Answer 2

Make potato casserole! Scrub some potatoes and slice up; boil them for about 20-25 minutes (until they're soft). Drain them and put them into a casserole dish. Make a white sauce out of a couple tablespoons of butter, a couple tablespoons of flour (mix those together in a pan on the stove on medium heat) then add two or so cups of milk. You can substitute cream soup instead. Brown the ground beef and layer that on top of the potatoes in the dish and cover with the white sauce and cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes.

How about meatloaf? It's not hard -- dry out a couple of pieces of white bread, break them up into breadcrumbs, mix them into the ground beef with a raw egg and maybe some Worcestershire sauce, season with seasoning salt and maybe some parsley, oregano, and/or basil, put the mixture in a bread pan, put a little ketchup on the top, bake for about an hour, and -- presto!

Answer 7

Depending on what you like for spicy er food I make a wonderful Indian dish with hamburger. You saute onion, garlic and optional hot pepper. and then add hamburger and saute till just cooked. Add cumin, coriander. ground red pepper and fresh cilantro if you happen to have a little garam masala add in a teaspoon. Cook off fresh peas and add to mixture. I just love to scoop this up in a warmed flour tortilla and Yumm. Makes a good lunch meal as well. Enjoy.
