I am thawing some hamburger for dinner but i don't know what to fix?

Question

Let me mention that i don't like anything with beans in it so chili is out, i already thought of hamburger helper and the obvious hamburgers and frys is not going to win you best answer.

Answer 1

Growing up, my mom used to make what she called "Poor Man's Sloppy Joes" Now I make it for my family and they like it better than the canned stuff you use to make it.
Brown your ground beef, add onions and whatever seasonings you like. Drain well. Add enough ketchup to make a good sauce, a small squirt of mustard (too much is overpowering) and a little brown sugar. Keep tasting it and adding more of what you think it needs. Sometimes to change it a little, I add a drained can of Ro-tel tomatoes.

Answer 2

How about some "Hardeman Helper". That's our twist on Hamburger Helper. Cook your hamburger and in a seperate pot boil 2-3 cups of elbow macaroni. Drain off grease from meat, and drain H2O from pasta. Combine in pasta pot. Add 7-8 slices of provolone cheese, 1 jar of Alfredo sauce and a little milk to combine everything. We will sometimes add 2 Tbs of margarine to keep pasta from sticking. Warm up till cheese melts and voila, a meal that will satisfy everyone and you will have plenty of leftovers.

My husband and I came up with this idea one night when we couldn't decide what to do with 2 lbs of hamburger.

Answer 3

My husband despises meatloaf but loves my recipe.

Buy some Caribean Jerk marinade and some blue cheese crumbles.

With your hands mix about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of the marinade directly into the meat. Chop up some onions and whip an egg and mix that in as well. Put 1/2 of the mixture into your loaf pan and place the cheese along the top. Take the rest of the meat and moosh it onto the top to create a "cheese sandwich" and bake following normal meatloaf instructions. (Can't remember exactly as I'm at work).

yummy yummy yummy, no ketchup required.

Answer 4

I'd go with a hearty dorito casserole:

The beef, mix with some ranch style beans and 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup.

Layer the doritos in a casserole dish and add shredded cheddar cheese to the top of each level( 3 or 4) like a lasagna

Answer 5

You could do hamburgers, Hamburger Helper, Chili, Spaghetti, Tacos, or Sloppy Joes.

Brown the Hamburger and some onions if you like onions if not leave them out... if you like mushrooms then use a can of sliced mushrooms with the juice and all and then add 2 cups of water and 2 packages of your favorite gravy ......season to taste and serve over Noodles or Mash potatoes or Rice....

Hamburger steak: make hamburger patties, cook them, put one on a plate, top with cooked french fries (the frozen kind will work), add green or red chile and cheese. Serve with Texas Toast. Yummy!
