Answer 1

These are all family tried-and-true recipes. The first three are for the crock pot. I hope you enjoy them.

Texas Hash
(for 5-quart crock pot)
-3 pounds ground beef (I use lean)
-3 medium onions, chopped
-3 green or red bell peppers, chopped (if you don't have peppers and like it spicy, put in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper instead...you can add some cayenne to spice it up even if you use the bell peppers)
-3 1-pound cans tomatoes (I use crushed tomatoes and can use a bit more)
-2-1/4 teaspoons chili powder
-2-1/2 teaspoons salt (or a bit more, to taste)
-3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-1-1/2 cup raw, converted rice
-------------------------------
1. Brown beef in a skillet and drain off the fat.
2. Put all the ingredients in the crockpot.
3. Stir thoroughly.
4. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. (or High: 4 hours)
*Note: I fix it through step 3 the night before and put the crock pot in the refrigerator. The next morning I take it out 15 minutes before you want to turn it on. I always use the Low setting as this does better.

Ground Beef Stroganoff
(for 5-quart crock pot)
-3 pounds ground beef (I use lean)
-3 medium onions, chopped
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-8 ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained
-2-1/2 teaspoons salt (or a bit more to taste)
-3/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (could use 1/2 teaspoon if wish)
-1-1/2 cups beef bouillon or beef broth
-4-1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
-2-1/4 cups sour cream mixed with 6 tablespoons flour
-------------------------------
1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet. If there is a lot of grease, drain off most.
2. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms to the beef. Saute until the onions are golden brown.
3. Put the beef mixture in the crockpot and add all the rest of the ingredients.
4. Stir thoroughly.
5. Cover and cook on Low 6 to 8 hours.
6. Serve over hot buttered noodles or rice, if you'd like it.
*Note: I fix it through step 4 the night before and put the crock pot in the refrigerator. The next morning I take it out 15 minutes before you want to turn it on.

Barbecued Spoonburgers
-3 pounds ground beef (I use lean)
-2 tablespoons shortening (like Crisco)
-1 cup chopped onion
-1 cup diced celery
-1 green bell pepper, chopped (I usually use red bell pepper or leave it out)
--1 large (or 2 small) cloves garlic, minced
-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-1 cup ketchup
-1-1/2 teaspoons salt
-1/2 teaspoon paprika
-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-1 6-ounce can tomato paste (I sometimes use a 12-ounce can)
-1-1/4 cups water
-3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
-3 teaspoons brown sugar (I use heaping teaspoonfuls of granulated brown sugar)
-1 teaspoon dry mustard
-------------------------------
1. Heat shortening in a skillet and brown the beef, discarding the fat.
2. Combine all the ingredients in the removable liner, stirring well.
3. Place liner in the base.
4. Cover and cook on Low 6 to 8 hours (High: 3-4 hours or Auto 5 hours).
*Note1: I fix it through step 2 the night before and put the crock pot in the refrigerator. The next morning I take it out 15 minutes before you want to turn it on.
*Note2: This recipe is a version of sloppy joes. The mixture is very good served on rolls or hamburger buns (especially warmed buns). It is good, too, over cooked noodles or rice or mashed potatoes.

Shepherd's Pie (my family's version)
Meat filling:
-2 pounds lean ground beef
-flour to thicken
-Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (for the meat)
-Cayenne pepper, to taste - optional (only use if you like things spicy)
-MSG, to taste - optional (brings out the flavor, but some people are allergic to it)
-1 can (14-1/2 ounce) beef broth
-roux of 2 tablespoons flour mixed with 1-2 tablespoons water added to thicken again, optional
Mashed Potatoes:
-9 medium to large Russet potatoes
-1 stick butter (1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons)
-1/2 to 1 cup milk (depends on your consistency preference)
-Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Together:
-American cheese or a combination of American and Provolone or American and Mozzarella (your preference, I prefer American)
-------------------------------
To make the meat mixture:
1. Brown the beef in a large pan on low, using a spoon to "cut" the beef into chunks. Turn meat until there is no red left.
2. Salt and pepper the meat. Add the cayenne and MSG if you wish.
3. Sprinkle some flour into the meat and stir rapidly so the juice is soaked up.
4. Pour in the beef broth in a slow stream, stirring while you do.
5. If the mixture looks too liquidy, make the roux and slowly pour into the meat.
6. Optional step: put the meat mixture in a crock pot for 4 to 6 hours on Low to break up any remaining fat. I always do this step because I don't like the "pieces" you sometimes find in ground meat. I start the potatoes about 30-45 minutes before the meat is done.
To make the mashed potatoes:
1. Peel and cube the potatoes, trying to make the cubes even-sized. (If you peel all the potatoes first, and then cube them the potatoes won't be sitting around and getting brown.)
2. Put the potatoes in a 3-quart pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water and stir. (The salt is essential. Otherwise the potatoes will be flavorless no matter what you do after.)
*at this point, take the butter out of the refrigerator and cut into pieces & allow to soften
3. Put the pan on High until it boils, then lower the temperature so the water is at a simmer.
4. Cook until the potatoes are soft when stuck with a fork.
5. Drain potatoes well.
6. Put the milk in another pan on the stove and warm it. Don't scald it.
6. Add the butter to the potatoes and mash well. Salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the warm milk and mash some more. The potatoes should be well mashed and mixed, but not gluey.
Put it together:
1. Put about 1/2 of the mashed potatoes on the bottom of a 4-1/2 quart round casserole dish (size is approximate).
2. Top the potatoes with a single layer of American cheese.
3. Add the entire amount of meat mixture to the top.
4. Top the meat with the remaining mashed potatoes.
5. Top the potatoes with a singler layer of cheese.
6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is thoroughly melted but not brown.

Answer 3

We had a cover dish lunch @ my church about 15 years ago & I got the recipe for my "bean casserole" from that gathering. I fix this dish at least once or twice a month & everyone loves it!

In a skillet, brown 1lb ground beef with 1 small chopped onion & 1 clove minced garlic. Drain fat & return to stove over medium/low heat. Add 1 can Bush's baked beans - I prefer the home style or country style, 1 tablespoon of worchester sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, a little ketchup, mustard, salt & pepper. Bring to a simmer & cook over medium/low heat for about 20 - 25 mniutes. You can even serve this on buns like sloppy joes!
