My hubby bought hamburger I need to use tonight, I don't do Hamburger helper, not in the mood for burgers or spaghetti, don't want anything too heavy like stroganoff. There must be something tasty can do!Interesting recipes using hamburger?
Taco Salad.Interesting recipes using hamburger?
I received this recipe many years ago from my Indonesian-Dutch neighbors and have used it many times. Kids love it. It's a stew with the hamburger in it - a simple one - and if you really want to be creative, either make bread bowls from scratch or buy the frozen bread dough and shape your own from that. It's very good in the bowl and then you eat the bowl!! Here's the recipe:





ROTMOK





1 onion - chopped


2 T oil


3 carrots - chopped


2 potatoes - chopped


1 can kidney beans - drained (%26amp; rinsed if you want less salt)


1 can green beans - drained (same here)


1 can peas - drained (same here)


1 can condensed tomato soup - undiluted


1 lb ground beef


salt and pepper to taste





Fry onions in the oil until translucent. Add the meat, broken into ';clumps'; and cook until no longer pink. Drain all but 1 T juice. Add the carrots and cook 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook until the carrots and potatoes are tender-crisp. Add the kidney beans, green beans, peas and soup and stir. You might add a little water if it doesn't easily coat everything. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until everything is hot. Serve with bread and butter if you don't use a bread bowl- very good to wipe the plate clean.
What about Shepherds Pie? I know some people call it Chinese Pie, but in my family it's Shepherds. :)





Brown the hamburger in a skillet.


Get out a large baking pan and a couple cans of cream corn and sweet whole corn and some mashed potatoes.


Put the browned hamburger in the bottom, then the corn and then cover with the mashed potatoes and then bake it in the oven at 350 until it starts to bubble.


You can even add cheese to the top before you bake it.

Take the ground beef and cook it very well, until there is brown on the bottom of the pan , then add a couple of cups of water and let simmer add potatoes, carrots (cubed is best) and onion and cook till potato is done. Then I add gravy made according to the directions , or use bisto made according to the directions mix around and let thicken and serve with our favorite bread or rolls. Its making me hungry just thinking about it.....
Frito bake. You cook chili, add cheese on top. Pour into a baking pan. Add frito chips sticking out of it(half in, half out) bake at 325 for 10 minutes. When it comes out you use the frito chips kinda like built in spoons to eat the chili. It's so good!
