starch, shortening,oil, butter, spices,and bread crumbs. I've also got milk and cream.  I'd like to make this for a late dinner, say about 8:30 or 9:00pm.  Can anyone help tonight?Huh?

Hey granna2,  As you know we are glad to have you back!  Have you noticed the change in the first that comes up when you first get onto the site?  It's a page for people who aren't members to sign up and join.  Unfortunately, there's no place for me to login. It's kind of inconvenient.  Anyway, yes I did get your reply.  The Cups are S/O, and it's starting to get frustrating,Angry so here's what I decided to try.  I figured it's better than putting our eggs in 1 basket.  I've e-mailed solo for info on the riddle cups.Yes  We'll see.  Thanks also for your recipe, it sounds yummy!Smile

Mitten- I was just reading through some of the ideas for hamburger and I saw where you mentioned stuffed cabbages.  My mom used to make them many years ago, but she never wrote any receipes down.  Her's had hamburger, onion, rice, seasoning and tomato soup mixed in,(I think) then the meat was rolled into the steamed cabbage rolls and tomoto juice was poured over top.  Does this sound anything like yours. We called the pigs in the blanket.  They came from the Polish community my mother grow-up in.  Do anyone else have a receipe like this?


thanks Mamasue51Smile

Well hello everyone!  Sorry for not responding mandalore, but I haven't been able sign in until tonight.  For some reason it wouldn't take my password.  I finally requested a new password from BC, and it worked! YEAH !!!!!! 


Anyway, to answer your quetion about recipes, most of the recipes I mention I got from this website.  Betty Crocker has a great search engine, and some awesome recipes.  I've changed a few of them, so if you'd still like those recipes I could go ahead and post one every couple of days or so.  As long as I can sign in, it shouldn't be a problem.  Gosh, I missed everyone!  In case I haven't said it yet, thanks for the kind words about my cat "buster".  Please also say a few prayers for granna2 and her family ion her loss. She's a good person, who was there for me when I needed someone!  I only hope I can repay her at least half as much as she gave to me! G'night!

How about making just a hamburger goulash? 1 lb. hamburger, 1 small onion(diced), 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 small can tomato sauce, and elbow or penne pasta. Brown meat and onion add tomoes and sauce, salt and pepper,simmer a few min. then add cooked pasta. Easy, and you usually have these items in your pantry.

Automobile  I tried the Cheese Burger Pie Recipe - My son and his friends loved it. I let them help me make it. They had a ball mixing the ingredience and assembling the ground meat in the pan. Then while it was baking I sent them for baths. By the time they were done so was the pie and they ate like as if I starved them. Thank you for the idea. snowhite5646

New Age Shepherd's Pie


1 1/2 lbs. ground beef


1 Bag of Tater Tots


1 can of green peas/sweet peas


1 bag of Cheddar Cheese


1 bag of Mozarella Cheese


1 block of Pepper Jack cheese (optional)



Brown ground beef and drain thoroughly.  Spoon into baking dish.  Spread the green peas all over the ground beef, then sprinkle cheeses over peas.  Then lay out tater tots on top of all that.  Then sprinkle remaining cheeses over tater tots and bake for 35 minutes @ 400 degrees.  You got yourself a good meal.

Hello I am new to this site.  Have you ever had a family member refuse to give you a recipe, well that is how I kinda got here.   My husbands favorite meal is his sisters tator tot casserole.  Just to simple right, wrong.  She made it and refused to give me the recipe, so unknown to her I have cooked enough to see ingredients in a casserole.  So began my internet searches, ect.  So this tator tot casserole, not tator tots at all. (men are sooo discriptive)  Anyways hers had lose ground beef in the bottom with vegetable (corn) and hashbrowns with obviously cheese and sour cream on the top.  So I first find a recipe for Hashbrown casserole, (after a gazillion searches for tator tot casserole with hashbrowns.   Then I had a thought, make the hashbrown casserole with the ground meat and vegies in the bottom.  Whala,  so much for secrets, my husbands loves it even better than the original.  So much for family secrets.  So this is what I came up with.


 


1Lb Hamburger


1can corn


1can green beans


cook meat, mix vegies and place in bottom of 9X13 casserole dish


1Lb frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed)


1 can crm of chix soup


1 1/2 c sour cream


8 oz cheese (save alittle for topping)


Mix rest of ingredients, pat ontop of meat mixture, coat with any remaining cheese, foil and bake for 45 min at 350,  then remove foil and get golden to desire!!!


Way to easy, but great for those meat and potatoe boring husbands

I do use tator tots in my "tator tot casserole".  I also season the hamburger with some soy sauce, whorechestershire sauce and steak sauce.   I like to add some green peppers, onions and mushrooms to my hamburger as it browns.  I also use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken.  I mix a little bit of milk or sour cream with the soup.  I just recently tried the sour cream, and it was YUMMY!!  I don't always put the veggies in the casserole.  I sometimes have them on the side because my daughter doesn't like the veggies mixed together.  I don't cover mine in the oven.  I just bake it according to the tator tot directions.  This is a quick and easy recipe, and one of my favorites!Smile

Hello!


The first thing to come to mind would be a "hobo" dinner. Shape seasoned ground beef into patties, sit one pattie in one square of alumimun foil, slice onions on top (2 or 3 onion rings), peel one large potato and slice thinly over the sliced onion, sprinkle with celery salt, top with a generous pat of butter and seal up the individual foil pattie servings, repeat until out of hamburger patties. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until done.  These are a staple in the south & so good they can be addictive.


Mother would saute onions and green pepper in butter, add ground beef and cook until done, drain, peel and thinly slice 3 or 4 potato's, add 1 can of tomato soup, little water to thin out  the condensed soup just a little bit, salt & pepper to taste, cook until potatos are tender & done. If you like english peas you can add a can of drained english peas. I add the Lesuer english peas, and a can of Leseur baby carrots, drained. Mom's would be thick, Id just put it in a bowl and eat it. If you wanted it over something I suppose you could put it over rice or noodles. I prefer it in a bowl, with some good old cornbread or a good crusty piece of garlic bread. I grew up on this, over 30 years ago, and I absolutely loved it! It was just something mother threw together, one night, when she got in from work & had to fix a quick dinner. I tend to keep supplies of tomato soup, onions, green pepper, & potatos on hand for those nights when I come home and have to throw something together quick.
