Answer 2

Here is a couple of easy and cheap, but very good meals.

1lb of ground beef
1 can pork and beans
1 can tomatoe soup.

Brown and drain the beef, mix the other stuff in, season to taste. I like garlic, pepper, seasoned salt, and a little liquid smoke. Cook until hot, and serve over a slice of bread. Takes about 15 min from start to finish.

1lb ground beef,
1 can cream of mushroom
1cup sour cream
1 cup Frencies onion crisps
1 can green beans.

Brown and drain beef. Mix beef, soup, sour cream and green beans in a cassrole dish. Bake at 350 for about 20 min or until mixture is hot. Top with onion crisps and bake for another 5 min or unitl onions are a nice golden brown. Serve by itself or over rice. Very good.

Salisbury Steaks

dash or two of Worcestershire
1/2 C. seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
season to taste
1 pkg. McCormicks brown gravy mix

Mix first six ingredients and shape into four oval patties
Saute on each side in a bit of olive oil.
Drain grease.

Mix gravy according to package directions. Pour over patties and simmer for around 45 minutes. Stir every now and then. I like to blend some sour cream into the gravy mix at the end of the cooking time.

Answer 4

For a large family:

Parmesan Chicken (Super Easy)

6 Chicken Breasts (Raw, Boneless, Skinless)

Mix :
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup parmesan cheese (I usually use the kind you shake
over spaghetti)
1 cup Mayo
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tsp curry powder

2 cups crushed cornflakes

Put chicken in a 9x13 baking dish. Cover raw chicken with the mixture. Top wih crushed cornflakes then bake @ 350F for 1 hour. Serve over rice.

Hint: If you do not have Curry Powder you don't have to buy a whole container to try this recipe. Go to the natural food section of your grocery store where they have small spice bins and you can buy just the amount you need.

Answer 5

Ground Beef
Potatoes
Onion
Salt
Pepper
Worcestershire Sauce

Brown ground beef (rinse and drain)

put back into pot and add sliced potatoes and sliced onions and the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Then cover with water and let it boil until the potatoes and onions are tender. It doesn't take long and it is relatively inexpensive.

Answer 8

Ground beef is very versatile and you can do a lot with it but it does depend on your taste and .what you have in your kitchen. You can fry the mince with a little chilli (sauce if you don't have) , tomatoes and peppers and if you have tortilla wraps . Wrap with cheese (if you like) and serve with salad. Meatballs can be made from ground beef. and can be made larger and served with potao and veg or smaller and served with spaghetti and tomatoe sauce. Spaghetti with ground beef is easy and you can add anyhting you have in your kitchen e.g peppers, tomatoes to the beed and it can be served with any type of pasta or rice. Cottage pie is easy.
Cottage pie.
Minced meat, finely chopped onion, crushed garlic clove, grated carrot, stock cube, dash of wine if open- ha ha..
