Make a big pot of chili. I make mine pretty specific to how we like it, I just take 3 can of tomato juice, put in a pot and add garlic salt and lots of chili powder. I fry up lots of ground beef and ground sausage, drain and season the beef with chili powder. Add that to the pot and let simmer. The kids and I like it soupy and without beans. We dip peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in it. I make a separate pot for my darling hubby, he likes his thick with lots of beef/sausage and some onions/peppers and beans.
You could also cook up the beef, sesaon the way you like, maybe add some cut up carrots or a drained can of mixed veggeis, place in a non-stick casserold dish and top with mashed taters, stick in oven and have Shepard's pie.
Or make loosements. Brown up the burger, salt/pepper, add some ketchup, mustard, Worchestier sauce, horseradish, some brown sugar, mix well, simmer and have loosemeats. Just add the ingrediants until it taste the way you prefer. I love mine with a kick so I add lots of horseradish. Serve on hamburger buns or even better, crusty rolls.

Until I read your details, I was going to suggest chicken soup with barley. Oh, well. In this case, how about a good and hearty beef soup? Barley's really good in that, too. Yes, I like barley in soups; it's not gooey like noodles and has a nicer texture than rice.
Simmer a big pot of beef soup on the stove and this will help your home feel warmer. It may not raise the indoor temp, but it will feel warmer. Honest. Human senses are easily fooled.
Cut up the beef and brown it well. Season it with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. These four go everywhere! Use fresh onion and garlic, if you prefer, or use powdered. They're still tasty. When the meat is just about done browning, add a little water and simmer it a few minutes. Transfer this to a large stockpot and add more water. Use as much of the 'drippings' from browning the meat as you can. These give the soup a fuller flavor. Add your family's favorite sliced veggies, if you like, and barley (or rice, if you prefer.) The barley will be what determines when your soup's done, as a general rule, since it's usually the last item to be fully cooked. Check the barley package for cooking times. Some good veggies for soup are carrots, potatoes, and celery, if your family has no preference.
When the soup is almost done, pop some biscuits into the oven. Your family will think they've died and gone to Heaven! They'll also wish winter would last longer if it means meals like this.

my partner is aboriginal and a mad cook and makes the meanest soup/stew
here's what you do
brown some onions, add some curry powder, as much as you like-this is optional
then add your beef and as much as you like and cook until brown
add all your favorite vegies, we use corrots chopped, potato, pumpkin, and turnip and cook for a few minutes while stirring
then add some beef stock to cover all ingredients
and a little tomato sauce and salt and pepper
cover and let simmer for a few hours
the longer it simmers the more tender the meat will become
the soup is better served the next day the flavor is enhanced.
you can also add a little thickened cream to it if you like it creamy
sometimes we eat it with plain rice or crusty bread rolls
anyway ITS REALLY GOOD you can use any meat, chicken lamb or steak, i like chicken

Hi,
Here's something that will warm you up .............
Lancashire Hot Pot ..... 4 peeps
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces chopped onion
1 1/2 pounds cubed shin of beef
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 ounce butter
2 cups chicken or beef stock
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute onion until soft and deep golden in colour, remove from skillet set aside.Add beef to skillet and fry (in batches if necessary) until rich chestnut brown in color, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain fat and place to one side, keep warm.
Preheat oven 200 cl
Spread 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place browned beef and onions on top, then sprinkle with thyme and season to taste. Cover with remaining potatoes, season to taste and dot with butter. Pour stock over all, place in middle preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours
Serve with a side bowl of mixed fresh vegetables
Tip: if it begins to brown to quickly add little more stock and cover
with tin foil.
Lots of warm crusty farmhouse bread and real butter, if inclined
a full bodied red wine would be just perfect.
bon appetite
