OK~ You ladies have given some great Crock Pot, soup, and Roast recipes, now what is your favorite recipe for ground beef?
The kids love taco salad and hamburger pinwheels (hillbilly housewife has that recipe). Hubby loves meatloaf, and spaghetti with meat sauce. I like mashed potatoes with hamburger gravy. Oh and everyone loves shepherd's pie.
Gravy. lol. I make homemade biscuits, and then brown some ground beef in my cast iron skillet. I drain the grase out, but leave about a table spoon or two. Put enough flour in to soak up the grease (usually it's a handful or two), stir, and then quickly put in the milk. I don't measure exactly how much milk...I kinda just know...but I usually fill my skillet half way up with milk. Stir, let it boil/simmer until thick, stirring occasionally. Great stuff. I season it with salt, pepper, onion flakes, and a dash or two of Rooster sauce. DH also makes some MEAN sweet meatballs!!!!
Megan, Would your husband share the sweet meatball recipe? I am getting hungry and for some reason am craving a nice hamburger right now?!
Barley Burger Stew!!! This recipe is only for two servings, but it's easily doubled and tripled! http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/barley-burger-stew/Detail.aspx
Porcupine meatballs - my boys' favorite! Beat an egg, add 2lbs ground beef and 1 box beef rice a roni (set seasoning aside). Form into meatballs (I do about golfball sized) and brown on all sides. Mix seasoning packet with 2 1/2 cups hot water and pour over meatballs. Turn to low and simmer 25-30minutes or until done. We LOVE to eat them with A-1 steak sauce.
Swedish Meatballs. Or slow cooker meatballs are awesome. You can make a huge pot of slowcooker meatballs with sauce and have with pasta or for a meatball sandwich.
You can make crockpot stuffed shells! I just tried it this week. SOO delicious! This is the recipe we used, minus the onion and garlic cloves. We also only used 24oz of sauce instead of 32 because J is not very big on sauce!
my dh's fave thing to do is to cook up ground beef & then add a few cans of tomato soup - yep, just like that. he's eaten it that way since he was a kid and has both our kids liking it too. kinda boring i guess, but they enjoy it :lol: meatloaf? add it to spaghetti sauce? homemade hamburgers? sloppy joes? (another fave here with the dh and kids)

I love these.......... BBQ BEEF BISCUIT CUPS 20 MinCook Time: 10 MinReady In: 30 Min Original Recipe Yield 10 servings Ingredients 3/4 pound ground beef 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 1 tablespoon dried minced onion 4 teaspoons brown sugar 1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Directions 1.In a skillet, brown beef; drain. Add barbecue sauce, onion and brown sugar; set aside. Separate dough into 10 biscuits; flatten into 5-in. circles. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of greased muffin cups. Spoon 2 tablespoons of beef mixture into each cup; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until biscuits are golden and cheese is melted.
Oh another one is this brown your beef then mix in condensed mushroom soup-yeah I know high in sodium- and serve over pasta. You can add in other things to your sauce according to taste. Anyway it's nice for a refreshing taste after so much tomato sauce.
